Folder item count

Avatar

Level 3

Is it possible to have folders show a numeric value/count on how many assets are within that folder? For example, we have a lot of folders that are currently empty however it isn't possible for a user to know that unless they click into the folder. We may just delete these folders for now if we can't show a numeric value/count on the folder level.

This is not possible. And even on click on author view you can not see exact count of assets within folder as assets lazy load as user scrolls to avoid slowness and performance issue. 

 

Better to take the disk usage / file report OOTB AEM - and check which folder has no assets and clean them up.

 

Idea of the DAM however should be to make search and filters intuitive enough so that users do not have to know and browse through folder hierarchy.

@Susan_Hart_DeltaDental you can check the folder level assets info using following modifier:

https://<domain:4502>/etc/reports/diskusage.html?path=/content/dam/folderA  

The report could take time depending on the size of the folders, but helps understand the sizing.

Hope this helps.

@Susan_Hart_DeltaDental The asset disk usage report gives the exact count and size of the folder. Its OOTB.
