ProficioID Identifier Template

For users of Proficio and Preservica Starter. Has anyone created a template to add the ProficioID identifier to the correct asset field in Preservica? The Proficio record number needs to be added as the Preservica identifier (not in DC, but in the main metadata section of the asset. I don’t know how to create a template to get the Proficio record number into the correct identifier field.

Trouble with uploading metadata

Hello,I am new to Preservica Starter and to archiving/Dublin Core… I am trying to upload a folder with files and attached metadata. I have followed the video and instructions and all seems to be going okay until right at the last moment when a message comes up that reads:There was a problem with your ingest packageThe CSV metadata file has been mapped successfully, but something went wrong whilst processing the package. Please try againPlease resubmit your packageI have tried everything from reducing the metadata to only one file and one catergory with data as ‘test’ - which worked, but as soon as I fill in anything else (even with no punctuation or anything) I get the same message. Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you so much!Janet

Tips and solutions

Guidance for using Bulk CSV Upload in NGIbulk upload

This article is applicable to the NGI Interface only and all Preservica editions. In the NGI interface under the Add menu (below) there is an option to upload a folder that contains content files and a single CSV file that contains metadata to be applied to that content. The use of this functionality is covered in this training video and here are some things to be aware of when using: The naming convention of the CSV file must match what is expected by the system: DC - Dublin_Core-template.csv MODS - MODS-template.csv When saving the CSV in your spreadsheet prior to uploading ensure it is saved in CSV UTF-8 formatThe folder/filename column in the CSV must contain the exact name, including extension, of the file it is associated withBulk CSV Upload will not work when attempting to upload to the Home folder, the user interface will ask you to continue the ingest as normal but clicking this will not complete the ingest. Instead just perform the upload into any sub-folder and then move t

Combining multiple WARCs from Archive-It

We recently started with Preservica 7.2.1, Professional Plus.We want to ingest website crawls created in Archive-IT. Each Archive-IT crawl produced multiple WARC files which we are able to harvest using the WASAPI tool. My question is: Has anyone recently successfully ingested multiple WARC files from a single Archive-IT Website crawl and integrated them so that Replay rendered them as a single viewable resource?I would love to get notes on your workflow!Thanks in advance-Elizabeth Altman

Session expired boots

Does anyone know why I am routinely getting kicked out as “session expired” after approx. an hour when I am in the middle of working. I have been renaming and captioning large image banks and it routinely happens when I am halfway through typing a sentence. It’s getting annoying!Is this because I am using a starter edition at the moment - I am intending to upgrade when I hit 5GB but don’t want to see this as an issue constantly when I want to work for more than an hour at a time.Thanks

closing unused sessions

Hi! My machine keeps telling me that I have more sessions open than the one that I am using. That is completely unnecessary and those other sessions should have timed out by now. How do I shut them? Thank you

Need Resources on cataloging in DC

I am using Starter and trying to understand how to populate fields in Dublin Core using correct syntax or formatting. I would like to find resources and training videos. But when I search everything is XML focused. I don’t want that and it is needlessly confusing. Does Preservica offer any training modules for DC? Thank you!

Email body not appearing

I was doing some test ingests of .pst file in preparation for ingesting one for a collection of emails that we want to preserve.Although it appeared to work first time when going to view the emails in Preservica the body of the email is missing: Missing email body If you download the asset, it comes the email had a .dat file attached to it which does contain the body of the email in a kind of html form.Has anyone else encountered this problem or am I just doing something wrong? Any help would be great, thanks.

Stuck in Preserving phase of ingest

Hi there - I am trying to upload four .jpg files to a folder in my Starter account, and they are all getting stuck at the preserving point. See below: Not sure what could be causing this? The other .jpgs I have uploaded in the past only took a few minutes to complete and show up in the folder. By the way, I’m a super newbie! Thank you!
