Generating asset upload reports in AEM without Workfront integration
This article explains how to generate asset upload reports in Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) when the previous Workfront-based process is no longer available.
Description description
Environment
Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) (all versions)
Issue/Symptoms
The previous method for generating asset upload reports used Workfront integration, which is no longer accessible. There is a need to generate a report of all assets uploaded to the AEM environment, including metadata such as:
- Author name
- Upload date
- File type
- Content path
No error messages are reported. The challenge is the lack of a current process for generating the required report within AEM.
Cause
The previous reporting process relied on Workfront integration, which is no longer available. AEM Assets provides built-in reporting functionality that can be used to generate asset upload reports without external integrations.
Resolution resolution
Follow the steps below to resolve the issue:
-
Access the AEM Assets interface in your AEM environment.
-
Navigate to Tools
>Assets>Reports. -
Click Create to start a new report.
-
Select the Asset Report template or a similar template that allows you to include asset metadata.
-
In the report configuration, add the following columns as required:
- Author (uploader)
- Upload Date (created/modified date)
- File Type (MIME type or file extension)
- Content Path (asset path)
-
Apply any necessary filters (such as date range or specific folders) to narrow down the report scope.
-
Save and run the report.
-
Download the generated report in the preferred format (CSV, Excel, etc.) for further analysis.
