Exporting asset metadata to CSV in Adobe Experience Manager Assets
AEM Assets exports metadata to CSV from a selected folder. The UI doesn’t provide direct CSV export for selected search results or collections. To export metadata, select the folder, configure the export, and download the completed CSV from the Inbox.
Description description
Environment
Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) Assets (all supported versions)
Issue/Symptoms
- You need asset metadata for reporting or downstream processing, but don’t see a CSV export option in search results or collection views.
- No error message appears; the export action isn’t available in those views.
Cause
The current AEM Assets UI only supports metadata export to CSV at the folder level. Exporting metadata for individual assets, search results, or collections is not available in the UI at this time.
Resolution resolution
Follow the steps below to export asset metadata to CSV:
- Open AEM Assets.
- Select the folder that contains the assets whose metadata you want to export.
- From the toolbar, select Export metadata. In the Metadata Export dialog, enter a CSV filename. Choose all properties or select specific properties. Select Include assets in subfolders if you want to include assets in subfolders, then select Export.
- When the export job completes, open its notification in the Inbox. Select the job, select Open, then select CSV Download.
- Open the CSV file and verify that it contains the expected assets and metadata properties.
The UI doesn’t provide direct CSV export for selected search results, individual asset selections, or collections. Share requirements for these export options through Adobe’s feedback channels.
