The content summary and content age report gives a quick overview of the amount and age of content within your intranet, site or selected content.
The report will show the total number of pages and news items and then the percentage of those that fit into the different "age" categories. These categories are pages that have been updated in the last 3 months, those where it is between 3 to 6 months ago, those between 6-12 months and then all those pages that have last been modified over a year ago.
We identify the number of pages, news items and files directly from the SharePoint API, giving us the count of items, and the age component is taken from the date the item was last modified.
Content Age applies to all pages and news items. We calculate the amount of time since the page was last modified.
Note: Files (typically images) that are stored in the standard "Site Asset" folder in SharePoint, are excluded from the Files report as they are most often decorative images. This is why the total number of files may not match the number displayed at the bottom of the Files report.
Why is this important?
If content starts to age, the trust and confidence users have in the content diminishes regardless of whether it meets the policy requirements of whether it is current. It's about the likelihood it could be out of date and the perception of how reliable that page is. This is the reason we use the fixed age categories and feed these into the quality score.
