We've recently been updating sites to a newer design, and while simple sites with a single customisation applied are fairly straight forward, complicated sites with multiple customisations (changing in some cases for second or third level assets) can be trickier.
An easy way to review the sites before, during and after the design changeover would be if I could point an asset listing at the sites and have it list each page (etc) with the design information alongside.
Is design information for an asset available via the asset attributes keyword or any other keyword? I've had a look through the manuals but couldn't see anything.
No, there isn't any way to access this in an asset listing. You could use the SOAP Server which allows you to list the design for asset asset, or use the Usage screen of the Design itself.
If you are just looking to see which design customisations are used, doesn't the Usage screen on the customisation give you this information?
I think we was wanting a more efficient way to view what designs are used for different assets in an Asset Listing. So that you could just browse down a list rather than visiting the Usage screen.
If you are just looking to see which design customisations are used, doesn't the Usage screen on the customisation give you this information?
For an individual asset, or a small collection (say <30) then using the usage screen is not a problem.
I'm working on a site however, for which there's ~3800 public URLs and a similar number of assets. Trying to map out the existing designs and customisations applied to identify what needs to be setup in a new design is therefore a bit more complicated.
