QOTD Uploader

The QOTD uploader allows for uploading of bulk quotes into the pool of quotes which serve as the source of the Quote-Of-The-Day (QOTD) feature in OPAC.

There are four basic functions in the uploader:

  1. CSV File Uploading
    1. This function allows for the selection and upload of a CSV file containing quotes.
    2. Click the 'Choose File' button below the instructions.
    3. You will be presented with a file browser allowing you to select the CSV file you wish to upload.
    4. After selecting the CSV file, click the 'Open' button and the file will be uploaded into a temporary editing table.
    5. The CSV file must contain two columns in the form: "source","text" with no header row.
    6. Note: You will be prompted to confirm upload of files larger than 512KB.
  2. Pre-save Editing
    1. Once the CSV file has been loaded into the temporary editing table, you may edit the quotes prior to saving them.
    2. Edit either the 'Source' or 'Text' fields by clicking on the desired field.
    3. When you are finished editing a field, press the <Enter> key to save the changes.
    4. The list will be updated and the edits should now be visible.
  3. Delete Quote(s)
    1. This option allows for the deletion of one or more quotes at a time.
    2. Select the quote(s) you desire to delete by clicking on the corrisponding quote id.
    3. Once quote selection is finished, simply click the 'Delete quote(s)' key.
    4. You will be prompted to confirm the deletion.
    5. After confirming the deletion, the list will update and the quote(s) will no longer appear.
  4. Save Quotes
    1. This option allows for saving all of the quotes in the temporary editing table to the pool of quotes.
    2. Once you are satisfied with the quotes, click the 'Save quotes' button in the toolbar and the quotes will be saved.
    3. Note:The process of saving quotes is "asynchronous" meaning that you may navigate to other sections of the staff client while the quotes are being saved.
    4. If you choose to remain on the QOTD uploader page, you will receive a confirmation message once the quotes have successfully been saved.

See the full documentation for the QOTD Uploader in the manual (online).
