Pools

Easydb stores records for whose object type pool management is enabled in pools. Pools can be used to record:

To structure the content
Organizational structure
For operations

Pools are managed in a hierarchy. The root pool is at the top of the hierarchy. Other pools can be ordered and/or organized hierarchically. All the settings that are made in a parent pool are sent out to all children (including child children, etc.). This setting can be overridden in the child pools (children).

NOTE: Changing the name of pools and watermarking can cause complex re-calculations on the server side.

General

Pool-Management

Setting	Note
ID	Is assigned automatically when the pool is created.
Owner	By default, this is the creator of the pool. Other users can be selected as pool administrators. Only users with the system right root can change the owner. For information on configurating rights for pool administrators, refer to the chapter multitenancy.
Name	Name of the pool, multilingual. A name change entails a complete re-indexing of all affected records, which may take some time
Contact	Contact for the pool. Is displayed to the users via in the pool overview.
Description	Multilingual. Is displayed to the users via in the pool overview.
Reference	Is used for exports with OAI/PMH and Deeplinks. Must be unique.
Short name	Is used for exports with OAI/PMH and Deeplinks. Must be unique.
Export profile for Dublin-Core	Default mapping for Dublin Core exports. The user can also choose a different mapping for the export.
Export profile for images	Default mapping for the export of images. The user can choose another mapping for export, but this is not possible with a simple download, where the mapping set here is used.
Import profile for images	Default mapping for the import of images. The user can also choose a different mapping for the import.

Watermark

For images, easydb can add a watermark to the images depending on the pool. In this tab you define which image is used as a watermark.

Setting	Note
The watermark	For the picture
Transparency	the transparency of the image
Position	Position of the watermark as a heavenly direction
Size	Size of the watermark
Tiles	Watermark is displayed as tile image.

NOTE: The watermark defined for a pool is automatically assigned to subordinate pools.

ATTENTION: The watermark versions will not be recalculated if only the options “Dissolve”, “Position”, “Size” or “Tiles” are changed afterwards. For the new settings to take effect, the watermark file must be uploaded again.

Masks

For each object type that is enabled for pool management, the order of the masks used by the user to display records can be defined here. The first mask is then output as the default mask.

Settings for masks

Setting	Note
Object Type	If the checkbox is activated, the object type settings apply. This option is only available on root pool level.
From the parent pool	If the checkbox is activated, the settings from the parent pool apply. This option is not available on root pool level.
<Mask>	If the checkbox above is deactivated, the available masks appear below. Drag the masks into the desired order. Note: If you drag the mask under the double line, it will not be indexed. Then the user cannot see data records with this mask. At least one mask must appear above the line, to save the new order.

Workflows

See chapter Object Types.

Authorizations

Here, you specify which rights users and groups receive for records that are located in this pool or in one of the subordinate pools.

Setting	Note
single Rights List	If this checkbox is set, rights from the parent pools are not accepted, unless they are marked as Persistent. This function is not available for the root pool
