Overview

In update 5.3, the following features were added to the main UI:

Perforce Connection Settings

In the top-right corner of the UI, you will see a new button:

Clicking this button will show a new pop-up window in which you can view and change your Perforce connection settings.

This means you won't have to open the command prompt and type out entire commands to change e.g. your Workspace.

Advanced Search Bar

The Level Explorer and the new Asset Browser have an evolved version of the standard search bar: the Advanced Search Bar:

Creating Filters

For more control over the search results, you can create any number of filters by first clicking the Filters button (next to the Smart Search Bar) and then clicking the Add Filter button and choosing from a variety of options, depending on the tool.

The screenshot above was taken from the Level Explorer, for example, so there are numerous aspects of objects, entities, etc. that you can filter by.
For example, the filters above will filter out any visible Entities or Roads of which there are exactly 5 and show them in the table view below.

Removing Filters

Any filters that have been added can be removed again by clicking the Remove this filter button .

Configuring Filters

When you've chosen a filter, a configuration box or dropdown menu will appear next to it to specify your filter. This can be a boolean search (True/False checkbox), a dropdown menu with several options (from which you can choose more than one!) or it will let you filter by a number (like Instances in the screenshot above) or type in text.

Individual filters can also be activated or deactivated without completely removing it by clicking the check box in front of it:

Deactivated filter

Inverting Filters

It is also possible to invert a filter, meaning that for example in the screenshot above, you could let the Level Explorer show anything that is NOT an Entity or a Road, so everything else. This is done by clicking the Invert this filter button . The other filters will of course still be active, so clicking this button next to Object Type in the screenshot above would show every visible object that is NOT an Entity or Road of which there are exactly 5.

Saving/Loading Filters

Examples of Advanced Searches

	This filter will show objects that: are NOT frozen ("Frozen" is "False") are visible have physics You can see that at first a filter was added that would filtered it down to objects that existed once or more (inverting "less than 1" will mean "1 or more") but that filter was deactivated, so it isn't taken into account.
	This filter will show objects that: have an LOD count of 3 or more (greater than 2, but not including 2) do NOT have "boards" in their name (note the inverted filter) are exportable As you can see, no objects correspond to these filters, so nothing is shown in the table view below.
	This filter in the Asset Browser will show assets that: are materials, meshes or textures have not been modified (note the inverted filter) have "grass" in their name
