Updating Page Properties for Multiple Pages

  4 minute read  

You use the Page Property Updating tab of the Globalization Tool to update page properties for multiple pages that you highlight in the page list in the Globalization Tool, including multiple language copies of those pages.

Note: If the Connector is configured to translate and copy metadata fields, these are displayed in the right side of the tab. For information about this feature, refer to the Lionbridge Connector for Adobe Experience Manager Installation and Configuration Guide.

To update page properties for multiple pages:
  1. In the Globalization Tool, display and highlight the pages for which you want to update the page properties. For detailed instructions, see Performing Actions on Multiple Pages and Digital Assets.
  • To highlight a page, click in the corresponding row.

Note: Do not click the actual path in the Path column, because that is a link to the page.

  • To highlight multiple adjacent pages, press and hold the Shift key.
  • To highlight multiple non-adjacent pages, press and hold the Ctrl key.
  • To highlight all the pages in the list, click Highlight All.
  • To remove the highlight of all the pages in the list, click Remove Highlighted.
  • To update the numbers of selected pages, highlighted pages, and total pages at the top-left corner of the list, click Re-Count.
    1. The number after the check box displays the number of selected pages.
    2. The number after the highlight displays the number of highlighted pages.
    3. The number after the slash ( / ) displays the total number of pages.

For example:

Important: Ensure that you highlight the pages in the list, instead of selecting the check boxes.

  1. In the bottom of the Globalization Tool, click the Page Property Updating tab.

  1. In the Update Options dropdown list, select one of the following:
  • Highlighted Page: The Connector will update the page properties for the highlighted pages.
  • Language Page (of Highlighted): The Connector will update the page properties for highlighted pages in the languages selected in the Language section. All source and target languages defined for your team profile are displayed in this list.
  • Highlighted Page and Language Page: The Connector will update the page properties for the highlighted pages and in the languages selected in the Language section. All source and target languages defined for your team profile are displayed in this list.
  1. In the Language section, select the language copies of the highlighted pages that will have updated page properties. This is relevant only if Language Page (of Highlighted) or Highlighted Page and Language Page is selected in the Update Options dropdown list, as described in the previous step.
  • To select multiple adjacent languages, press and hold the Shift key.
  • To select multiple non-adjacent languages, press and hold the Ctrl key.
  • To select all languages, click All.
  • To clear all selected languages, click Clear.
  1. In the right side of the tab, you specify the page properties to update and their values. For a description of these page properties, refer to the Adobe Experience Manager documentation, available at: https://helpx.adobe.com/experience-manager/6-3/sites/authoring/using/editing-page-properties.html.
  • To remove a value from a page property, type [del] in the corresponding field.
  • To remove a page property, type [remove] in the corresponding field.
  • To clear all values, including those in the Language section, click Clear.
  • To display additional page-property fields, click More data for update. The page expands, displaying additional fields. Click this button again to collapse the page.
