Details

The Details screen of an asset allows you change various details including the name of the asset and its Status.

Status

This section shows the current Status of the asset and allows you to change its Status.

The Status section of the Details screen

The fields available are as follows:

• Current: this field shows the current status of the asset. For example, in the figure above, the Status of the Standard Page is Under Construction.
• Change: to change the Status of the asset, select the appropriate status from the list provided. The options available depend on the current Status of the asset, what permissions you have and whether or not Workflow is applied. For example, if the asset is currently Under Construction and you have Admin Permission, the available options are Approve and Make Live and Archive. If there is Workflow applied to the asset then the available options are Apply for Approval and Archive.

  Tip: You cannot change the Status of an asset if the current Status is Pending Approval, as Workflow is in progress.

  You cannot change a dependant asset to a Status lower than that of its parent.

• Cascade Status Change: check this box to cascade the Status change to all child assets.

  Tip: To cascade the current Status of the asset to its child assets, click Cascade Status Change and click Commit. For example, if the asset is Live but the child assets are Under Construction, to make them all Live, click the Cascade Status Change and click Commit.

Future Status

This section allows you to schedule a Status change for the asset at a date and time in the future. This requires the Cron Manager to be configured on the Squiz Matrix server. If it has not been set up, these fields will not be available.

The Future Status section of the Details screen

The fields available are as follows:

• Set Status to: select the required Status from the list provided.
• At: select the date and time for when the Status change should occur from the list provided.
• Next Run: alternatively, click on the Next Run button to set the date and time to the next run of the Cron Manager.
• Or In: you can set the Status change to take place in a certain number of minutes, hours, days, weeks, months or years. Enter the number into the text box and select the appropriate time frame from the list provided.
• Cascade Status Change: check this box to cascade the Status change to all child assets of this asset. 

Once a Future Status change has been scheduled it will appear in the Scheduled Future Status Changes section, as shown in the figure below.

Thumbnail

This section allows you to assign a thumbnail to the asset. This thumbnail can be used as content within your site. For example, you can set up an Asset Listing page to display the name and the thumbnail for each page in the Site. For more information on the Asset Listing page, refer to the Asset Listing manual.

The Thumbnail section of the Details screen

The fields available are as follows:

• Current: if there is an thumbnail assigned to the asset, this section will display the details of the thumbnail including the name and size of the file, when it was last updated and the dimensions of the image. If you click on the Current File link, a preview of the thumbnail will appear in a new window.

  Tip: If you have selected a new Thumbnail to upload using the Upload File field, the details of this file will not appear in the Current File section until you click Commit.
