Listing managed file details

You can see all of the managed directories and managed files that are available to use in your store, and you can view the details for each.

Procedure

  1. Open the Assets tool.
  2. From the explorer view filter, select Files to list the managed directories and select the directory for which you want to view details. You can also view details for the managed files that are contained within the selected directory.
    OptionDescription
    Managed directories To view the contents of a managed directory, select the directory to display the list of managed files that it contains in the Files - List view.
    Managed files To view information for a managed file, from the Files - List view, double-click the managed file.
  3. The Properties tab displays the following information:

    Object Properties section:

    PropertyDescription
    Associated store This read-only field displays the name of the store that you are currently working in.
    Manage File section:
    PropertyDescription
    File Browse for the file that you want to upload.
    Name The name of the selected file on the server.
    Size The size of the selected file. A size of 0 indicates that the file is not managed.
    Path The path of the selected file. You cannot change the path of an existing file.
    The References tab displays the business objects that the selected file is associated with. All fields within the References tab are read-only.
    OptionDescription
    Attachments Lists the attachments that this managed file is associated with.
    Sales Catalogs Lists the sales catalog objects that this managed file is associated with.
    Categories Lists the category objects that this managed file is associated with.
    Catalog Entries Lists the products, kits, bundles, and SKUs that this managed file is associated with.
    Marketing Content Lists the marketing content that this managed file is associated with.
    Note: In the Catalogs and Marketing tools, a managed file can be directly associated with sales catalogs, categories, catalog entries, or marketing content. In the Assets tool, the user can view the sales catalogs, categories, catalog entries, and marketing content with which a file is associated. However, WebSphere Commerce requires that a managed file can only be directly referenced by an attachment. Sales catalogs, categories, catalog entries, and marketing content internally reference an attachment, which in turn references a managed file. If a file has too many attachments to list, then all the other indirect lists (sales catalogs, categories, catalog entries, and marketing content) display the same message that indicates that there are too many objects to list, instead of displaying these indirect references.
