Administrators Guide

The role of an administrator

• Look over any files that are being uploaded to ensure they meet guidelines
• Check image tags and tag consistency where appropriate
• Move folder to correct place from Drop Folder to the correct folder location on the Photos Folder
• Any photos that could be used for archival quality need to be tagged

Administrator login

Login to the administration panel using your BGS username and password.

The process

• Staff use the Image Upload Tool to upload photos to system
• Folder is renamed automatically, photos are tagged and placed in the Drop Folder
• Administrator checks files for duplicates, tagging
• Admin moves folder from the Drop Folder into correct folder on the M: Drive
• Extensis Portfolio watches that folder and catalogues the images

Differences between staff and administrators

Folder structure

Once folders are moved into the M:\Photos folder, the DAM system catalogs the added photos.
It is important that each folder is named correctly and is in the appropriate folder location.
