To use faceted browse, perform a search and then choose Display facets from the Actions drop-down menu. A pop-up window displays containing facet values for the current results list.

Download/Upload of Results Sets

...

• File must be plain text with a .csv extension. File name can be any alphanumeric string.
• File contents must follow format of the Download CSV file. A single CSV file can contain a maximum of 100,000 items.
• At minimum, a csv file must contain a column for DRS ID, owner supplied name, or URN.
• Column headings for included columns are required and must match DRS column headings (the easiest way to get the DRS column headings is to download a CSV of search results and copy the headings)

How to upload a csv file:

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.

NOTE: WebAdmin is not able to download the search results from an uploaded CSV.

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).
