Adding a Subcollection

You can add a subcollection to an existing asset if the following criteria are true:

• You have a MoDaC user account with upload permission.
• You are member of a group that has permission to edit that asset (or if you created that asset). 

When you create a collection, you become the owner of that collection. (Ownership cannot be changed.)

1. Log in, as described in Logging In. 

2. Click Upload in the header. The upload page appears. 

3. Click Select Program. Select an existing program from the program list.
4. Click Select Study. Select an existing study from the study list.
5. Click Select Asset. Select an existing asset from the asset list.
6. Click Register Asset Subcollection. The Register Asset Subcollection page appears. 

7. Specify information for the new collection:

   • To add a metadata attribute, click Add Metadata. A blank attribute row appears. Specify a unique attribute name. (Repeat for additional attributes. To delete an attribute, click the X.)
   • Specify a value for each required metadata attribute. Keep in mind the following points:
     • The character limit for each metadata value is 2700.
     • Once you register the collection, the identifier is permanent.
     • If an attribute value begins with http or https, MoDaC displays it as a hyperlink in read-only fields.
     • For additional guidance on each attribute, hover over the icon. 

8. When you have finished specifying information for the new collection, click Register Asset Subcollection. A message appears, confirming the collection creation. 

To return to the upload page, click Back to Upload Tab.
