Mediahaven 2.0 features

In cooperation with our customers, we keep enhancing our MediaHaven 2.0 product. We’ve continued the development of the following functionalities:

Export only the metadata from a selection of objects

Reporting

Remove content uploader: manage facets and field definitions in MH2.0 interface

Improvements

As with every release, we have made some improvements based on feedback from our end users. You can consult them below.

• Search We’ve improved the general search and advanced search functionality to support searching for words with diacritics without indicating them in the search term. E.g. when the metadata contains “pêcheurs”, the following searches hit the object “pecheurs”, “pècheurs”, “pêcheurs”, etc.Please, be aware that autocomplete/suggestions do not work for values containing diacritics. This is also not the case when searching in filters.

• Contact admin on portal The functionality to contact an admin about any object was already available within MediaHaven2.0, but now we’ve also introduced this feature on the public portal. Users without a login can now contact the admin of your organisation if they have a question about a certain object.

• Inheritance of permissions We’ve improved the inheritance of permissions. If an object has a parent and permissions inheritance is true for both the field definition RightsManagement.Permissions and the record type associated with the object: Inherit permissions from the parent excluding the auto-assigned groups. Else, use the manual permissions. For more detailed information about permission inheritance, please check: .

• Visualization of new field types In the UI, we now support the visualization of a URL field. In this field, the user can enter a valid URL. We have also introduced the possibility to add a label next to your URL. Clicking on the label or URL opens the desired website.

Open

• Visualization of field type We’ve improved the visualization of a ComplexListField of PositionFields. By doing this, the “Show on map” functionality is also available when you want to indicate multiple locations for one object. The subfields of a position/location are now hidden but can be viewed in a pop-up.

Open

• Manage roles For integrators and system admins who can manage roles, we’ve added the possibility to filter the roles on organisation.

• Manage groups When adding users to a group, the system users can no longer be selected because this resulted in an error when saving the group. From now on, you can also add more than 20 users to a group at once.

• Relations Since the previous version of MediaHaven, it is possible to use custom object types. From this version, it is possible to create relations for all object types.

• Destruction module Objects that are approved for destruction or that are definitely destructed remain in the published phase. Before, they were transferred to the archive phase but this was not desired.

• SIP upload If you’re uploading assets with metadata by using the SIP upload, these SIP objects are now also visualized in MediaHaven. In this way, you can easily follow-up the processing and error messages of these SIP uploads.

• Upload When ingesting as data objects the original representation will be deleted permanently when the data object is rejected (e.g. virus).

• Change password The change password functionality now supports all characters and there is a minimum length of 12 characters.

• API We’ve improved the MediaHaven 2.0 front-end performance by streamlining the API requests.

• API We did some improvements to our batches. For more detailed information about batches, please check the page: .

  • By using the API, you can request the errors occured on the batch.

  • The batch action will be aborted if 20% of the actions in the batch fail.

  • And batches are deleted after 30 days.

Bug fixes

• [MH2.0] When downloading a single object or when downloading a bulk selection of objects, in both cases the original filename is used. This has been fixed in version 24.1 and 24.2.

• [MH2.0] After clicking the 'view metadata' action on an intellectual object, the system incorrectly took the user to the object's content page. This has been changed in version 24.1 and 24.2.

• [MH2.0] In some cases, the location disappeared in the interface when editing an object. This has been fixed in version 23.3, 23.4, 24.1 and 24.2.

• [MH2.0] The button ‘Next result’ when viewing objects on the full page was unresponsive when using Google Chrome or MS Edge. This has been fixed in version 23.3, 24.1 and 24.2.

• [MH2.0] The number of results on a page, set in the user profile, was not maintained after adding a search term or filter. This has been fixed in version 23.3, 24.1 and 24.2.

• [MH2.0] The share link on the public portal is available again. This has been fixed in version 24.1 and 24.2.

• [MH2.0] The help text of the Authors fields was placed above the title of that field. This is now consistent with the other fields.

• [Settings and management] The search context is now saved after opening a detail page in the module settings and management.
