Viewing, Editing and Deleting Data Packages in EcoImages
Once a data package has been created, users are redirected to the My Downloads page. This page allows users to do the following things:
View their data packages,
Edit the Title and Description of their data packages,
Mint Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs) for their data packages,
Delete data packages (* if they do not have a minted DOI), and
Download their data packages.
Users can create multiple packages in EcoImages, with these expiring 14 days after creation. Note that expired packages can be re-requested by selecting the Download button.
The My Downloads page can be configured by the users to display 15, 50 or 100 packages per page, defaulting to 15. Pagination is available at the bottom of the page for ease of navigation. Sorting of packages is also available, either ascending or descending order. Options for sorting include by Title, Minted (whether the user has minted a DOI for the package), Status (Available, Requested, Processing, Updated, Packaging, Expired), Progress and Created Date.
Viewing Data Packages
To see more detail about a saved package, users can either click on the package name to expand it or use the Actions menu and select “View”, to redirect them to a separate page with the package details.
Editing Data Packages
To edit packages, users have two options. If they wish to edit the Title and/or Description, of a data package this can be done by clicking the Actions menu and selecting “Edit”. However, if users wish to change other parts of their package, for example the included images, then they will need to create a new package.
Deleting Data Packages
Users can only delete data packages which they have not minted a DOI for. This is because a DOI represents a specific unique package of published data. To find out more about DOIs please refer to https://www.doi.org/ .
To delete a package without a minted DOI, users can select “Delete” from the Actions menu against the selected package. This will generate a confirmation message which must be accepted for the package to be deleted.
Note that deleting a package is an irreversible action. If users are unsure about deleting a package, they choose to “Cancel” and return to their My Downloads page from the confirmation box.
Alternatively, users can delete a package from within the View Package page. Using the Delete function from this page will generate the same “Confirm Delete” confirmation message as above, to prevent accidental deletions.
