"Secrets of the Submission Form", Presented by Bram Luyten, @mire
Learn how your DSpace repository submissions can be easier for you and your content contributors. By modifying your submission configuration you can use these not-so-obvious hints to improve the quality of information in your repository as well as minimizing the time it takes to complete a submission. Topics to include:
- Collection templates: pre-filling certain metadata fields on a per collection basis.
- Reviewer only fields: option to qualify fields in input forms to have them only visible for reviewers in the workflow
- Type based submission: inclusion of certain metadata fields in the form, based on a selected submission type
- Modifying your lists of dropdown values (the lists that are included at the bottom of input-forms.xml)
- Working with hierarchical controlled vocabularies (the XML based subject categories)
- Enabling LC Name authority control for author values
- Collection based Input forms: duplicating an input-forms configuration & showing the match between an input-forms config and a collection
- Simple embargo & private item state
