This documentation refers to an earlier version of Islandora. https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/ISLANDORA/Start is current.

The batch ingest module allows you to add several files, metadata records, or a combination of both to a collection at once. The module supports any files that are supported by the solution packs.

The ability to batch ingest metadata records is not fully functional in Islandora 11.2, but it has been implemented in Islandora 11.3.

Adding Files Without Metadata

You can add files without metadata to a ZIP file and ingest them via batch ingest - basic MODS and DC metadata records will be created using the filenames as titles. For this tutorial we'll batch ingest some TIFF files using the Large Image Solution Pack

1. Compress the files as a ZIP archive

Compress the TIFF files and name your ZIP file - in this case, tiff_test.zip. 

2. Navigate to the Large Image Collection

Navigate to a collection that has been associated with the large image content model. In this case, we'll use the default Islandora Large Image Collection.

 3. Batch Ingest the ZIP File

Click the 'Batch Ingest' tab and browse for your ZIP file. Click 'Create Objects' to proceed.

4. View Your New Objects
