The Details screen allows you to change the status of the asset, change its name, and set a related image.

Depending on the asset type you are editing, this screen might have various additional options available to it. This page describes the generic functionality found on the Details screen of all asset types.

The Details screen for a Standard Page is shown in the example below.

Status

The Safe Edit Status

  • Current: This is current Status of the asset. The background colour will change depending on what Status the asset is in.

  • Change: To change the Status, select a status option from the list. The options available will depend on the current Status of the asset, what permissions you have, and whether or not Workflow is applied.

    For example, if the asset is currently Under Construction and you have Admin Permission, the available options would be Approve, Make Live, and Archive. If there is Workflow applied to the asset then the available options might only be Apply for Approval and Archive.
  • View Future Status: This button will open the Future Status settings, allowing you to schedule a Status change for the asset at a specified future date and time. For more information, refer to the Future Status section below.
  • Cascade Status Change: Check this box to cascade the Status change to all child assets.

    Depending on the number of child assets, this might take a long time to process.

For more information on the Statuses available within Squiz Matrix, refer to the Squiz Matrix Concepts chapter in the Concepts manual.

This section allows you to change the name and short name of the asset.
