Enhance the view settings for the list view so that you can select the alias (sling:alias property) next to the options which are available currently.
Use-case:
If you want to localize the URL's of your web pages, the way to go is to keep the name of the page in English and use the alias value for the translation. E.g. if you have a page about history, you would create a page with name history in AEM and set the alias of this page to geschichte (which is the German translation). So at the end you will get .../geschichte.html as external URL.
Current/Experienced Behavior:
The alias value is hidden in the page properties of the page. So, from all views which are available in Sites console, you don't see this important value at one glance. If you have an external localized URL and want to figure out which page in AEM is behind, you need to open page properties of the pages in the folder in question. This is not really efficient as it could be hundreds.
Improved/Expected Behavior:
With having the option to display the sling:alias property as a column at least in the list view, you could easily identify the page.
Environment Details (AEM version/service pack, any other specifics if applicable):
This has been reported to the engineering under the internal reference SITES-22127. The product team will triage this request to verify feasibility based on the prioritization model. This post will be updated according to the Jira request status.
Hi @kautuk_sahni Please let us know if the proposed idea is prioritized and available for release. I do have the same requirement in my project where the markets are facing issue in troubleshooting the page name for the webpages which renders using the alias name.
@IndushaP I have already followed up internally with the relevant PM and I'll keep you updated if I receive any response. In the meantime, please reach out to Support or your TAM, and provide them with the Jira reference number SITES-22127. They should be able to assist you further.
