Custom column in the AEM collection list view

[GokulakannanV]

I have a requirement to add a custom column to the list view inside a collection in Adobe Experience Manager (AEM). Could anyone guide me on how to achieve this?

You can do overlay.

Go through the below link for customizing consoles.

For AEM collections, you can overlay the below path under apps

"/libs/dam/gui/content/collections/jcr:content/views/list/columns"

Correct me if I'm wrong by overlaying 

"/libs/dam/gui/content/collections/jcr:content/views/list/columns" we can be able to add columns in the list view for collection, but my requirement is to add custom column in the list view inside the collection

My suggestion to overlay under /apps/ and update it.

You can follow this old blog post, this should work even now. Give it a try.

Or else

This is a reference doc to add custom columns in Sites list view. You can follow a similar approach for your use case.

Let me know if none of the above work.

Hello @GokulakannanV 

There are some additional columns already available that you can include from view settings option. Can you please check if the field you are looking for is in that list ?

Thanks

Hi, yeah, we can be able to add additional columns using view settings option but adding the column via view settings is a user specific. I need to add the column for all users
