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

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
