14<p>The Greenstone Depositor enables user to add new items into an existing collection through web interface. This section describes the Depositor Metadata pane, where you can specify which metadata fields should be used to describe the new items added through Depositor. Any metadata sets that have been associated with the current collection will be available for selection. If there is no other metadata set than the "Greenstone Extracted Metadata Set" associated to the collection, the "Dublin Core Metadata Set" will be used as default. To learn more about the Depositor, see the online tutorial exercise at http://wiki.greenstone.org/wiki/gsdoc/tutorial/en/depositor.htm. Under the "Format" tab, click "Depositor Metadata".</p>

16<p>The Depositor Metadata panel shows a checklist of available metadata fields. If there were more than one metadata sets associated with the collection, two adjacent metadata sets are displayed with different colors. Hover the mouse over a metadata element: a tool-tip displaying its description will appear.</p>
17
18<p>Check those you want to be used to describe new items when they are deposited through the Depositor. A drop-down list contains two components will appear right after the element. This allows you to specify the input container of the element in the web interface. "text" means that a single text input will be used, whereas "textarea" means that a multi-line text input will be used. Select an appropirate one for the field.</p>
19
20<p>At least one metadata element must be selected. If there is only one selected element in the list, de-select it will pop-up a warning message: "At least one metadata element should be selected.".</p>
