How can you create AssetShotConnections?

[sogrday]

Hey,

I came across this quick guide

and also this forum post

Filter with AssetShotConnection Entities

Hi I’m using an AssetShotConnection field to describe whether or not the linked asset is “in camera” or not. [image] But I can’t figure out how to use this in filters on asset list pages. The shot-specific fields don’t show in the filter browser. For example, I want a tab that shows in -camera assets, and another tab that shows not in-camera assets. Production also need to know which assets are in-camera across a sequence to prioritise asset build. Can this be done?

At 0:23 in the video the Asset Shot Connections entities are covered.
On our shotgrid website I cannot find any such entity.

I also looked in Site Preferences > Entities thinking it was an entity that has to be enabled first.

How are AssetShotConnection entities created or enabled ?

Hi @sogrday

You don’t need to enable anything in your site preferences for this. Its just part of multi-entity links.

First thing is to check that you do or do not have a shot/asset connection already setup.
If you are on your Assets page in list view, and you click on the fields box, do you see a “Shots” option?

If yes, then you should be good to go. Click on an asset to go to the details page for that assets.

Next question, you should see a list of tabs (Activity, Asset Info, Tasks, Versions, etc). I’m guessing you are missing a “Shots” tab since I don’t think SG includes this in their default templates?

• To add one, click on the white page icon in the upper right corner and select “Design Page”.
• In design mode, hit the “+ New Tab” option, enter a name of “Shots” (or whatever you think is appropriate) and choose the type “Shots”.
• You should now see a Shots tab added to your list of tabs. If so, save the page.
• Now in that shots tab, you can click on the fields button and you’ll find the “Asset-Specific Fields” section where you can add which ever fields you need.

I’m going based on a few assumptions here. Let me know if you hit any walls and I’ll elaborate more based on what happens.

Best,

Pete

also, I forgot to mention that if you want that list view of the connection entity items (you mentioned the 0:23 second mark in that video)

You need enable that in your site preferences.

• Go to the Advanced section
• Find the option “Enable List Pages for Connection Entity Types”
• Add “AssetShotConnection”
• Hit Save
• It should then appear in the Other tab on your project

Hey @PeteHart.

Great thanks.

Was not aware that AssetShotConnection was a custom entity that had to be created first.

Thank you !
