How to report on "annotations"?

[17573625]

Is it possible to extract the annotation data (attributes and values) using the ACS AEM Commons "Reports" functionality?

I'm trying to find the "annotations" node in CRXDE Lite, but can't find it.

Hi @17573625,

Yes this is possible to get annotation data using Reports from ACS Commons. Here is an example, for below crx structure

.

• Report configuration, I have used following SQL query to get the data:
  

  SELECT child.* FROM [nt:base] AS parent INNER JOIN [nt:base] AS child ON ISCHILDNODE(child, parent) WHERE ISDESCENDANTNODE(parent, "{{path}}") AND name(parent) = "cq:annotations"

  where {{path}} is variable to pass content path to query to generate the report.
  
  Above screen shows which component has been used to build the report and, what exact values each component contains.
• Sample result - to be clear I have added 2 annotation on page from we-retail for testing purposes
