Viewing Details for an Asset

Use the following procedure to view the details for an asset.

Each tab on an asset's details page represents a collection of attributes called a profile. You will only see the profiles for which you have View permission. Each asset type has a unique set of profiles. However, your administrator can configure these asset types to display a customized set of profiles and attributes.

Start of instruction setTo view details for an asset

  1. In CentraSite Control, go to Asset Catalog > Browse.

  2. On the Browse page, perform a keyword or advanced search to display the assets. For procedures, see Searching the Asset Catalog.

  3. Locate the asset whose details you want to view and, from its context menu, select Details.

    CentraSite will display the attributes for the selected asset. If you have Modify permission on the asset, you can edit the asset's attributes.

You can view a tooltip text for any attribute in a profile of the asset's details by moving the cursor to the attribute name. The tooltip text gives a summary of the attribute's purpose. The tooltip text shown is the content of the attribute's Description field, as defined for the asset in the asset type definition. See the section Creating a New Type in the document Object Type Management for information on defining attributes for asset types.

You can also view the detail pages of multiple assets. To do this, proceed as follows:
