Simple Instructions:
The Create view is used to create the collection by running Greenstone
collection-building scripts on the information you have provided. This is
generally straightforward: just click "Build Collection" at the bottom of the
screen. However, the building process can be customized. You can also use
this view to review details of previous attempts to build this collection,
whether successful or not.
The buttons for building and cancelling the building process are at the bottom.
Above appears a group of controls titled "Collection Import & Build Options".
To the left is a list of three items, and to the right is a pane that reflects
the currently chosen item in the list, as described in the following sections.
Clicking "Build Collection" initiates the collection building process. The time
this takes depends on the size of the collection and the number of indexes
being created (for huge collections it can be hours). To cancel the process at
any time, click "Cancel Build".
Once the collection has successfully built, clicking "Preview Collection" will launch a web browser showing the home page of the collection.
