The Artwork Group Explorer displays a list of Artwork Groups and is visible in the explorer menus when artwork is enabled for the company.

Here's an example of what the Artwork Group Explorer will look like:

The following search and filter criteria are available in the basic explorer search panel:

The Artwork Group Explorer column chooser shows the following columns. The checked columns are shown by default.

One of the conceptual differences between the Artwork Group explorer and most other Explorers is how it handles child Artwork Items (and their Proof Files). The creation of sub-explorers for Artwork Items and Proof Files would introduce a level of nesting that most users would find confusing and unhelpful. Further, it would clutter the screen with 2 (or 3) Explorers for artwork.

In the Artwork Group explorer, Artwork Items are displayed within the artwork group line. If there are multiple artwork items in a group, then the value from all Artwork Items is displayed together on a multi-line row. For example, if an Artwork Group had two Artwork Items (and corresponding Proof Files), the column for “File Name” would be displayed as:

Picture1.jpg;

Picture2.jpg;

Picture3.jpg

The explorer row height is automatically set to accommodate the number of proof files if any of the artwork item or proof information is displayed.

Right-clicking on an Artwork Group in Explorer displays an action menu specific to the artwork group selected.

Here's a view of the default right click options menu:
