How can we improve Esploro?

← Esploro

Add job to batch edit and/or suppress file labels in File Viewer

Currently, the file label displays in the File Viewer above the file itself and appears as prominently as the title of the asset (same font and size). For the thousands of assets we migrated to Esploro, this file label is by default the file name, which references the ID number of the file in our previous repository and nothing else (e.g., no author, title, year). This is not at all helpful to our patrons and is frankly quite ugly. So I would recommend that you add a job to edit and/or suppress the file labels in batch. Right now we can edit the file labels individually, but it's not practical for us to edit thousands of them that way.

    Update: This functionality still does not exist. In theory, expanding the capacity of the existing CSV bulk update process (which was implemented after I submitted this idea) to encompass file-level metadata should suffice.

    Hi Shoshana.

    Would this allow us to batch edit all file information or just display title?

    For example, we would like to batch edit FILE_CONTENTTYPE.
