Create a Collaborative Collection
To make a collection, log in to Audio-Video first. Then, you can create a collection. Subcollections help you organize your media.
Contributors need an Audio-Video account to join the team. UVA members sign up at audio-video.shanti.virginia.edu with their NetBadge account. This first log in sets up their account automatically. Now you can add them to the collection.
Adding members to a collection lets them submit files and entries. To make your team, follow the Add New Collection Members guide.
Tracking Workflow
Large archival projects can get unwieldy. In Audio-Video, you can use workflows to track your progress. These help keep you on task.
...
"My Workflow" lets you see all tasks for the project. This helps you decide what to do next.
