 ====== Handling meta-data ====== ====== Handling meta-data ======
  
 +Sometimes, a picture does //not// say more than a 1000 words, and your slide presentation can benefit from additional textual annotation.
  
 +{{ ::​meta_data.png?​400 |}}
 +
 +In PMA.slidebox,​ this can be done through an interplay with [[:​core_slidebox|PMA.core]].
 +
 +If you prefer an interactive walk-through,​ the procedure is [[https://​youtu.be/​GFXogcpVHR0?​t=160||illustrated in our online video tutorial]] as well.
 +
 +You start by going to PMA.core and define a form that will hold your slide meta-data.
 +
 +{{ ::​meta_data_10.png?​400 |}}
 +
 +Fill out some general data about the form, then add your fields.
 +
 +{{ ::​meta_data_20.png?​400 |}}
 +
 +Once you have a form defined, you can prepare a fill-out sheet.
 +
 +{{ ::​meta_data_30.png?​400 |}}
 +
 +When you have your folder divided in subfolders to [[slides_cases|organize your cases]], make sure to check to include “slides in subfolders”.
 +
 +After you download the spreadsheet,​ you see something like this:
 +
 +{{ ::​meta_data_40.png?​400 |}}
 +
 +Fill out the sheet, and upload it again to PMA.core. You can confirm in the PMA.core user interface that your meta-data were parsed correctly:
 +
 +{{ ::​meta_data_50.png?​400 |}}
 +
 +After selecting the file and pressing the upload button, you can follow along as the meta-data gets populated.
 +
 +Next, you go back to the PMA.slidebox configuration and point to the form as it is retrieved from PMA.core.
 +
 +{{ ::​meta_data_60.png?​400 |}}
 +
 +{{ ::​meta_data.png?​400 |}}
 +
 +Now your public website is as you want it. As before, you can notify end-users via email or instant messaging that you updated the website. ​
 +
 +The URL is the only piece of information that you need to share a collection with people. You can also refer to it from other websites with a simple hyperlink.
 +
