When creating metadata, look up terms in the existing taxonomies and reuse terms as appropriate, making sure that the spelling matches exactly. New taxonomy terms must be created before the Node metadata that reference a term. For batch ingests the time being this will be managed as part of the pre-processing of metadata spreadsheets.

Updates to metadata or taxonomy terms follow the same process as batch ingests of new content. If you want to update asset metadata, you need to specify the ID of the node you want to update. Contact the DAMS administrators for support with obtaining node IDs.

Ingest process

The ingest process will be managed by DAMS administrators for the time being. You need to provide a metadata spreadsheet and the files that will be ingested.
