Note |
---|
XML Form Builder forms are not used when batch ingesting via the ZIP importer. Importer looks for metadata XML files and runs XSLTs as required. The module currently supports metadata in MODS, MARCXML, Dublin Core, and Darwin Core formats. To batch import metadata records using other schemas you can do so using the Islandora Batch module, which will allow the creation of any datastreams you like. However, this module does not yet have a user interface within Islandora and must be accessed via Drush on the command line. Instructions are in the README. |
Configuration
Select whether or not to 'Use filename as Datastream label' in Administration » Islandora » Zip Importer (admin/islandora/zipimporter).
