This dashboard plugin was developed to facilitate the use of a barcode scanner in the Goobi Workflow. On the right side is a form for various actions, such as accepting and completing tasks or tracking the location of objects.
In order to use the plugin, the following files must be installed:
/opt/digiverso/goobi/plugins/dashboard/plugin_intranda_dashboard_barcode.jar
/opt/digiverso/goobi/plugins/GUI/plugin_intranda_dashboard_barcode-GUI.jarTo configure how the plugin should behave, various values in the configuration file can be adjusted. The configuration file is usually located here:
/opt/digiverso/goobi/config/plugin_intranda_dashboard_barcode.xmlTo use this plugin, the user must select the intranda_dashboard_barcode value within the dashboard settings.
To use this dashboard plugin, you first need to activate it via Settings -> General -> Dashboard and then log in again. If the plugin is correctly installed and configured, it should already be activated under the Dashboard menu item.
On the right side, there is a form with various actions. You can select one by clicking on it. If the action Change Location Only is chosen, an additional input field will appear, expecting the name of the new location.
For all actions, there is a mandatory input field where the title of the Goobi process is expected. This field is automatically focused after loading to facilitate the use of a barcode scanner. By clicking the Execute button, the selected action will be performed, and messages regarding success will be displayed. The performed action and the input location are saved to facilitate further applications. They remain unchanged until a manual change is made.
Im Fall, dass Ortwechsel erfasst werden, sind diese auch zu einem späteren Zeitpunkt jederzeit innerhalb des Journals noch nachvollziehbar.
Der jeweils aktuelle Aufenthaltsort des Objektes wird darüber hinaus in einer eigenen Eigenschaft gespeichert.
The plugin is configured in the file plugin_intranda_dashboard_barcode.xml as shown here:
