Resources and structure

Article to explain the concept of Resources and how they are structured with ResourceSpace Digital Asset Manager

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

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.

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.

Simple search

The article discusses the simple search panel in ResourceSpace, a system that allows for easy searching within the platform. The basic panel includes a general search box for quick text searching across all indexed fields, as well as options to search by resource type and date.

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.

Alternative files

Alternative files are a feature in ResourceSpace that allows users to store multiple versions of a resource together with a single set of metadata. This is useful when there are different variations of a resource that need to be easily accessible from a single point.

Editing resources

The article discusses the importance of adding and maintaining metadata for uploaded resources. It emphasizes the need to monitor and update metadata to ensure that resources are easily found and useful.

Editing multiple resources

The article explains how to edit multiple resources in ResourceSpace using batch editing. Batch editing allows users to apply the same change to multiple resources at once, ensuring continuity. To perform a batch edit, users need to add the selected resources to a collection and then choose "Edit all resources" from the collection actions list.

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.

Deleting collections

This article explains how to delete collections in a simple and straightforward manner. Users are unable to delete their default "My Collection", but any other collection can be deleted by going to the "Manage My Collections Page", clicking "Delete" against the collection to be deleted, and confirming the deletion.

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.

Editing a collection

This article explains how to edit a collection in a resource management system. The edit screen provides several options, including customising the name of the collection, adding a description, and attaching tags to help find the collection of resources.

Creating featured collections

This article explains how to create a featured collection in ResourceSpace, which is a collection of resources that is highlighted on the platform's homepage. The process is similar to creating a public collection, but with an additional step to turn it into a featured 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.

Keyboard controls

ResourceSpace offers keyboard controls to help advanced users speed up their use of the platform. These controls can be customised system-wide but are not currently available for per-user customisation.

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

ResourceSpace file storage (filestore)

ResourceSpace stores resource files in obfuscated folder paths on the server and not in the database. The folders are not meaningful to an administrator browsing the folders on the server because they are derived from the unique resource ID and are not related in any way to metadata or collections that the resources belong to.

Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF)

Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) is an attack that forces an authenticated user to execute unwanted actions on a web application. The attack targets state-changing requests, not data theft, as the attacker has no way to see the response to the forged request.

Custom fields ("user" defined)

ResourceSpace, a digital asset management system, allows users to configure custom fields. These fields can be used to add additional metadata to assets, such as images or documents, and can be used to filter and search for specific assets.
