Test multiple downloads workflow

[karenmajewicz]

I am unsure of the best workflow for managing multiple downloads for continually harvested collections. Questions to determine:

• When we update a collection, we re-import metadata records. This overwrites the existing record. If we re-import multiple downloads, are they overwritten? Added to?

• [ ] put together some test data

• [ ] import into dev site

• [ ] test if links overwrite or duplicate

• [ ] document a workflow

The "Multiple Downloads" page is producing a warning that download links could not be destroyed when one uploads the file to the "Destroy" function. Upon examination after multiple attempts, seemingly all relevant records listed in the inputted CSV did indeed have their download links removed.

Test record: https://geodev.btaa.org/admin/documents/test/edit

1. Uploaded the CSV with 2 links
2. Uploaded the same CSV with same 2 links again

Message: Document Links could not be created..

3. Changed the LABEL text and re-imported. Still got Message: Message: Document Links could not be created.
4. Tried to use the delete CSV function. Got message "Download Links could not be destroyed."
5. Checked record. All SIX links are present.

Conclusion:

1. We are getting erroneous messages saying links cannot be created or destroyed when we upload to a record with existing links. The actions are actually successful - we just aren't getting the right messages.
2. Our workflow for updating records with multiple downloads is clumsy. We need to explore if there are better ways of doing this.
3. Regardless of the outcome, we need to document the workflow more explicitly.
