General browsing

LIBSAFE interface is divided, generally speaking, into three parts:

1. A top browsing bar, which includes quick access to the main pages of the application. It also includes the name of the registered user, which is a link to its own account detail, as well as a ‘close session’ option.

2. A left side general information bar. It has system summary information and direct accesses to ingestion, audit, retrieve and datamover jobs. Totals of system activity are also included.

3. A main section, in which the application is presented according to the browsing being performed.

All through the interface there are many direct links for easy accessing to different kinds of information. These accesses may be on specific data (text links), to browse result lists, specific action buttons, and others.

The use of a direct link may imply a change in the workflow, ending those tasks that need to follow predefined sequential tasks for their operation.

There are also lists in which it is possible to organize them by any of the columns topped in red. Clicking on them will activate an ascending or descending order.

Important: showing the direct links, menu options and specific information on the screen is something subject to the application permissions held by the logged-in user. This manual makes no distinction in its description and presupposes that the user has all possible permissions over all preservation areas or whichever object the permission applies to; something that is necessary to show the application in full.

Something to be taken into account is that permissions with preservation areas associated to them need not have the same areas associated. It is the administrator’s task to configure this correctly and the user’s task to know and understand what access he is allowed to and therefore what actions are active at a given moment. A more detailed explanation of this can be read in the Users, User groups and Permissions sections of the System Administrator Manual.
