Process creation through file upload
This is a Goobi workflow plugin for the upload of multiple files to allow an automatic process creation based on the the uploaded files. Files with similar names are used to create basic Goobi process
This workflow plugin allows a mass upload of files on the basis of which Goobi processes are automatically generated. The process template to be used as well as the publication type to be created can be defined via a configuration. Files that belong together are automatically assigned after the process has been created.

The configuration of the plugin is as follows:
Value | Description |
|---|---|
allowed-file-extensions | This parameter defines which files may be uploaded. This is a regular expression. |
processTemplateName | This parameter can be used to define which process template is to be used for the processes to be created. |
metadataDocumentType | Use this to specify which publication type is to be used within the METS file for the new processes to be created. |
namingSchema | Define a regular expression here that should apply to the naming scheme of the uploaded files. This is decisive for the creation of the processes and the association of the images to the processes. |
If the plugin has been installed and configured correctly, it can be found within the menu item
Workflow.
Opened plugin for the upload
Files can now be uploaded at this point. After analysing the file names, Goobi automatically creates the corresponding processes.
