Add Batch

NOTE: The maximum file size is set at 10MB per individual file.

NOTE: The ‘Add Batch’ tool requires the Java Runtime environment installed. This will install automatically should you not have it installed. Follow the onscreen instructions.

To enable multiple files to be uploaded, select the ‘Add Batch’ Option. Once the Java applet has installed, you will be presented with the batch upload tool.

To locate the files you wish to upload, click Add Files. Using the navigation options in the tool, locate the files you wish to upload. Please ensure that you only try to upload files at this stage from a single source. You will have the option to add additional files later. When you have located the files, simply hold down ‘Ctrl’ key on your keyboard and click on the file names you require.

When you have selected all the files you wish to upload, click ‘MediaStoreV3 Upload’. You will now see the file names in the holding area on the left hand side of the applet. You may now, if you wish, use the routine again to locate additional files from another location by clicking ‘Add Files’.

When you are happy that you have the files ready for upload, click ‘Upload Files’. The files will now transfer to the server. This may take a few minutes depending on the overall size of the files that you are uploading and your connection speed. It is advisable that you only action Batch Uploads when use of MediaStore is low. We would recommend using Add Batch at the end of the working day.

Once files have been successfully uploaded, you will be taken back to the home page. To view the files that have been uploaded, you must visit the ‘New Search’ tab on the main menu. Clicking this option will take you back to the master search screen. You will see a category called ‘Batch Uploads’. Simply select this category, and then search. All the files that you have just uploaded will be on the screen. To administer the content of the files, select the ‘Edit this asset’ option under the files required. You can now complete the process of adding asset content as carried out in the single file upload.

Revisit the Batch Uploads category every time you wish to administer a batch-uploaded file.
