Admin Tools

The Admin Tools menu item is a dropdown listing various functions. These functions are divided into groups separated by a horizontal line.

Group 1: Primary Actions

Documents

This link shows all the documents. (It is a duplicate link of the default home landing page.)

Imports

This tool enables users to upload CSV files of metadata records. See the Import records page for more details.

Bulk Actions

This link shows a list of batch edits a user has generated, such as setting the Publication State for a set of records. Bulk Actions cannot be created or edited from this page - it is currently only a list of previous actions. However, it may be useful to check on the status or history of an action.

Assets

This link directs to a page displaying uploaded objects. Click on the "Upload Assets" button to manually upload a dataset, thumbnail, or supplemental metadata file.

This tool is for Licensed Data records and used for attaching log-in links from multiple institutions. See the Secondary Tables section of the Import records page.

This tool enables users to upload CSV files for items with multiple downloads. See the Secondary Tables section of the Import records page.

Group 3: Blazer

This is a plugin dashboard for analyzing records.

Group 4: Schema and Form Administration

Elements

This feature provides a user interface for editing the metadata schema. Once edits have been made, the server will need to be restarted. (Contact our lead developer to make this change)

Form Elements

This interface allows the user to reorder and change the elements displaying in the form view.

Group 5: Users

Administrators can add or remove users with this page.
