Issue 1
There is no reporting function in the DAM. I mean there is a reporting capability, but it suffers from the same issue that the metadata export suffers from; namely, you have to enter the metadata fields you want to report on, one by one. Laboriously. And once you have done this once, there is no ability to save the report/metadata export so the next time you want to do either you have to go in and re-create the whole extract/report again.
When you add properties to be exported, it is not a multi select screen so the task is painful when you need to export a big list.
Issue 2
You can get around Issue 1 by selecting the All option to get all metadata fields…
(See screenshot Issue 2)
But for some reason despite us only having about 90 metadata fields, the ALL options produces a CSV of anywhere from 200-3000 metadata fields, depending on how many assetpaths it returns. This renders the Export ALL option completely useless because the CSV file generated for any large number of assets is so big that Excel cannot open it.
