Entering metadata for multiple objects with the Edit Info tool (batch processing)
Since version 5.1, metadata for several objects can be entered simultaneously in the workspace and search.
Select the desired objects by checking them and choose "Edit Info" from the context menu.
Accessing the mass processing of metadata in the workspace
A new mask is displayed. Here you can enter or change metadata for the selected objects.
For bulk editing, edu-sharing offers one or two options depending on the category of metadata:
- Replace: The existing metadata is replaced by the new metadata for all selected objects.
The old metadata is overwritten, but can be restored for each object using versioning.
To replace the metadata "Title" and "Description", the respective fields must first be enabled for editing with the corresponding button. - Append: The existing metadata is supplemented with the new metadata for all selected objects.
However, the previous metadata can be restored for each object using versioning.
