Okay, I give up. Why don't most of the matching assets show up in Smart Content?

I've played around in Daz 3D before, but I never really got into it. I decided to try again today, and the first thing I did was go to the shop and download a bunch of the assets that they had marked down to Free. I set up the Asset Manager and waited for all of them to download and install. After that finally finished (I got a bunch of stuff), I started playing around in Daz again and trying to figure out the interface. I did some stuff on my own, did some tutorials, and then stopped for the day. 

But then later on, I thought of one particular item that I had gotten for free, and realized that it wasn't in the list of available wardrobe items for the figure it was supposed to go with (most of the items they're giving for free go with Victoria 4, so that's what I was using). I went back in and looked around for it, searched high and low in the Smart Content tab, and didn't ever find it. Finally, I switched over to the Content Library tab, and found it in the alphabetical listing. It's there, it works fine, everything seems okay except that it (and also other items I downloaded) doesn't show up in Smart Content. 

The alphabetical listing is okay if I know exactly which item I'm looking for, but it's not worth much for browsing around and picking out something that looks good, because it doesn't filter out all the items that don't fit that particular figure. Is there some way to manually import these items into Smart Content, or do I need to just keep an external list of all the items I have for each figure?

    A lot of the older content for Victoria 4 is in the Poser library and doesn't show up in Smart Content, its too old.  And an outfit can be scattered across two or three categories in the poser section, pose, props, materials etc.  Honestly, its pretty much a crap shoot where things are located.  A lot of it is in the poses folder even though most of the stuff there is not a pose.  Go figure lol.  So the alphabetical list is the best way to find it.  However,  you can make your own custom categories, that way you only have to find the stuff once and you can set it up any way that makes sense to you.  I have a mini tutorial on how to those here, that can help you get started

    Great, I'll look into that, thank you!
