If you have permission, you can export data about assets in the Acquia DAM in order to get a full picture of how those assets are being used. Exports can be in CSV, PDF, TXT, or XLSX formats, depending on the type of export, and can include up to 1.5 million rows of information about assets. When exports are under 10,000 rows, they'll be sorted by the date assets were added. A sort won't be applied when exports are over 10,000 rows.

Data within exports can be used as a guide for future creation of assets or shared with leadership.

Create exports from:

• The Admin app for orders, uploads, and users
• Advanced searches
• Insights app report
• Order pickup pages
• Quick Insights and asset insights
• Search results

 

 

After exports process, you'll be directed to the Exports page to download the export and open the file. Exports run in the background of your computer, and you can continue to work in the site until exports are ready for download.

 

 

Exports are available on the Exports page for up to two weeks from the date you create them. Access the Exports page from the Activity menu on the dashboard. The Exports listing will display in the menu only if you have exports to view and download.

Enable alerts or email notifications to receive notification when the export is ready. To review and sort data, download the export by clicking its name or the download arrow, then open the file.

You must be logged in to the DAM to view exports. If you're not logged in, you'll be required to log in to view and export details.
