Metadata schema changes not getting applied in list and column view

Hello All,

 

Using metadata schema editor in Tools -> Assets -> Metadata Schemas. We have made title and description as required fields. 

Applied this schema to folder and uploaded image. It doesn't show "REQUIRED METADATA MISSING" alert in List and Column View but we see the alert only in Card and Insights View.

Let us know how can we enable this alert for List and Column view as well.

 

PFA screenshots for reference.

    @sumeet_kul : Card view is the default one.

    The view seems to be driven on the order of these nodes from /libs/dam/gui/content/assets/..., if you really want any other view as default then changing the order of these will have to be done. I have made list as default view now (Please note this is in libs and we are not supposed to change anything there, so you should overlay into /apps before making any changes)

      @prathiksm : This seems to be the expected behavior. The missing metadata alert is defined/created in card view as of now. You can see this in the file at :- /libs/dam/gui/coral/components/admin/contentrenderer/card/common/card-banner.jsp


      If you have to do this in other views, you will have to modify the rendering jsp file accordingly. But please understand that there is hardly any space on list and column views for the this error to be shown. Maybe that's why it is designed like this OOTB. 
      Also, as you can see this error when you check the properties of these assets irrespective of view. Please review your requirements and see if you absolutely need it in all views, you may end up making lot of styling changes in list and column views.

      thanks.

        Whenever asset has missing "required metadata" - there has to be warning or alert across all views - card, list, column etc., (Need not be exactly match  "REQUIRED METADATA MISSING" on the thumbnail)

         

        Requirement :

        We want to read the details from title and show it as alt text for the image. We don't want use the asset name for alt text as we want it to be meaningful.

         

        I agree we can see the error when we check the properties of the assets irrespective of view but users don't get to know that they need to add details until they open properties. After upload once asset gets processed and they see the thumbnail with no errors or alerts - they will start referencing in the pages. We want to put some alert mechanism so that users get to know of missing required metadata.

          @prathiksm : Thanks for providing the context. Maybe you can try a different approach instead of modifying OOTB behavior.

          A simple approach I can think of is to query all the DAM assets with missing title and description and then update them accordingly (manually or bulk update).

          You can run below query on this url: http://localhost:4502/libs/cq/search/content/querydebug.html

           

          path=/content/dam type=dam:Asset 1_group.p.or=true 1_group.1_property=jcr:content/metadata/dc:title 1_group.1_property.operation=not 1_group.2_property=jcr:content/metadata/dc:description 1_group.2_property.operation=not p.limit=-1

           

          Once you have the list of those assets, you can create those fields (this will give you all the assets which does not have title OR description property set).

          thanks.

            Hi All,

            Is there any way to default the DAM asset view to "Card View or List View" layout? 

            Any pointers on how to force the asset view to be in "Card/List" layout?

            Thank in Advance
