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,

Open the Global Menu () and navigate to Applications → Content Dashboard.
Click Export XLS to download the asset list.

Click the Export XLS button to begin the export process.

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.

Once the export process begins, it can be canceled by clicking Cancel Export.

Note that navigating away from the page while the .xls file is being generated stops the export process. The system prompts you before leaving the page.

A prompt appears to confirm navigating away from the page while an export is being processed.

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
Review 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.
