If your image files are hosted on your local machine, you can add items one by one:

  1. Select the blue "Add items" button.
  2. Select "Upload item" to add an item to your exhibit.
  3. Choose a file to upload from your local machine with file extension jpg, jpeg, or png.
  4. Required: Enter a Title.
    • This title will also be used as alt text if you choose to embed this image on any of your exhibit pages.
  5. Optional: Enter any other metadata you'd like to include and click "Add item" to save or "Add item and continue adding" to save and continue adding more items.
    • You may be presented with additional fields than in the screenshot above if your exhibit admins have configured additional metadata fields (Configuration: Metadata).
    • The Description field supports markdown for hyperlinks. 
      For example:
      Image Added→   Image Added

bulk

If you have publicly accessible URLs to images you'd like to upload to your exhibit, e.g. if your images are hosted in a public Amazon S3 bucket, you can upload multiple items at once.

Occasionally, the solr index that is queried for search results and dashboard display may become out of sync with the data in the database. For example, if you swap images for an item and the thumbnail that displays is still showing the old image, or if you bulk upload items and find that an item is missing from your list, you can choose to "Reindex items" to resync your solr index.
