The Quick Upload can be accessed from any module thanks to its positioning in the user interface header.
The only operation that can be performed using the Quick Upload is to upload and import “files” into the Files module.
A click on the “Quick Upload” icon will open the local file selection window of your Windows PC or Mac.
Select the files using your computer’s file manager.
Once you have confirmed your selection, either the file upload will start, assuming that a “Role-Based Upload Folder and Upload Handling” has been set for you, or you can select an upload folder before the upload.
If the selection window for choosing an upload folder opens, you can select an upload folder by clicking on the relevant checkbox. Then click on the “Add selection” button to start the upload.
The system will now perform the upload and import operation in the background.
At the bottom right, in the footer of the user interface, you will see a status display showing the progress of the upload and import operation.
Using the Import Manager, you can intervene in the ongoing upload and import operation. To do so, click on the status display at the bottom right in the footer during the course of the operation.
If “Import Tagging” is active for the upload folder, you will be requested to tag the relevant metadata fields during the course of the operation.
Example: Import Tagging
If the upload folder already contains files with identical file names, you will be offered several options on how to proceed with the import involving existing files.
Example: Selection options in case of existing files
The system will display a notification once the upload and import operation has been completed successfully.
If necessary, click on the “Search” button to refresh the main view.
Note:Depending on the data volume, the import will continue to be performed as a background operation. It may take a while for the generation of previews and/or metadata to be completed in full. To check progress, refresh the main view once again.
