The dependant assets

When you create an Asset Listing page, a number of Bodycopy assets are automatically created beneath it, as shown in the figure to the right. These assets allow you to format the layout of the Asset Listing page.

Default Format Bodycopy

The Default Format Bodycopy asset is used to define what information to display for each asset in the list. This can be done through keyword replacements and metadata fields. For example, for the Asset Listing shown in the figure below, a link to the asset along with the information that has been added in the metadata field called description is being shown for each asset in the list. This has been defined in the Default Format Bodycopy.

An example Asset Listing

To change what information is being shown, right click on the Default Format Bodycopy in the Asset Map and select Edit Contents. Click on the icon – the WYSIWYG Editor will appear where you can use keyword replacements and formatting to layout the information to show in the list. By default, the Asset Name Linked keyword replacement will appear in the WYSIWYG Editor.

Keyword Replacements on the Default Format Bodycopy

A list of keyword replacements is provided in the WYSIWYG Editor toolbar on the Edit Contents screen of the Default Format Bodycopy. You can use these keyword replacements in conjunction with text, images and links etc to layout what to show for each asset in the list. For a full list of keyword replacements, refer to the Keyword Replacements manual. The additional keyword replacements that are available include the following:

• Asset Lineage: this will show the path of where the asset exists in the system.
• Asset Lineage Linked: this will show the path of where the asset exists in the system. Each asset in the path is hyperlinked.

• Asset Position: this will show the position of the asset in the list.
• Asset's position is odd or even: this will show whether the asset is in a position number that is odd or even. For example, if it is in position one it will be odd. If it is in position two, it will be even.
• Root Nodes (separated by commas): this will show the asset ID of the Root Node the asset is located in.
• Asset Contents (excluding paint layout): this will show the content of the asset but will not include any Paint Layouts that have been applied to the asset.

• The short name of the page (often used in menus): this will show the short name of the asset.
• Asset Contents (user-defined paint layout): this will show the content of the asset and include the User-Defined Paint Layout that has been specified in the keyword replacement. For example, if you have User-Defined Paint Layout called Australia, to use this layout enter the keyword replacement . Alternatively, the asset ID can be used in this keyword replacement instead of the asset name.

Along with the standard list of keyword replacements you can also use the metadata keyword replacement to display a metadata field for an asset on the Default Format Bodycopy. For more information on this, refer to the Metadata chapter in the Keyword Replacements manual.
