Work with tiles

You can sort tiles, select multiple tiles, and navigate between tile pages.

Sort tiles

Sorting tiles helps you visualize your content and find the data you want. You can sort a set of tiles in ascending or descending order, by the field of your choice.

Tip In tile display mode, you can only sort on one field at a time, whereas in table display mode, you can sort on one or more columns simultaneously. However, if you sort on more than one column in table display mode and then switch to tile display mode, the results of the multi-column sorting is carried over to the tiles. If you then change the sorting while in tile display mode, the sort will be based on the single field of your choice.

Steps

1. Do one of the following:
   • Open a view in tile display mode.
   • Open an asset page with related assets shown in tile display mode.
   By default, the tiles are arranged in ascending order by name.
Note 
• If you or someone had applied sorting to multiple columns in table display mode before switching to tile display mode, the multi-column sorting is retained in tile display mode.
• You cannot apply multi-column sorting in tile display mode.
2. Click the Sort By drop-down list box.
   
   A list of fields that are currently visible for the set of tiles appears.
   
   
3. Select the field by which you want to sort the tiles.
   
   The tiles are sorted in ascending order, as indicated by .
4. To sort in descending order, click .

Select multiple tiles

When you select a single tile, all of the actions available to you appear above the tiles as buttons. The same is true when you select multiple tiles. For all of the tiles you've selected, you can perform the same actions or start a workflow.

Note Only workflows that apply to all selected tiles are available.

Steps

1. Do one of the following:
   • Open a view in tile display mode.
   • Open an asset page with related assets shown in tile display mode.
2. Select the checkbox next to the tiles you want to select.

   • Open a view in tile display mode.
   • Open an asset page with related assets shown in tile display mode.
