Content Audit Tool
The content audit tool displays assets from the contents list section in a chart. This chart represents the total number of assets for the selected vocabularies and categories and can include items from all sites and asset libraries. However, the chart only displays data the current user can access. You can also restrict chart results using contents list filters.
If the chart does not display the expected information, verify your categories for the selected vocabularies and ensure that your content is categorized.
The content audit tool includes four UI elements: the chart legend, the x-axis categories for the first vocabulary, the y-axis categories for the second vocabulary, and the bar chart.
Customizing Vocabularies and Categories for the Content Audit Tool
By default, the bar chart shows the total number of assets for each category in the selected vocabularies. To change these vocabularies,
-
Click Configure (
) in the content audit area. -
Use the left and right arrows to select which vocabularies to display in the chart.
You can only use one or two vocabularies at a time. Also, you can only combine vocabularies from the same site. However, you can use global vocabularies with vocabularies from any site.
-
Click up and down to order the vocabularies.
The chart uses the top vocabulary for the x-axis and the bottom vocabulary for the y-axis.
-
Click Save.
Click Flip Axes (
) to quickly switch the x- and y-axes.
Contents List
By default, the contents list displays all content you can access across your sites and asset libraries. From here, you can sort and filter this content using built-in or custom filters. The content audit tool chart changes dynamically based on the filters that you set.
The contents list includes four UI elements: a filter and sort selector, a filter editor, a search field, and a list of contents.
In the list of contents are the following columns:
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| Title | The content’s title. |
| Author | The content’s author. |
| Type | The content type: web content article, 7.4 U23+/GA23+ blogs entry |
| Subtype | The content subtype. |
| Site or Asset Library | The content item’s location in the Liferay instance. |
| Status | The workflow statuses for each content item. |
| Vocabulary (x-axis) | The categories applied to the content item from the content audit tool’s x-axis vocabulary. |
| Vocabulary (y-axis) | The categories applied to the content item from the content audit tool’s y-axis vocabulary. |
| Modified Date | The content’s last modified date |
| Review Date | The content’s review date |
The content list uses the Page icon (
) to identify assets that have a display page template.

-
