Batch Ingest Button

This feature allows a user to ingest (or update) a batch via a manifest spreadsheet using a button in the user interface. Here are the steps required, assuming we are writing to a collection called "Chris Stuff":

Step 1: upload manifest and files to dropbox as usual

Instructions for this are here: https://wiki.dlib.indiana.edu/display/VarVideo/Batch+Ingest+Package+Format

Instructions for our locally developed batch update feature are here: https://github.com/ualbertalib/avalon/wiki/Batch-Update

Step 2: clear out any of the files that will block the ingest

As per the instructions, the existence of error, processed, or processing files will prevent ingestion.

Step 3: navigate to the collection page

Typically, the route taken is Browse --> Manage Content --> (Collection name, e.g. Chris stuff)

Step 4: Press the "Batch ingest" button

Notes:

• A log of the most recent ingest can be viewed with the "View most recent batch ingest log" button.
• An error will be shown if there is an error file in the dropbox directory. Similarly if there is a 'processed' or 'processing' file.
