Show or hide metadata search categories and search filters

Users of XProtect Management Client with administrator permissions can show or hide the default Milestone metadata search categories and search filters in XProtect Smart Client. By default, these search categories and search filters are hidden. Showing them is useful if your video surveillance system meets the requirements (see Metadata search requirements).

This setting affects all XProtect Smart Client users.

This setting does not affect the visibility of:

  • Other, non-metadata Milestone search categories and search filters, for example Motion, Bookmarks, Alarms, and Events
  • Third-party search categories and search filters
  1. In XProtect Management Client, in the Site Navigation pane, select Metadata Use > Metadata Search.
  2. In the Metadata Search pane, select the search category that you want to change visibility settings for.
  3. To enable the visibility of a search category or search filter, select the corresponding check box. To disable the visibility of a search category or search filter, clear the check box.
