User guide

This section is the practical, click-by-click guide for VLIZ collection managers. It assumes you have an account and have already logged in.

If you're an Inuits engineer or integrator looking for the data model, schemas or the CSV format, head to Data model or CSV import instead.

What you'll find here

PageWhen to read it
SearchingYou want to find an existing entity (a media, an album, a person, a partner…).
FilteringYou want to narrow a list down — e.g. "all media tagged Coastal Management from last year".
Uploading mediaYou have files to upload — from a single photo to a full campaign (see also CSV import).
Editing metadataYou opened an entity and want to change its title, add a relation, fix a date…
Creating an albumYou want to group media records into an album.
Cookbook"I just want to do X" — short recipes for the most common workflows.

Screenshots on these pages were taken on the UAT environment, so the data you see will differ from production — the screens themselves are the same.

Conventions used on these pages

  • Bold UI labels match the on-screen label exactly. If something on this page reads "click Save", look for a button literally labelled Save.
  • Italic terms are concepts (entity, relation, context) — see the Data model for definitions.
  • Code in monospace is either a literal value to type or a technical key (an internal field name).
