Exporting Assets List To a Spreadsheet¶
The Content Dashboard can export a spreadsheet (.xls file) of content related metadata for further analysis.
To export the asset list to a spreadsheet follow these steps:
Open the Global Menu (
) and navigate to Applications → Content Dashboard.Click on Export XLS to download the asset list.
While generating the file, Export XLS is replaced with a status and a cancel button for the export process. If you click Cancel Export, the export process stops and shows a message: XLS generation was canceled.
When the export process is complete, the status shows the message: XLS Generated.
Note
Navigating away from the page while the .xls file is being generated stops the export process. The system prompts the user before leaving the page.
XLS File Content¶
All metadata is exported from contents and documents, so the .xls file contains the following columns:
Title
Author
Type
Subtype
Site or Asset Library
Status
Categories
Tags
Modified Date
Description
Extension
File Name
Size
Display Date
Creation Date
Languages Translated Into
Note
The available metadata present in the .xls file affects content types. For example, an image will not display anything for Languages Translated Into, as an image cannot be translated.
