Import and Customize ¶¡ÏãÔ°AV Transfer Profiles

After downloading and installing DART you will need to import one of ¶¡ÏãÔ°AV's custom Transfer Profiles. These contain data entry fields and help text tailored to ¶¡ÏãÔ°AV transfer scenarios. Once imported, you can further customize the profile to set your name, department affiliation and contact information as default values that will auto-complete every time you start a new transfer, saving you the need to manually enter this information each time.

Customize your Transfer Profile

If you will be using DART regularly, it is a good idea to set your name, department and contact information as default values so that you do not have to re-enter this with each transfer. You do this by editing the Transfer Profile you installed above.

  1. Open DART, select Settings > BagIt Profiles.
  2. Click the profile you want to edit, e.g. ¶¡ÏãÔ°AV university records transfer.
  3. Select the blue link Tag Files, then "bag-info.txt".
  4. The BagIt Profile page shows a list of all "Tag Names" (i.e. fields) used in the profile; to set default values, click a tag name; in the pop-up window enter the value in the Default value field.
  5. Edit the following fields and click the Save button for each.
    • Contact-Email: your ¶¡ÏãÔ°AV email address.
    • Contact-Name: your name.
    • Contact-Phone: your ¶¡ÏãÔ°AV phone number.
    • Contact-Position-Title: your job title.
    • Organization-Address: your ¶¡ÏãÔ°AV campus (¶¡ÏãÔ°AV Burnaby, ¶¡ÏãÔ°AV Surrey, or ¶¡ÏãÔ°AV Vancouver).
    • Source-Organization: your department or unit name; give the full name, e.g. "Department of English" rather than just "English."
  6. Click the Save button to save changes.

The next time you create a Transfer Package, the default contact information will automatically be entered.

To view / edit default information when creating packages, click the Show All Tags button on the Bag Metadata screen.
