Mass upload
This workflow plugin allows a mass upload of files with automatically assigned to the correct Goobi processes either on the basis of the file file names or on the basis of the analysed barcodes.
Overview
Introduction
This workflow plugin allows the mass upload of files that are to be automatically assigned to the correct processes by Goobi workflow. The plugin provides its own interface for this purpose, which either allows uploading directly via the web interface or, alternatively, can also read images from the user directory. These images are checked by the plugin for their name in order to determine the corresponding Goobi process. If the process can be identified unambiguously and the Goobi process identified is also in the configured workflow step, the images are assigned to this step and the workflow is processed further.
In addition to assigning the files based on the file name, it is also possible to configure an image analysis that reads barcodes instead. This makes it possible for images of several processes to be named consecutively, for example, and only a separator sheet needs to be included between the images. All images after such a separator sheet with an identifiable barcode are assigned to the respective process until the next barcode in the file stack is determined.
Installation
To install the plugin, the following two files must be installed:
To configure how the plugin should behave, various values can be adjusted in the configuration file. The configuration file is usually located here:
To use this plugin, the user must have the correct role authorisation.
Therefore, please assign the role Plugin_Goobi_Massupload
to the group.
Overview and functionality
If the plugin has been installed and configured correctly, it can be found under the 'Workflow' menu item.
At this point, files can either be uploaded or read from the user directory. After analysing the file names or images, Goobi workflow shows which processes the uploaded images can be assigned to.
Click on the Import files into processes
button to move the images to the directories of the recognised processes and continue the workflow.
Please note: If barcodes are to be recognised in order to determine the processes, it is important that the barcodes are also available in sufficient size and quality for the recognition to be successful.
Configuration
The plugin is configured in the file plugin_intranda_workflow_massupload.xml
as shown here:
