AEM6.5 scheduled activation status icon is not shown

Question

I've seen that in earlier versions of AEM, when we schedule a page to get activated at a later time, a small calendar icon is showing up under the status column. When we hover over this icon, it displays the scheduled date and time.

But, I can't see that scheduled activation calendar icon anymore. I can only see the workflow icon under the status column.

Is there a way how I can display the scheduled activation status icon in AEM 6.5?

Many thanks in advance for all your help.

Answer 1

This should still be visible by default in AEM 6.5 so you may not need any custom implementation. If it isn't working, maybe there's a bug or there's an existing customization that's preventing those icons from working.

In the list view

In the column that displays the publication status, there's a faint calendar icon. It's quite low-contrast though. Hovering over it will reveal the scheduled publication date.

In the card view

You should be able to see the time of scheduled activation in the page preview on the right hand side.

How you could change or add icons

If you still want to add an icon, you should be able to achieve this via overlaying parts of the sites console. You'd have to find the right scripts under /libs and create an overlay under /apps

This is also where you'd look if any icons available OOTB are missing.
