When you upload files into CWRC you must have a place to put them. You need
subcollections or “folders” that will organize the files within a project (or “collection”).
Each subcollection is assigned a policy which determines which type of files are allowed to
be stored in them.
-
Navigate to your Research Space, you can do this from your dashboard
(under My Projects) or using the dropdown menu under the account icon in
the top right corner of CWRC.
-
Select the project you would like to add a new subcollection to.
You need to make sure the the collection you are creating a subcollection in
has one of the two content models that allow you to create new subcollections.
Islandora Collection Content Model - creates a
subcollection within a collection
Islandora Compound Object Content
Model - creates a shell object that allows users to group different
files by adding “Child Objects” to it. However, the object that populate this
folder must have been previously uploaded to CWRC.
For more information see
Content Models
-
To create a subcollection you need to choose to Add an object to this
Collection.
-
Select either “Islandora Collection Content Model” or “Islandora Compound
Object Content Model” from the Select a Content Model to Ingest drop down
menu.
-
Click on Next.
-
Enter a Collection PID or leave blank to use the default.
-
Choose your Inherit XACML policy. The options will be “None” or the
collection that you are adding the subcollection to. Click on Next.
The inherit eXtensible Access Control Markup Language (XACML) policy defines
who can access the subcollection. For example, who can edit or annotate a
document verses simple view it.
-
Fill out the MODS form.
The only required field is the title, the rest of the information can be
filled in later from the objects Manage page.
-
Click on Ingest.
You can now add objects to your new subcollection.
