Uploading assets to FotoWeb
- Select Upload in the top banner to display the Upload window.
- Drag one or more files from your desktop into the upload area (the dotted blue box) or select the Browse link to locate the files on your computer.
- Choose the archive to upload the assets from the dropdown list just above the upload area. This will list all the areas you have upload access to, and depending on how the system has been configured, you may also be able to select a subfolder.
- You may need to fill in certain metadata fields, depending on the metadata set applied to the archive. This metadata will be written to all the files in the upload queue.
The yellow metadata fields are required, so you cannot start uploading unless you have entered values in them. - When you've added all files to the upload queue and added metadata, select Upload to start uploading the files to the server.
When the upload is complete, the files will be available in the archive to which you uploaded them.
What if the files I upload already have metadata?
When uploading files through the web browser as described above, fields you leave empty in the upload dialog will be cleared when the file is uploaded, even if the original file on your computer had metadata in this field.
Therefore, if the files you upload already have descriptive metadata, one of the below methods may better suit your way of working:
- You can use FotoWeb Desktop to upload files to the archive.
- You can use FotoStation to caption the files and upload them to the FotoWeb server through an action.
