Digital Resource Form

Digital Resource Form

The information about files and folders for which digital resources have been created in the database includes: full size previews, extracted text, file properties, and custom metadata. This information is stored in special objects called “Digital Resources.”

Each digital resource has several fields used to store this data. For example, the file name is stored in a field called “file name.”

Form Information

The Digital Resource Form displays some commonly used digital resource fields. Some of the fields are automatically populated with information, either based on information that is automatically extracted from the corresponding files and folders or information that is inherited from a parent digital resource. Still other field values are set manually by the user(s). Information that is inherited from a parent is displayed in fields with blue border boxes while information that is not inherited is displayed in form fields with gray borders.
