Ingestion Widget

Description

The Ingestion Widget is a tool to ingest a large number raw files into TACTIC. The tool is often used immediately after the initial creation of a new sType.

Usage

The Ingestion Widget is used to checkin files using the drag and drop option. To find the tool, first go to Project Configuration. Next, find the sType that you wish to add entries to.

In the Configuration view, click on the View column icon to view the sType object to ingest. Next, in the bottom panel, right click on the gear widget for that sType, hover over the File option from the dropdown and select under File -> Ingest Files.

This pops up the following Ingest Files window.

Click on the Add tab and drag the files from a folder on your computer into this TACTIC Ingest window. Next, hit the Ingest button to start uploading the files. After TACTIC has completed uploading the files, it will show a small pop-window

The difference between the Ingest Tool and the Checkin Widget is that the context cannot be specified for the Ingest Tool. The Ingest Tool simples uses the default context.
