Managing Baskets

To enable users to get the most out of MediaStore, there are extensive basket management features. These features make it possible for users to manage multiple projects and collaborate with other MediaStore users.

You can visit your basket management section of MediaStore by clicking either the ‘My Basket’ tab or by clicking the ‘My Basket’ lozenge within the master image library preview page.

*NOTE – New Basket is the default setting for all new baskets. If you have created a new basket with a different name, this is the name of the basket that will appear in the lozenge within the master preview library.

Creating Baskets

New Basket is the basket name given as a default. This can remain as the basket name but it is advised that you change the name of the basket for ease of reference.

To change the name of any current basket open, or to create a new named basket, use the ‘Save Basket As’ feature when in the Basket Manager Screen. Simply enter the title of the basket as you wish to name it and click ‘Save’.

Navigating Baskets

Once you have saved you basket, you will now be able to view it in the drop down list titled’Open Basket’. Simply choose the basket that you wish to open by clicking it in the list. You will now see that the title of the basket you have opened is present at the top of the screen.

Sending Baskets

MediaStore has a ‘Send Basket’ feature that allows registered users to send baskets to one another to enable project collaboration.

To send a current basket to another user, simply click ‘Send Basket’. You will now be presented with two forms. The top form contains a list of the registered users on your MediaStore. Simply locate the user you wish to send the basket to in this list. Once highlighted, enter text into the box below. This will be a message to the other user as to why you wish them to view the basket contents.

Simply click ‘Send’ to inform the user that you have sent them a basket.

Opening Received Baskets

Should you receive notification that a basket has been sent to you from another user, it will be shown in the drop down list called ‘Open Basket’.

The basket that you have been sent will be titled:

“From John Smith: BVPP”

Deleting Baskets

NOTE: Once deleted, baskets cannot be retrieved.

NOTE: New Basket, as the default basket, cannot be deleted.

To delete a basket, firstly ensure the correct basket is currently open. If not, choose the correct basket using the ‘Open Basket’ feature.

When the correct basket has been selected, simply click on ‘Delete Basket’ from the list of options on the right hand side of the screen. Click ‘Delete’ where you will be asked to confirm your action.

Should you wish to delete the contents of ‘New Basket’, please select all the assets for deletion and use the ‘Save Changes’ option, as described in the next section.

Managing Basket Contents - Deleting Assets

You may also choose to delete either individual or all the items from your current basket without deleting the basket entirely.

To remove a single or a combination of assets from a basket, click the box called ‘Select for removal’. When you have chosen all assets for deletion, click the button called ‘Save Changes’. This will remove all the assets that have been selected in the current basket.

Managing Basket Contents - Creating Personal Information

Next to each asset in your basket, you will see a text box. This box is for personal comments to serve as a reminder as to why you selected the asset. For example, you may wish to say ‘I need this for page 4’.

Once you have entered the text in the box(es) that you wish to use, simply click ‘Save Changes’. This will the save the information to the selected basket and you will be provided these details once more when you order has been approved.

To remove or edit personal reminder(s), make your alteration and once more click ‘Save Changes’. This will once again save these details to the basket.

Managing Basket Contents - Chargeable Images

MediaStore supports the use of chargeable images but does not have an e-commerce function built in. Where the administrator deems those images chargeable, you will see 2 text boxes in the Basket Manager screen.

One will show the price, the other the quantity. Simply enter the amount of times you intend to use the image. Remember to click ‘Update Details’ to save your data entry.
