Methods

There are three methods you can use to create Text objects in Batch Builder:

1. Manually create objects from template. This is best when you have only one or two Text objects to work with. In this scenario you generate in BB an object structure for each object and then copy files into it (done outside BB). See Section 10.2 for the procedure.
2. Automatically build objects from template. This method is best for large batches of objects (over 10 objects). In this scenario BB generates object structure for each of your objects and moves files into object directories. Before this can happen you need to rename your files to add special "object name" file prefixes or provide mapping files that associate files with their objects. See Section 10.3 for the procedure.
3. Manually create objects without using the template. In this method, rather than using the template, you fill out object and file metadata and create object directories for each individual object one-object-at-a-time. Because this option will be rarely used, it is not currently documented.
