Introduction
This import plugin allows data to be imported without a previous catalogue query. It inserts data into the user interface that has previously been copied from an Excel file and where the columns are separated from each other using TAB.
Installation
To be able to use the plugin, the following files must be installed:
/opt/digiverso/goobi/plugins/import/plugin-import-eth-no-catalogue-base.jar
/opt/digiverso/goobi/config/plugin_intranda_import_eth_no_catalogue.xmlOnce the plugin has been installed, it can be accessed from the overview of production templates by using the second blue button next to the selected production template.
At this point, you can choose between two different areas of the plugin. You can choose whether you want to work with library objects (plugin_import_eth_no_catalogue) or archival objects (plugin_import_eth_archival_objects).
Once the desired plugin has been entered, a user interface is available in which the data to be imported can be selected or uploaded.
