Your Media Portal now shows the custom metadata fields for files where they have been filled out.
Switch on advanced search in your Plus Portal

When you have a Plus Portal, you can also switch on the advanced search in your Media Portal. From here, it is possible, among other things, to filter on certain file types, a specific photographer, as well as your own metadata fields.
-
Go to the portals tab and Settings for the current Plus Portal, tick "Use advanced search".

The advanced search is now available in the form of a filter icon next to the search box.
