64How to view the 'Create' viewOnly two tabs remained unexplored in the main control pane. The 'Create' view is used to create the collection by running the various Greenstone collection building scripts on the data you have collected and otherwise created. This is generally as straight-forward as clicking the [B]uild Collection button at the bottom of the screen. However, the Librarian Interface provides graphical access to Greenstone features, and here it is possible to customize the build process via arguments passed to Greenstone's PERL scripts. Moreover, this view is used to review details of previous attempts to build this collection, successful or otherwise.Apart from a brief status area stating the number of files in the collection and two buttons for building or canceling the building process, the bulk of this view is taken up by a group of controls titled 'Collection Import & Build Options'. This contains a contents tree located to the left of the group, and a sub-view pane which reflects the currently chosen item in the tree.First look at the buttons at the bottom of the view. Clicking [B]uild Collection initiates the collection building process. The time this takes depends on the size of your collection and the number of indexes being created (for huge collections it can he hours). To cancel the building process at any time, click on the [C]ancel Build button. Cancelling the build does not damage the collection in any way other than ensuring that the remove_old flag is set within the import settings.
