If I load old Daz Studio products into a scene along with newer ones and 3rd-party ones, the newer Daz Studio products show up when I run List of Products.  As expected, the old Daz Studio products and 3rd party products do not.  Is there anything that I can manually add to the metadata of old Daz Studio products and 3rd-party products so that List of Products will display them when in a scene?

Below is an example.  The scene contains

• Cow (SKU 354)
• Grumpy Santa (SKU 106421)
• Bench (SKU 102789)
• Abacus (SKU 21250)
• Dragon (SKU 487)
• Baseball (SKU 32221)
• 14MU Worker (SKU 13537)
• Barrel (SKU 23591)
• Mantle clock (Renderosity).

Prior to saving the scene, List of Products listed the products containing newer Daz3D content - Grumpy Santa, the bench, the abacus, the baseball and 14MU Worker.  After saving the scene and reloading it, List of Products only listed the products containing the abacus, the baseball and 14MU Worker.

 

I don't know anything about setting metadata to products... It is a QA work for us, so I never had the oportunity to work with the metadata set up... Sorry!

@MikeD,

No worries.  List of Products Used still puts me in a better place than I was before having it to use.

A starting point to learn how to setup metadata:

With that, you should have what you need to understand how it's done.

The rest is practice, practice, practice and to help you when you don't know how to properly label something, it's a good idea to looks at a couple of similar products you bought from Daz (a couple because Daz themselves are prone to error or to sometime label the same thing in various ways).

In the end, it's more tedious than hard, and to aleviate the tediousness, I suggest listening to something like music, a podcast, the radio

I had watched Slosh's video  several months ago.  As a hobbyist, I don’t have the need to have extensive metadata for a product.  I have added just enough  metadata to some third-party content to create a product from them so that they appear in Smart Content with metadata categories and to further categorize files so that they are not all in All Files in the product.  I will watch the video again, though, in case I want to take a deeper dive.
