User guides

Introduction to the user guides section of the ResourceSpace Knowledge Base

Knowledge Base structure

Article to explain how the ResourceSpace Knowledge Base is structured to assist with finding content specific for the reader

Collections, public collections and featured collections

ResourceSpace allows resources to be tagged with various metadata, eliminating the need for a traditional hierarchical folder structure. This means that a resource can exist in multiple collections and can be found through metadata searches.

Metadata

ResourceSpace Digital Asset Management System uses embedded and user inserted metadata to describe and track your resources

Fixed list metadata

Article in the ResourceSpace Knowledge Base explaining Concepts about Fixed List Metadata.

Accounts & access

A ResourceSpace Knowledge Base article explaining user accounts and access within ResourceSpace for users.

Language options

ResourceSpace is a platform that supports multiple languages and allows users to change their language preferences. The platform can detect and suggest the default language based on the user's browser.

Uploading

Uploading files into ResourceSpace is a very simple process, however it is at this stage that you will be adding the metadata that ensures your resources can found and used effectively. It is key that you put as much relevant metadata into the resource fields as possible now to make your contributions as valuable as they can be.

Pending review and submission

ResourceSpace allows users to upload assets to the library with restricted permissions. Members of the General Users group first upload their assets in the 'Pending Submission' state, where they can check and verify the necessary metadata.

Exiftool

Exiftool is a third-party tool that allows for the extraction of embedded data within a file and automatically adds it to the resource metadata upon upload. Administrators can configure the fields where the extracted data is placed, allowing for the inclusion of any metadata stored within the file.

Advanced search

The advanced search page in ResourceSpace allows users to access a wider selection of metadata fields, enabling them to create more refined searches. The fields are grouped by resource type, with global fields at the top and resource-specific fields further down.

Featured & public collections

Featured Collections are a way to showcase the best and most in-demand content. They can contain a select number of resources and encourage users to browse content by directing them to relevant tags or ideas.

Searching in ResourceSpace

The ResourceSpace search feature is a powerful tool that allows users to quickly find the resources they need. Users can start with a broad search and then refine the results to find the most relevant content.

Resource tools

The article discusses the various resource tools available in the resource downloads area of the resource view page. These tools allow users to download, view, and request resource files, as well as perform actions such as adding to a collection or sharing.

Editing resource previews

Resource previews are an important aspect of ResourceSpace as they are the first contact users have with resources and help them decide which assets to use. If previews are missing, they should be remedied after upload.

Resource status & access

Resource status and access are important factors in controlling how users interact with resources in ResourceSpace. The status of a resource determines whether it can be found or edited by users, while the access controls which users can download the resource.

Sharing resources

Resources and Resource Collections each offer a 'Share' option which allows them to be shared with other users, as well as with non-users of the system, to allow greater flexibility of use.

Deleting resources

The article provides instructions on how to delete resources in ResourceSpace, a digital asset management system. There are two methods described: deleting resources individually and batch deleting resources.

Related resources

The article explains how resources can be related to each other in order to group similar or mutually relevant resources. There are three ways to relate resources: relating all resources in a collection, manually relating resources by editing each resource individually, and relating resources on upload.

Creating collections

The article explains how to create collections in ResourceSpace, a digital asset management system. Collections can be created in three ways: when uploading resources, from the collection bar, or from the "manage my collections" section.

Collection options

There is a list of options available to you from the collection actions dropdown menu. This menu is present in the collection bar and from the "Manage My Collections" page, as well as on the search page when viewing resources in a collection.

PDF contact sheet

The article explains how to create a PDF contact sheet for a collection in ResourceSpace. A contact sheet is a quick reference overview of what is in a collection, which can be printed or downloaded. To create a contact sheet, users need to choose the "Contact Sheet" option in the collection Actions list.

Special search terms

Special search terms help users to find content in a much more specific and controlled manner, either through giving them extra tools or using a prebuilt search.

Annotate

The article discusses the Annotate feature that allows users to add annotations to a resource and connect them to a part of the resource preview. The annotations could include names or features of note within an image.

Embed document

The article explains how to embed document resource previews on another website using a short HTML script. The process involves browsing to the resource with the configured resource type, selecting "Embed" next to the document resource, and copying the HTML code to paste into the other site's source.

Embed slideshow

This article provides instructions on how to generate HTML for embeddable collection slideshows on remote sites using a function. The process involves creating a dynamic collection, selecting 'Share' from the collection options, choosing the size, preview duration, and maximise option, and then generating the HTML.

Embed video

This article provides instructions on how to embed a video in an external site using an HTML script. The process involves browsing to the configured resource type, selecting "Embed" next to the video resource, and copying the HTML code to paste into the other site's source.

Flickr publishing

The Flickr publishing plugin allows users to publish selected resources from selected collections to a Flickr account. To use the plugin, users must create a featured collection or collection that contains resources they wish to publish.

License manager

Adds the capability to manage resource licensing via the resource view page.

News

The article provides instructions on how to add a news segment to a website's structure. This feature allows updates to be posted on the website, providing further advertising or information to users. The process involves browsing to the "Manage News Items" section in the admin panel, creating news items by providing a date, headline, and body content, and then editing or deleting them as needed.

PDF split

This article describes a tool that allows users to split PDF files into multiple pages. The tool can be used to create separate resources or alternatives to the original PDF resource. To use the tool, users must browse to a PDF resource and click on "PDF Split" in Resource Tools.

Propose changes

The article explains how users who cannot edit a resource can propose changes to its metadata to administrators. The administrators can then approve or reject these changes. To submit a change, the user must navigate to a resource page and click "Propose Changes" in Resource Tools.

Refine results

The article discusses the addition of a filter bar above search results to allow for further filtering within the result set. This feature allows users to type in more relevant keywords and extra information into the "further results" field to keep filtering results.

Video splice

The video splice plugin allows users to trim and merge videos within ResourceSpace to create new, separate files. The trim tool allows users to select portions of a video to be recreated as a new video file, which can then be added as a new resource or attached as an alternative to the original.

Creating dash tiles

Dash tiles are a great way of creating shortcuts to your favourite things in ResourceSpace.

Managing dash tiles

This article explains how to manage dash tiles in ResourceSpace. Dash Administrators can create tiles for all users or selected user groups, and reorder the tiles for those users who cannot manage their own dash.

Reports

ResourceSpace offers a reporting section that allows users to access information about downloads, uploads, and views. The reporting section provides a detailed table structure that can be downloaded as a CSV file for spreadsheet software or viewed directly in the browser.

Useful user permissions

The article provides an overview of user group permissions and how they affect user actions when accessing and interacting with resources. The permissions are divided into different categories, including searching/access, metadata fields, resource types, resource creation/management, collections, and administration.

User resource requests

ResourceSpace allows users to request access to restricted resources. The request mode setting on the user group determines what happens with the request. If the request mode is set to email only, an email is sent to the administration notification address containing the request details.

User research requests

Research requests enable users to ask admins for help in sourcing resources. Users can fill out a form detailing what they need, and administrators can then help them to find suitable resources. This can be done by either providing them with a list of resources or by sending them links to searches or collections to help them get their search started.

Homepage slideshow

ResourceSpace, a digital asset management software, has highlighted the importance of updating the homepage slideshow regularly to keep users engaged and the system looking appealing. The "big slideshow" provides a full-screen background image or slideshow for the homepage, while the "small slideshow" moves the slideshow window to the upper left side of the screen, leaving white space on the homepage for displaying dash tiles.

User contributions

ResourceSpace allows for user contributions to be managed through user group upload permissions. Trusted uploaders, such as administrators, can add resources without review, while new users must upload their resources in a pending state for review by resource administrators.

Archives

Archiving is a way of keeping useful or popular resources within a system, but removing them from the main body of resources to encourage users to look at new material. This is particularly useful if resources have been used extensively for a project or campaign and need to be rested, or where an updated version has been made available but the original should be retained.

Batch replace

ResourceSpace has a batch replace functionality that allows users to update multiple resources at once. This feature is useful for replacing original files and regenerating previews of any number of resources.

Deleted resources

The article provides information on how to manage deleted resources in a system. The directory for deleted resources can be found in the Admin section of the system, and it contains all the deleted resources.

Resource types

Resource types are a key way to organise metadata in ResourceSpace, allowing users to record different metadata for different types of assets. Resource types can be created as needed, and separating resources into types allows users to apply certain media-specific fields only where they will be useful, saving time and effort.

Creating a resource type

This article provides instructions on how to create a new resource type in MODX. To create a new resource type, users need to browse to "Admin > System > Resource types", enter the name of the new resource type, click "Create", fill in the rest of the form as required, and click "Save".

Creating and deleting metadata fields

The article provides guidance on creating and deleting metadata fields in ResourceSpace. Metadata fields should be clear and descriptive, and the right data should be stored in the right field type to achieve this.

Modifying field options

The article explains how to modify field options in fixed list metadata fields in ResourceSpace. Users can add, remove or edit options by editing the field and selecting the "manage options" link. To add a new option, users can enter the name of the tag and click "Add".

Ordering metadata fields

Metadata fields can be ordered to determine where they appear on search, edit and upload pages. Global fields are placed first, followed by resource type-specific fields in a collapsible section below.

Advanced metadata field configuration

This page covers the advanced options for metadata field configuration including display templates, smart featured collections, display conditions, autocomplete options and additional settings for ExifTool and IPTC metadata.

Indexing metadata

ResourceSpace has announced that from version 10.1, indexing of text fields will be limited to the first 500 characters of text. This change is being made to enable ResourceSpace to quickly search resource metadata, rather than the full file contents.

Related keywords

The article explains how to manage related keywords in a website's admin panel. This feature allows creating relationships between search terms so that a search for one will also return resources that have the other keyword present in their metadata.

Smart featured collections

Smart featured collections are an automated way of collating resources with a common theme.

Edit & upload tabs

This article provides guidance on how to set up and manage tabs in ResourceSpace, a digital asset management system. Tabs can be used to group related metadata fields together, making it easier for users to navigate and edit metadata.

Creating user groups

This article provides information on how to create user groups in ResourceSpace. The default user groups in ResourceSpace are Administrators, Archivist, General users, Restricted user, and Super Admin.

Creating users

This article provides a step-by-step guide on how to create a user account in a system. It explains that user accounts require user groups to be created first, as user permissions and configuration settings are managed in the groups.

User account requests

ResourceSpace offers the option for users to request accounts, which can be enabled or disabled in the system config file. There are four ways in which account requests can work, depending on how the installation is configured.

Useful user tools

ResourceSpace provides several user management tools to help with the user configuration process. The first tool is resetting passwords, which can be done by browsing to Admin > Users, editing the user, entering a password into the password field or clicking "Suggest" to generate one, and clicking Save.

Advanced user group options

The article explains the advanced user group options available in ResourceSpace. These options are hidden by default to make the user group page easier to use, but they can be accessed by clicking on the "Advanced options" header above the save button.

Search filters

Each user group can have a 'search filter' set (via the user group options in System Setup), which allows for resource visibility restrictions.

Edit filters

Edit filters are used to determine if users in a group can edit resources based on the metadata in the resource. The existing 'e0' (or e1, e2 etc.) permissions must be used first to open up edit access.

Derestrict filters

The article discusses the use of derestrict filters in ResourceSpace, which allows users to access resources that would normally be restricted to them. This feature is useful when some users need to access only a few resources within the system while being completely restricted from all others.

Writing your own plugins

A plugin in ResourceSpace is a collection of PHP code, language files, graphics, CSS files and other related files that are structured to conform to the ResourceSpace plugin architecture. For deployment, the files that constitute a plugin are packaged together into a self-contained file called a ResourceSpace Plugin (.

ResourceSpace messages

ResourceSpace uses messages to ensure that notifications are prominently displayed so that important messages are not overlooked. A counter next to the user's profile will increase to indicate the activity as new messages are received.

Emails

ResourceSpace uses emails to notify users of relevant activity such as resource submissions, user account requests, or resource download requests. However, most email notifications have been replaced by system messages, but users can still opt to receive emails by modifying their user preferences.

Configuring email and messaging

This article provides guidance on how to configure email and messaging settings in ResourceSpace. To change the email address that system emails are sent from, users should navigate to Admin > System > System configuration and change the 'Email from address'.

All user permissions

ResourceSpace is a digital asset management system that allows users to control which resources other users can see and how they can interact with them. The system offers a range of permission options, including search, metadata fields, resource types, resource creation, featured collections, restrictive permissions, and administration.

Manage image sizes

ResourceSpace allows users to upload files in their original form, but also creates derivative files in other resolutions that are stored alongside the resource. The default sizes of these derivative files are appropriate for most uses, but users may require a specific size to be available.

Logs

ResourceSpace has a log that records the actions of each user, which is accessible in the Users section of the Admin area. The logs record the date and time of user logins, resources they have created, deleted and downloaded, and edits they have made to resources, showing both the previous and new values.

Offline job queues
