What Are Operations?

Operations provide a way to generate exports and reports that summarize the contents of an item bank. These exports are especially useful for managing content at scale, auditing metadata, monitoring alignment, or transferring items between systems.

Operations are initiated from one or more item banks and can be downloaded once complete. Each operation type generates a different report or export file depending on your content management needs.

Operation Types

The following operation types are available from the +Operation menu:
