How to do advanced search 'greater than' in 5.11 EE

Hi community, I'd like to find large web archives (WARC) in our 5.11 EE repository. e.g. all larger than 1 GB.Or sort all WARCs on file size.The reason for this is that we experiment with what to do with the metadata extracted from embedded objects from WARCs.Especially the larger WARCs currenty slow down our repository because all extracted metadata seems to be stored in a single (clob) database field.It this search/sort possible and does anyone know how to do it? Thanks,Remco van VeenendaalDigital Preservation Officer @ National Archives of the Netherlands

Can't Delete Folder

I’m trying to delete an empty folder I no longer need in my collection, but I keep getting the error message “Deletion request failed.” When I click into Home > Parent Folder, the folder I attempted to delete is no longer there, but I can still see/click/access it on the side menu. Is there a step I’m missing here?

Introduction to Preservica and ArchivesSpace IntegrationTutorial

IntroductionThe integration between Preservica and ArchivesSpace enables the reproduction of the metadata and structure from ArchivesSpace into Preservica.From an ArchivesSpace perspective, ArchivesSpace is the Controller and any changes in the Metadata or Structure are reflected in Preservica using the Synchronization process. Metadata editing and adjustments to the catalog structure continue to take place in ArchivesSpace.To create the connection between Preservica and ArchivesSpace a Link to Catalog workflow is run. The linking creates a Digital Object under an Archival Object in ArchivesSpace, the Digital Object can either be a Folder or an Asset in Preservica. The result is a structure in Preservica that has the Asset or Folder which is the Digital Object at the lowest level and Folders aboveAfter linking, Preservica References are placed into (i) the External Documents section in ArchivesSpace and (ii) links back to the Folder or Asset in Explorer and Universal Access are placed

Uploading Google Docs into Preservica

Our organization has recently adopted Google Drive for consistent storage. I can’t seem to upload Google Docs to Preservica. It would seem from browsing the community hub that Google Docs are not even documents! Does this mean I have to have a parallel storage of Microsoft Office to upload?

WARC generator suggestion

Community: I’m having issues using WARC files in Starter. I’ve tried the browser extension WARCreate and Conifer. Both don’t work properly in Starter. Could you please suggest a WARC generator? Thanks

Introduce yourself to the communityChat

Hi Community! I’m David, Starter Marketing Manager and part of the Community Hub team. It’s a pleasure to be here with you and have a chance to create this space for our global user community to connect, collaborate and share best practice and knowledge with each other. Feel free to introduce yourself here in the thread – you could share where you work, live, your role, and even how you are using Preservica at your organization. (Share your bigger Preservica story here). Why not add other interesting information about yourself or even a fun picture with your pet. This is the best way for all of us to get to know one another! I haven’t got any pets but my daughters keep me busy, so that’s the picture I’m sharing (hat strategically placed by my oldest ) I look forward to connecting with you all on the Community Hub!

_MACOSX and DS_STORE files in my repositoryF.A.Q.

If you see files in your Preservica Starter application called _MACOSX or DS_STORE and don't know where they came from then please read on. These are both files used by the MAC OS that commonly exist as hidden files in multiple folders in a Mac system. If you ingest a folder using a zip file then these files will be visible as there is no concept of hidden files in Preservica. Our advice would be to delete these files from Preservica as they do not contain useful information.

Sorting folders in Starter (staff interface)

It’s lovely to be able to sort ASSETS in Starter’s Staff interface, but I would like to be able to sort folders (especially by alpha). Anyone else find this to be a useful feature in a product update?
