Resource Manager

The Resource Manager is a built-in browser for every binary asset stored in your project — the images, videos, and files that have been uploaded. Use it to audit what is consuming storage, discover which database records reference an asset, and remove assets you no longer need.

To open it, go to the Data tab in the editor and select Resources in the left menu.

The Referenced Column

The Referenced column tells you whether an asset is actually used by your data:

  • Yes (N) — the asset is referenced by N database rows, summed across every table and column that points at it.
  • No — no row references the asset; it is orphaned.
⚠️

References are detected only through database columns. Usages inside rich text (RTF) content are not tracked, so an image that appears only in a rich-text field will be shown as No.

Browsing and Filtering

The toolbar above the list gives you several ways to find assets:

  • Filter — build a condition to narrow the list. Unlike the data visualizer, which can filter on any column, the Resource Manager filters only on a fixed set of fields: the Images and Videos tabs filter by ID only, while the Files tab also filters by Name and Size. Numeric fields (ID, Size) support equals, in, greater than, less than, greater or equal, and less or equal; the text field (Name) supports equals, like, and ilike.
  • Refresh — reload the current tab.
  • Total Count — the pager does not display a grand total. Click Total Count to run an aggregate query and see how many assets match the current filter.
  • Pagination — results are paged with a selectable page size, using next/previous navigation (there is no jump-to-page).

Inspecting an Asset

Click any row to open the detail drawer.

Open the drawer

The drawer shows the asset’s ID, and for files its name and size.

Review “Referenced By”

A Referenced By table lists each table, column, and the number of rows referring to the asset.

Inspect the referring records

Click the expand icon on a row to open a read-only preview of the actual records that use the asset.

Deleting Assets

Select one or more rows with the checkboxes, then click Delete to remove just those assets.

⚠️

An asset that is still referenced by a record will not be deleted — the operation is skipped for it, and only the unreferenced assets in your selection are removed. Use the Referenced By table to find and clear every reference first, then delete it.

⚠️

Deletion is permanent and cannot be undone.

Cleaning Up Orphaned Assets

Clean Up Orphaned deletes all unreferenced assets in the current tab in a single action. This is useful for reclaiming storage after you have removed the records that used them.

⚠️

This permanently deletes every asset shown as not referenced. Because rich-text (RTF) usages are not tracked, media used only in rich text is treated as orphaned and will be deleted. This action cannot be undone — review the list before confirming.
