Query of "checked out" assets

Dear AEM Community,

 

Can you please help with a query to find out which assets my users have ‘checked out’ of the DAM? I know there are quite a few but I don’t know what they are unless I randomly encounter them.

 

The query I’m trying to run is:

path=/content/dam&
type=dam:Asset&
property=jcr:content/jcr:isCheckedOut&
property.value=true&
p.limit=-1

 

However I get no results with this. I also get no results with if I replace the property with property=jcr:content/jcr:lockOwner

 

What am I doing wrong?

 

Many thanks

Chris

      Try checking the asset’s jcr:content node in CRXDE first to confirm the actual lock property being stored. The query properties you’re using (jcr:isCheckedOut, jcr:lockOwner) may not exist for DAM assets in your AEM version.

      Once you find the correct property on a known checked-out asset, update the Query Builder filter to match that property.

      Hi ​@ChrisWL, the checked out property is not under jcr:content, its directly under the asset node. So this should work:

      path=/content/dam&
      type=dam:Asset&
      property=jcr:isCheckedOut&
      property.value=true&
      p.limit=-1

       

      Hope this helps!
