Connecting to Nucleus Servers
In the middle of the left panel of the Content Browser users can connect to one or many Omniverse Nucleus Servers by clicking “Add New Connection” under the Omniverse heading.
Once clicked, a panel will emerge allowing you to enter a host Omniverse server address, and optionally an alias name for that server. If no name is given, the full server url is used as the name.
Once added, you can now select the server to explore. When you do you, a web sign-on panel will appear. Enter your credentials to log in.
You can now explore your newly connected server.
Bookmarks
For frequently accessed locations both locally or on a server, you can set a file or a folder as a bookmark. Bookmarks are displayed at the top section of the left panel of Content Browser.
You can add bookmarks either by right clicking an item and click on “Add Bookmark” option, or by clicking the bookmark icon on the right in path field. A dialog shows up and you can edit the name of the bookmark, and optionally the url of the bookmark as well.
You can rename a bookmark or change its url by right clicking on it and select “Edit”. If you want to remove a bookmark, you can right click on that bookmark and select “Delete”, or browse to the bookmarked location, and toggle off the bookmark icon on the right in path field.
