Most assets that you create or edit in the ATG Business Control Center must be added to a project so that they can be versioned and deployed. To see the assets that have been added to the current project, display the Project tab, as shown below:
When you create a new asset, for example a user segment, the asset is automatically added to the current project, and the label “NEW!” appears next to the asset in the Project tab. The new asset also appears in the Browse tab for this project. The asset will be published to the live site when the project is deployed. The asset is also added to the versioning system.
Adding or Changing Existing Assets
You can also add existing assets to a project. To do so, locate the asset in the Browse tab, check the box to select it, and then click the Add to Project icon. The asset then appears in the Project tab and will be published to the live site when the project is deployed.
You can make changes to an existing asset if necessary. To do so, highlight the asset in the Browse tab so that its details appear in the General and Rules tabs on the right. Make any changes you need, and click Save. The asset is automatically added to the project, and a new version of the asset will be added to the versioning system when the project is deployed.
Important: If you created an asset as part of another project, but the project has not yet been checked into the versioning system (which typically happens when the Deploy task is completed), the asset will not appear in the Browse tab for other projects. For more information, see the ATG Content Administration Guide for Business Users.
Removing Assets from a Project
To remove assets from a project, display the Project tab, select the asset to remove, and click the Revert Changes and Remove from Project icon, which is shown in the previous image. To select all assets for removal, click the checkbox in the icon bar.
When you remove an asset marked as new, the asset is simply deleted from the system. When you remove an asset that you changed as part of this project, the changes are discarded and the asset is removed from the project. The previous versions of the asset still exist in the system.
For information on how to delete existing assets from the system, refer to the ATG Content Administration Guide for Business Users.
