Find What You Need (Super) Fast

You’re on a roll and you’re on deadline. You need the perfect image to complement your layout, or maybe you just need sales figures stored in some Excel or Word file to include in an annual report layout. Using Cumulus, you no longer need to think about who has the file or where it might be, you just need to think about what you need. You find every asset you need right from within the very same user friendly, workflow-focused interface.

What’s more, you have some assurance that the files you find can actually be used. Cumulus’ powerful permissions system enables administrators to keep off-limits assets out of your way. No more sifting for hours through poorly organized archives as a prelude to the email circus that'll be required to get permission to use what you find. Using Cumulus, your workflow is search, drag, drop, done!

The three most common search methods Cumulus offers are the QuickSearch tool (works like a keyword-based Internet search engine); category double-clicks (finds assets assigned to the selected categories); and the Find Tool, which enables users to construct and share complex queries that become accessible from a menu.
