Quick Tips

• Use Dropdown or Autocomplete for easy filtering - these field types let users filter assets in the Library, making search much faster
• Keep it simple - start with one or two essential fields and add more as you need them
• Choose clear names - use descriptive labels so users know exactly what information to enter
