Bulk Edit Description Field

How can one bulk add, or edit, the Description Field in Preservica Starter? I have no problem editing the MODS metadata with a bulk upload, but the Description Field is not included in the MODS schema, and I have to go into each file and manually paste a description into the asset. There has to be a better way! Thank you.

File Report in Starter?

Pretty sure I know the answer to this already, but: is there some way to get a breakdown of files with file sizes in one’s Starter Plus instance? I can do this file-by-file by looking at preservation history, and I can sort of do it folder-by-folder by presenting assets as a list, but obviously neither solution is really practicable at scale. (Context: I am trying to see how much space a group of raw camera images is taking up.)  It would be extremely useful for space management purposes if there was something like this to assist with file appraisal.Thanks,Brad Houston, City Records OfficerMilwaukee Municipal Research Center

Best guide or video for manual entry in Preservica?

Hi all:I’m out in the weeds, a bit lost while wading through all of the videos and PDFs about Preservica available in a variety of places. I’m hoping someone can point me to a PDF or video that would be most useful to me.Essentially, I’m looking for a step-by-step guide that shows me how to manually add a document to Preservica—without having an XML upload to pair with it.The short story is: For the past five months, I’ve been a temp handling a lot of the prep and ingest for content (mostly PDFs and images) for an academic digital repository. However, the process I’ve been using relies upon Python (and maybe other language?) scripts that both (a) generate a giant XML document of all the content I’ve entered into an Excel spreadsheet and (b) split that content into individual XML files that I then convert into .metadata files and upload into Preservica, with their companion PDFs or JPGs. These scripts allowed us to ingest large quantities of content with all its metadata already filled

Sharepoint connector

Good evening and congrats with this good looking “community hub”.So I thought … let’s test this with a real question :-)We have started to orient us a bit in the vast topic of archiving from collaborative workspaces. It is complex for many reasons. My eye fell on the Perservica’s page related to “automated sharepoint archiving” and I wondered what the current state of play is. The page reveals some high level features but we are interested in more details of this process (both technical and functional wise). Is more information available ?I checked the latest user documentation and ctrl-f’ed it with “sharepoint” but could not find something (but I might have missed it of course); I also looked into the user portal forum and there are some posts. This one from 2020 is in particular interesting.Thanks for any feedback !Lieven

JPG vs. TIF

We are tossing around the idea of not uploading TIFF files (to save space in our Preservica instance) and depending on the JPG as our archival copy. If Preservica is doing the digital preservation work on the JPG, is there a need for TIFF still? I’d be curious to hear what you think.

Are my public files findable by search engines?

Hi! I wanted to find out whether content made public via Access Portal is discoverable by search engines. I would like to use the Portal for internal puposes only. Thank you.
