Table of Contents

...

Web Admin enforces owner code restrictions on viewing content in DRS. Your search results will be limited to content under your owner code.

Quick Search by DRS ID, URN, or OSN

Use quick search to retrieve batches, files or objects by DRS ID, DRS object URN, DRS delivery URN, or owner supplied name. These identifiers are available in your DRS2 batch deposit report. 

...

  • Mis-match between ID and "Search for" selection. If you accidentally specify "file" when quick searching for an object's DRS ID, you will retrieve all files associated with that object.
  • Quick search query matching is loose. Quick search results will include identifiers that match or contain the query term. In most cases, if you search a complete identifier you will retrieve a single result, but if you search for a value that happens to be contained within another identifier, you may retrieve multiple hits.

Advanced Search

Use an advanced search when you need to search a specific metadata field or need to compose a more complex search that includes multiple terms combined with boolean operators.

...

Example: Find batches by load date:



Example: Find objects by content model (CMID-4.0 is a PDS object):



Example:
 Find files by owner code, format and content model of object:



Example:
 Find objects by MODS metadata, using grouping and Boolean operators:

Faceted Browse

Faceted browse displays the administrative metadata values (facets) available in your current results set and lets you progressively refine the set based on these facets. Facets provide a quick way to see the administrative characteristics of your result set and can help narrow a list of objects or files in preparation for bulk processing.

Download/Upload of Results Sets

Use the Download search results option to save metadata in your result set for use outside of Web Admin. You might download a CSV file for easier review of metadata in a tool like Excel.

...

  1. Click the CSV File Upload button. A pop-up window will display.
  2. Under Load, select the content type (objects, files, batches, or events).
  3. Under Using, select the identifier by which the content will be retrieved. Accept the default DRS IDs option if your csv file includes DRS IDs, otherwise select OSNs or URNs as appropriate.
  4. Click the Upload button and the uploaded results will be inserted into the results table.

Bulk Processing

Web Admin supports bulk processing – the ability to make changes to a group of objects or files and the associated metadata. In this release, you can perform bulk download and bulk deletion/recovery of content in search results, as well as limited bulk metadata editing (file access flags and object DRS Billing Codes).
