General Workflow
Up one level
The general workflow using the Quick Upload is:
- Add the files
- Assign the target locations
- Assign the metadata
- Close the application after it is finished uploading the data
When the Quick Upload is first opened, there are no files specified and it is sitting idle. Once files are added and their target locations are specified, it may begin work. It uploads files and metadata in the background and reports its progress while users continue to work with the user interface.
In most cases it is fastest to specify the target location for all files before beginning to specify the metadata, as uploading the files is significantly slower than uploading the metadata. Doing this allows the Quick Upload to upload the files while the user, at the same time, specifies the metadata to be uploaded. The metadata can then be sent to the server usually quite quickly.
