| 13 | This section describes how to view all metadata assigned to an entire collection.
|
|---|
| 14 |
|
|---|
| 15 |
|
|---|
| 16 | Sometimes you need to see the metadata assigned to many or all files at once -- for instance,
|
|---|
| 17 | to determine how many files are left to work on, or to get some idea of the
|
|---|
| 18 | spread of dates.
|
|---|
| 19 | <p></p>
|
|---|
| 20 | Select the files you wish to examine, then right-click and choose "Assigned Metadata...". A window called
|
|---|
| 21 | "All Metadata", dominated by a large table with many columns, appears. The
|
|---|
| 22 | first column shows file names; the rows show all metadata values assigned to
|
|---|
| 23 | those files.
|
|---|
| 24 | <p></p>
|
|---|
| 25 | Drawing the table can take some time if many files are selected. You can continue to use the Librarian
|
|---|
| 26 | Interface while the "All Metadata" window is open.
|
|---|
| 27 | <p></p>
|
|---|
| 28 |
|
|---|
| 29 | When it gets too large, you can filter the "All Metadata" table by applying
|
|---|
| 30 | filters to the columns. As new filters are added, only those rows that match
|
|---|
| 31 | them remain visible. To set, modify or clear a filter, click on the "funnel"
|
|---|
| 32 | icon at the top of a column. You are prompted for information about the filter.
|
|---|
| 33 | Once a filter is set, the column header changes colour.
|
|---|
| 34 | <p></p>
|
|---|
| 35 | The prompt has a "Simple" and an "Advanced" tab. The Simple version filters
|
|---|
| 36 | columns so that they only show rows that contain a certain metadata value ("*"
|
|---|
| 37 | matches all values). You can select metadata values from the pull-down list.
|
|---|
| 38 | The Advanced version allows different matching operations: must start with,
|
|---|
| 39 | does not contain, alphabetically less than and is equal to. The value to be
|
|---|
| 40 | matched can be edited to be any string (including "*"), and you can choose
|
|---|
| 41 | whether the matching should be case insensitive. Finally, you can specify a
|
|---|
| 42 | second matching condition that you can use to specify a range of values (by
|
|---|
| 43 | selecting AND) or alternative values (by selecting OR). Below this area is a
|
|---|
| 44 | box that allows you to change the sort order (ascending or descending). Once
|
|---|
| 45 | you have finished, click "Set Filter" to apply the new filter to the column.
|
|---|
| 46 | Click "Clear Filter" to remove a current filter. Note that the filter details
|
|---|
| 47 | are retained even when the filter is cleared.
|
|---|
| 48 | <p></p>
|
|---|
| 49 | For example, to sort the "All Metadata" table, choose a column, select the
|
|---|
| 50 | default filter setting (a Simple filter on "*"), and choose ascending or
|
|---|
| 51 | descending ordering.
