🎯 Overview

MuseDAM offers five content view modes — Grid, Adaptive, Waterfall, List, and Kanban — so you can switch between layouts depending on how you're working. Each view is optimized for different browsing and management needs, making it easier to visualize your assets and keep your workflow moving.

You can also use Field Settings to customize which asset details are displayed in each view — including folder notes, asset details, copyright information, metadata fields, display mode, status, and usage rights — so the interface fits the way your team works.

View	Description
🔲 Grid	Displays asset thumbnails in uniform, fixed-size tiles — clean, symmetrical, and consistent. Perfect for everyday browsing and quickly locating assets. This is the default view for most users.
🔳 Adaptive	Thumbnails are displayed at each asset's original aspect ratio, so nothing gets cropped. Ideal for design files, posters, and product images where showing the full composition matters.
🌊 Waterfall	Assets are arranged in columns at their original heights, creating a staggered, masonry-style layout that makes the most of vertical space. Great for browsing large collections of mixed-format images, and a natural fit for creative inspiration and mood-boarding.
☰ List	Displays assets in rows with detailed metadata columns — file name, format, size, creation date, and more. Best suited for bulk review, archiving, and asset delivery checks where accuracy is key.
📌 Kanban	Groups assets by status into columns, giving you a clear visual overview of where each asset sits in your workflow. You can drag and drop asset cards to update their status directly. Ideal for teams with asset approval workflows — for example, tracking assets across Pending Review, Approved, and Archived stages.
