Structured Asset Report

The Structured Asset Report provides an easy way to look at information about certain asset types. For example, if you want to know which Design has been applied to each page in your system, instead of going to the Settings screen of each asset, you can view this information via this report.

Details Screen

The Details screen allows you to configure the settings for the Safe Trash Report. For more information about the Status, Future Status and Thumbnail section of the Details screen, see the Details Screen chapter in the Asset Screens manual.

Details

This section allows you to configure what the Structured Asset Report will show. The Details section of the Details screen is shown in the figure below.

The Details section of the Details screen

The following fields are available:

• Report Name: by default, the name that was entered into the Report Name field when the report was created will appear in this field. You can change the name of the report by clicking into this field and entering the new Report Name.
• Root Node: select the parent asset of the section within your system that you want to run this asset for. For example if you want to run it for the assets in your Site, select the Site as the Root Node.
• Asset Fields: select which information you would like to see for each asset in the report. For example, if you want to see which Design has been applied to each asset, select Designs. The Short Name of the asset will be included in the report by default.
• Asset Types to List: from the list provided select which asset types you want to include in the report. For example, if you want to show information for all Standard Pages, select Standard Page from the list. Check the inherit box to include the child type assets in the report. To add additional asset types click on the More button – an additional field will appear. You can add as many types as you want to the report. To remove an asset type from the report, click on the Clear box and click Commit.
• Regenerate Report: by default, if the report has never been generated, no information will appear in this section, as shown in the figure above. Once the report has been generated, the date, time and which user generated the report will appear in this section, as shown in the figure below. Whenever the report is regenerated, this information will be updated.

  To generate the latest version of the report, click Generate the latest version of this report and click Commit. Please note, in order to generate the report you need to select a Root Node and at least one asset type in the Asset Types to List field.  

  Tip: The last version of the report that was generated is stored so that you can view it without having to regenerate it. If you want the latest version of your report, however, you need to regenerate it.  

Report Screen

By default, if the report has not been generated, the Report screen will not show any information. Once the report has been generated, it will appear on this screen, as shown in the figure below.

 The Report section of the Report screen

The information displayed on this screen will depend on the options you selected in the Asset Fields section of the Details screen. By default, however, the Asset column will always appear. This column shows the Short Name of the asset.
