Preserving original creation metadata

I’m new to Starter and have uploaded a collection of digitised images. I can’t see anywhere on the metadata for individual files that it has preserved the original creation date/creator. (Only the ingest and subsequent changes’ dates are listed.) Obviously this is less important for digitised copies of originals but this original creation metadata is very important with born-digital items. Is this metadata stored somewhere I am missing? Thanks.

Adding logo to Portal in Starter edition

How do you add a logo to the Portal in Starter (paid) edition? The pricing comparison online suggests this should be possible, but there is no option to save it on ‘Style my Portal’. Thanks

How to capture metadata for CSV file before ingest

Hi, I wondered whether anyone could advise on any programme which might be run to automatically populate a spreadsheet with the metadata associated with multiple files in a folder for ingest into Preservica? If this has to be manually added to the CSV metadata file, I can see this being hugely time-consuming and not really feasible for smaller institutions with limited staff time. I am concerned about how to retain the original creation date metadata on ingest. Thank you.

Bulk Edit Metadata not allowing multiple fields

Hi, I’m trying to bulk edit multiple fields on a number of new additions to my collection but don’t see the option to do so-- Only the Single Field bulk edit option is available. I can make some use of this but I would obviously prefer to be able to do more of these at once. Is this a bug, or is there a settting I have to configure to get the Multiple Field edit option back? Screenshot attached for reference. Thanks,Brad

How to move assets in bulk from search

I have a bunch of assets that are sitting in random folders form a bulk migration. I have found them using the search function and I need to move them all to a single folder. Is there any way that this can be done from the search results? When I highlight more then one and then right click, it says “Bulk actions” but it isn’t clickable and nothing is listed.Thanks!
