Web-based compound object creation

Learn how to use the Web-based functions to edit metadata and structure within existing compound objects, and how you can create a compound object out of items already within the collection.

Using the Web-based functions, you can edit metadata and structure within existing compound objects, and you can create a compound object out of items already within the collection. If you already have a compound object that you wish to edit, see Edit and delete compound objects in the Web Editor. These functions are available by selecting CONTENTdm Administration from the Administration menu in the Project Client or navigating to CONTENTdm Administration in a browser.  

You must have rights to edit metadata and approve items and build indexes within the collection to create a Web-based compound object. If you do not have these permissions, Edit will not be hyperlinked under the Items tab.
