The new guided power search is based on the advanced filter editor where users can construct complex searches using drag & drop. The new guided power search is intuitive and easy to use for users who quickly need to find Content Items without layers, or items with correct copyright information and the permission to use in publications. The advanced search box requires some knowledge of the underlying data model and data structures like field path and field IDs, for which you find the advanced search sheet cheat in the Picturepark manual. In the new guides search users can drag & drop fields and operators (AND, OR, NOT) to create the advanced search query in seconds, without knowing anything about data structures or field paths.

Benefits of Guided Search for Power Users:

• Increased Productivity: Guided search helps power users find what they are looking for faster and more efficiently, reducing the time spent searching and increasing their overall productivity.
• Improved User Experience: Guided search provides a more intuitive and user-friendly experience, reducing frustration and improving the overall satisfaction of power users.
• Enhanced Relevancy: Guided search helps to ensure that the most relevant results are returned, improving the accuracy of searches and making it easier for power users to find what they need.

The syntax can be copied from the text editor and used via API for searching content, the creation of channels, for tagbox fields, relationship fields, or lists).

With the Filter Editor, users and power users alike can easily create complex filters without having to know the syntax of the metadata. The intuitive drag & drop interface allows you to effortlessly select the parameters you need, and the editor generates the query for you. The underlying syntax is still visible in the text editor, where power users can easily check, change or adapt the query to their needs.

Our advanced filter editor makes it simple to restrict the values available for tagging in a tagbox e.g. show only products for EMEA; or the Content Items displayed in a specific Channel e.g. only approved product marketing content. Possible filters are:

• Date-based filters: Easily filter content based on the date it was created, modified, or published.
• Keyword-based filters: Quickly find content based on keywords, hashtags, and other metadata.
• File Type filters: Quickly identify content by file type, such as images, videos, or audio files.
• Geolocation-based filters: Filter content based on its location, such as a specific city or region.

Take control of your digital content with the Picturepark Content Platform's Filter Editor. Get started today and discover the power of simple drag & drop queries.

The migration to Azure marks an important step forward in providing our customers with the best possible experience. New customers are automatically deployed on Azure, whereas existing customers will be migrated to Azure. Migration slots will be defined and communicated.

Why Azure?

Azure is a leading cloud computing platform that offers a wide range of benefits, including increased scalability, security, and reliability. This migration will allow us to offer our customers access to the latest and greatest AI capabilities, improved GDPR compliance, and a more seamless user experience.

What this means for you:

• Robust infrastructure: Azure offers a robust and reliable infrastructure for hosting applications and data.
• Scalable and flexible: Azure provides a scalable and flexible platform, allowing organizations to scale up or down as needed.
• Comprehensive security: Azure provides comprehensive security features to protect sensitive data and applications.
• AI Capabilities*: The integration with Azure Image and Text Recognition will give you access to the latest and greatest AI features for improved image analysis, text extraction, and GDPR compliance.

*Clarifai AI Tagging is still supported. Customers can decide if they want to switch to Azure AI tagging to benefit from better GDPR compliance.

Possible use cases for AI capabilities using image/text recognition:

• Object Detection: Azure Image Recognition is used to detect objects in images, such as cars, buildings, and people.
• Image Tagging: Azure Image Recognition is used to tag images with descriptive labels, making it easier for users to search and categorize images.
• Image Moderation: Azure Image Recognition is used to detect and moderate images that contain inappropriate content, such as nudity, violence, and hate speech.
• Label Recognition: Azure Text Recognition extracts sponsor or brand names from products or jerseys.
• Invoice Processing: Azure Text Recognition accurately extracts invoice information, reducing manual data entry and increasing productivity.
• Handwritten Text Recognition: Azure Text Recognition accurately recognizes and extracts text from handwritten documents, improving the accuracy of handwritten document processing and reducing manual data entry.

Migrations:

If you're already a Picturepark Content Platform customer, you will be migrated to Azure with migrations starting in March 2023, after the rollout of this release. Migration slots will be defined and communicated.

Important for integrations: With the upcoming release each customer will have their own unique DNS name for API access. To ensure your integration continues to work seamlessly after the customer is migrated to Azure, please update your API host to the customer's specific API host shown in the customer info tab in Picturepark or the per-cloud API host (available from support@picturepark.com). More details available here: https://picturepark.com/apichanges

NOTE: The API host is not changed with this release, but with the migration to Azure for which we will communicate migration slots.

We're here to help:

If you have any questions or concerns about the Azure migration, our support team is always here to help. We're committed to making this transition as smooth as possible for our customers.
