Custom Data Filter - User Guide


About

Administrators can give users the ability to filter via custom metadata and, specifically search in custom metadata, in the video portal entry search. This provides you with more precise search results than using the default Filter option via the video portal search engine. The following sections outline user capabilities. 

This module is for both Theming and non-Theming users.

For technical support, contact Kaltura Customer Care. For all other inquiries, reach out to your Customer Success Manager.

Filter search results

If your admin has enabled and configured the Custom Data Filter module, there may be up to eight metadata fields with which you can filter media in video portal.

  1. Log into your video portal. If you need help, please follow the instructions in Log into your video portal.
  2. For both Theming and non-Theming users, select My Media from the user ACTIONS menu. 
    Theming:
    Non-Theming:My Media displays.
  3. Click Filters.
    The filter choices display.
  4. Click More Filters to see additional filters. 
    Below is an example of a custom data filter enabled by the administrator, allowing you to filter media by department division. 
  5. Simply select desired filters and the media is filtered. Only media that fits the search criteria chosen is displayed.
