Awesome Web Uploading!
Uploading files and adding detailed metadata in the Asset Management System is incredibly easy. It is key that you complete the available metadata fields with as much relevant metadata as possible so that your assets are searchable.
To get started, in the top navigation bar just click on upload. Please note that some upload screens may be sequenced differently than the one referenced below.
Uploading
It is important to consider the available Upload Options before proceeding.
1. Resource Type - From this drop down menu, select the type of resource you're uploading.
2. Embedded Metadata - The Asset Management System defaults to extract metadata that has already been embedded into files. If you do not want to use embedded metadata and you want to overwrite with your own metadata on the upload form, you should check the Do not extract button.
3. Copy the data from resource with ID - If you have an existing resource with metadata you wish to mirror, you may enter its ID number here to populate the upload form.
Adding Metadata to Uploads
Before uploading files you should add metadata and select the appropriate options to describe your resources. Filling in as many fields as possible will help make your resources more searchable. It is possible that many of the fields have been completed through a desktop application prior to upload, in which case the fields on this page may be left blank. Please refer to the 'Embedded Metadata' option above.
Some fields may be required and will be denoted by an asterisk. There may be help text or tool tips available on some fields as well.
Adding an Upload to a Collection
By default, new files are not added into any collection. You may choose to upload directly into an existing collection by selecting that collection from the drop down. Or you can create a new collection by entering in a collection name.
Uploading Files
Once you have arrived at the upload screen, your files are ready for upload.
1. Drag files onto the upload box or browse for them using the Add Files button.
2. When you have selected your relevant resources, click Start Upload.
3. When the upload is complete, the list will empty.
You can confirm your resources have been uploaded successfully by navigating to Recently added in the top navigation bar.
