<h1>General Overview of the Manager Tool</h1>
<h3>Things to know before using the Manager:</h3>
<blockquote>
<ul>
&nbsp;<span class="guideheader">T</span>his manager tool allows you to administrate all the WebSubmit
interface. With it, you will be able to create new actions, new types of documents and edit the existing ones.
<br/><br/>
&nbsp;<span class="guideheader">T</span>he main objects in webSubmit are the "action" (such as
"Submit New Record", "Submit New File", "Modify Record"...) and the "type of document" (such as "preprint",
"photo"...).<br/><br/>
&nbsp;<span class="guideheader">T</span>o one given type of document can be attached several actions.
An action is the addition of two processes:
<ul>
<li>The first one is the <a href="#implementwebform">data gathering</a>. The manager
will allow you to create new web forms corresponding to the fields the user will have to fill in when using
webSubmit.
<li>The second one is the <a href="#implementfunctions">data treatement</a>.
Basically, what the program will do with the data gathered during the first phase. The treatment appears
in this tool as a sequence of functions. This manager will allow you to add functions to an action, edit the
existing functions, and reorder the functions.
</ul>
</ul>

<h1>Using the manager through an example</h1>
<h3>what is this?</h3>
<blockquote>
<ul>
This page presents you the typical situations a user could meet using WebSubmit, and for each situation how to use the manager to configure it.
</ul>
</blockquote>
<h3>The user reaches WebSubmit main page.</h3>
<IMG src="<CFG_SITE_URL>/img/admin/websubmit-admin-guide-main_menu.png" alt="Main Page" class="guideimg" align="left">
&nbsp;<span class="guideheader">T</span>o add a document type to WebSubmit, you should go to the <a target=top href="<CFG_SITE_URL>/admin/websubmit/index.php">main page</a>
and click on "New Doctype" in the left blue panel.<br/><br/>
&nbsp;<span class="guideheader">E</span>ven once created, a document type will not appear automatically on this page. To configure the list of catalogues and document
types displayed on this page, the administrator shall go to the <a target=top href="<CFG_SITE_URL>/admin/websubmit/editCatalogues.php">edit catalogues</a>
page. (see the <a href="#catalogues">guide section</a>)<br clear="all"/>
<h3>The user can then click on the document type he is interested in.</h3>
<IMG src="<CFG_SITE_URL>/img/admin/websubmit-admin-guide-menu_doc.png" alt="Document type Page" class="guideimg" align="left">
&nbsp;<span class="guideheader">T</span>he text appearing under the header containing the name of the document
can be configured by going to the <a target=top href="websubmit-admin">main page</a>, click on
the title of the document type then on the "Edit Document Types Details" button.<br/><br/>
&nbsp;<span class="guideheader">Y</span>ou can associate several categories to a document type which can be defined by going to the
<a target=top href="websubmit-admin">main page</a>, click on the title of the document type
then on the "View Categories" button. The selected category will be saved in a file named "comboXXX"
(where XXX is the short name of the document type) in the submission directory.<br/><br/>
&nbsp;<span class="guideheader">T</span>o add an action button to this page, first implement this action by going to the
<a target=top href="websubmit-admin">main page</a>, click on the title of the document type then
on the "Add a new submission" button. If the action is already implemented and the button still does not appear
on the submision page, then you should edit the details of this implementation: go to the
<a target=top href="websubmit-admin">main page</a>, click on the title of the document type then
on the icon in the "Edit Submission" column and in the line of the desired action. There you should set the
"Displayed" form field to "YES".<br/><br/>
&nbsp;<span class="guideheader">Y</span>ou can also change the order of the buttons, by going to the <a target=top href="websubmit-admin">
main page</a>, click on the title of the document type then on the icon in the "Edit Submission" column and in the
line of the desired action. There you can set the "buttonorder" form field.<br/><br clear="all"/>
<h3>The user now may choose a category, then click on the action button he wishes.<br/>The submission starts, the first page of the web form appears.</h3>
<IMG src="<CFG_SITE_URL>/img/admin/websubmit-admin-guide-form.png" alt="Document type Page" class="guideimg" align="left">
&nbsp;<span class="guideheader">T</span>his web form is composed of several pages, on each of these
pages form fields can be found. To modify the number of pages, add or withdraw form fields and modify
the texts before each form field, you shall go to the <a target=top href="websubmit-admin">main page</a>,
click on the title of the document type then on the icon in the "Edit Submission Pages" column and in the line of the
desired action. (see the <a href="#actionimplement">guide section</a>)<br/><br clear="all"/>
<h3>On the last page of the submission, there should be a button like in the following image which will
trigger the end script</h3>
<IMG src="<CFG_SITE_URL>/img/admin/websubmit-admin-guide-end_action.png" alt="Document type End Page" class="guideimg" align="left">

<a name="philosophy"></a>
<h1>Philosophy behind the document submission system</h1>
<p>This page will explain some philosophical issues behind the document submission system.
<h3>On the relation between a search collection and a submission doctype:</h3>
<blockquote>
<ul>
&nbsp;<span class="guideheader">T</span>he relation
between a search collection and a submission document
type may be prone to certain confusion for CDS Invenio
administrators. This comes from the fact that there is
no one-to-one direct mapping between them, as is usual
elsewhere. The relation is more flexible than that.<br/><br/>
&nbsp;<span class="guideheader">A</span> search
collection in CDS Invenio is defined through a search
query. For example, "all records where field F
contains the value V belong to collection C". Several
assertions can be deduced from this definition:<br/>
&nbsp;1/ A single record can appear in several collections.<br/>
&nbsp;2/ There is no limitation to the number of
collections in which a record can appear.<br/>
&nbsp;3/ Any query can be used to build a
collection. The query can also be a complex one using
logical operators, hence can rely on the value of
several fields.<br/><br/>
&nbsp;(In addition, a search collection can be defined
via a set of its subcollections in the hierarchy tree.
Refer to the <a
href="websearch-guide">WebSearch
Admin Guide</a> for that matter.)<br/><br/>
&nbsp;<span class="guideheader">T</span>he submission
system basically creates an XML MARC record and stores
it in the database. To which collection this new
record belongs depends exclusively on the content of
the XML MARC record. This XML MARC record is created
by the <a href="#Make_Record">Make_Record</a> function. So the
secret of the matching of a submitted record to a
particular collection lies in the configuration of
this function. Some examples will clarify this
point:<br/><br/>
&nbsp;<span class="guideheader">E</span>xample 1:
Let's consider a "Preprints" collection which is
defined by this query: "980__a:PREPRINT". We want to
create a submission document type from which all
records will go to this "Preprints" collection. For
this, the Make_Record function should be configured so
that a 980__a field containing "PREPRINT" will always
be created.<br/>
&nbsp;<span class="guideheader">E</span>xample 2:
Let's still consider the same "Preprints" collection,
and an additional "Theses" collection based on a
slightly different query "980__a:THESIS". We want to
create a single submission type from which the records
will go in the "Preprints" or "Theses" collections
depending on a field chosen by the submitter. In this
case, the Make_Record function should be configured so
that a 980__a field will contain either "PREPRINT" or
"THESIS" depending on the value entered by
the submitter.<br/><br/>
&nbsp;<span class="guideheader">T</span>he apparent
disconnection between a submission document type and a
search collection allows a great flexibility, allowing
administrators to create 1 to 1, 1 to n, n to 1 or
even 1 to 0 (not very useful!) relations.

<h1>Document Types</h1>
<blockquote>
<ul>
&nbsp;<span class="guideheader">W</span>ebSubmit can propose several actions on different document
types. Each of these document type may or may not implement all possible actions. The main difference
between each document type is the metadata which define each of them, and may also be the kind of fulltext
files attached to one record. <br/><br/>
&nbsp;<span class="guideheader">A</span> document type can be one of "Thesis", "Photos", "Videotapes"...
or whatever type of document you may invent. A document type is always defined by its metadata. It may or
may not have a fulltext file attached to it.<br/><br/>
&nbsp;<span class="guideheader">T</span>his tool leaves you free to create the web forms adapted to whatever type of document you want to

<li><b>Doctype to clone</b>: Here you can choose to create your document type as a clone of another
existing document type. If so, the new document type will implement all actions implemented by the chosen
one. The web forms will be the same, and the functions also, as well as the values of the parameters for
these functions. Of course once cloned, you will be able to modify the implemented actions.

<h1>Actions</h1>
<blockquote>
&nbsp;<span class="guideheader">I</span>n webSubmit you can create several actions (for example
"Submit New Record", "Submit a New File", "Send to a Distribution List", etc. in fact any action you can imagine
to perform on a document stored in your database). The creation of an action is very simple and consists in
filling in a name, description and associating a directory to this action. The directory parameter indicates where
the collected data will be stored when the action is carried on.<br/><br/>
&nbsp;<span class="guideheader">O</span>nce an action is created, you have to implement it over a document
type. Implementing an action means defining the web form which will be displayed to a user, and defining the
treatment (set of functions) applied to the data which have been gathered. The implementation of the same action
over two document types can be very different. The fields in the web form can be different as well as the functions
applied at the end of this action.

set.<br/><br/>
<table border=0 bgcolor="eeeeff"><tr><td><small><br/>
An action set is a succession of actions which should be done in a given order when a user starts.<br/>
For example the submission of a document is usually composed of two actions: Submission of Bibliographic
Information (SBI) and Fulltext Transfer (FTT) which should be done one after the other.<br/>
When the user starts the submission, we want CDS Submit to get him first in SBI and when he finishes SBI to
carry him to FTT.<br/>
SBI and FTT are in this case in the same action set.<br/>
They will both have a level of 1 ("level" is a bad name, it should be "action set number"), SBI will have a
score of 1, and FTT a score of 2 (which means it will be started after SBI). If you set the stpage of FTT to 2,
the user will be directly carried to the 2nd page of the FTT web form. This value is usually set to 1.<br/>
The endtxt field contains the text which will be display to the user at the end of the first action (here
it could be "you now have to transfer your files")
<br/><br/>
A single action like "Modify Bibliographic Information" should have the 3 columns to 0,0 and 1.<br/>&nbsp;

&nbsp;<span class="guideheader">A</span>t the end of a submission, we have to tell webSubmit what to do

<h3>List of functions</h3>

<IMG src="<CFG_SITE_URL>/img/admin/websubmit-admin-guide-list_functions.png" class="guideimg"><br/><br/>
&nbsp;<span class="guideheader">Y</span>ou can see the ordered list of all the functions in the end script.
This end script is composed of 2 steps (see the "step" column). The functions composing the first step are called,
then there should be action from the user which would trigger step 2 - in the present case the
<a href="#Upload_Files">Upload_Files</a> function (last of step 1) allows
the user to upload additional files by creating a web form, then when the user finishes, he presses another
button created by the function, which ends the process. Functions of step 2 are then called.<br/><br/>
&nbsp;<span class="guideheader">W</span>hy implement multiple steps? The reason can vary with the task
you want to accomplish. For example with the example above (Fulltext Transfer), we use the first step to allow
the upload of multiple additional files (dynamic action) which could not be done in the
<a href="#implementwebform">static web form</a>. In the case of the
"Modify Bibliographic Information" action, the first step is used to display the fields the user wants to modify,
prefilled with the existing values. The reason is once again that the task we want to realise is dynamic.<br/><br/>
&nbsp;<span class="guideheader">T</span>he "score" column is used to order the functions. The function
which has the smallest score will be called first, and the largest score will be called last.<br/><br/>
&nbsp;<span class="guideheader">Y</span>ou can then:
<ul>
<li> View and edit the parameters of each function by clicking on the name of the function.
<li> Move one function up and down, by using the small blue arrows.
<li> Suppress one function by clicking on the relevant red cross.
<li> Add a function to the list by clicking the "ADD FUNCTION" button.
<li> Go back to the document main page ("FINISHED" button).
</ul>
&nbsp;<span class="guideheader">P</span>lease note: To pass one function from one step to another,
you have to delete it then add it again in the proper step.

<h1>Functions</h1>
<h3>Description:</h3>
<blockquote>
&nbsp;<span class="guideheader">I</span>n webSubmit, each action process is divided into two phases: the
gathering of data (through a web form) and the treatment of the data.<br/><br/>
&nbsp;<span class="guideheader">T</span>he treatment is organised in a succession of functions, each of
which has its own input and output.<br/><br/>
&nbsp;<span class="guideheader">T</span>he functions themselves are stored in separate files (one per
function) in the /opt/cds-invenio/lib/python/invenio/websubmit_functions directory. A file containing a function MUST
be named after the function name itself. For example, a function called "Move_to_Done" MUST be stored in a
file called Move_to_Done.py. The case is important here.<br/><br/>
&nbsp;<span class="guideheader">F</span>or a description of what should be inside the file, have a look to
the "create a new function" page of this guide.<br/><br/>
&nbsp;<span class="guideheader">T</span>o each function you can associate one or several parameters,
which may have different values according to the document type the function is used for. One parameter may
be used for different functions. For example one standard parameter used in several functions is called "edsrn".
It contains the name of the file in which the reference of the document is stored.

&nbsp;<span class="guideheader">A</span>nother example: if you wish to authorize a user to Modify the
bibliographic data of PICT documents, you have to create a role which authorize the action "submit" over doctype
"PICT" and act "MBI". This role can be called "submitter_PICT_MBI" or whatever you want.<br/><br/>
&nbsp;<span class="guideheader">I</span>f no role is defined for a given action and a given document type,
then all users will be allowed to use it.

<h1>Submission Catalogue Organisation</h1>
<h3>What is it?</h3>
<blockquote>
&nbsp;<span class="guideheader">T</span>his feature allows you to organise the way webSubmit main page
will look like. You will be able to group document types inside catalogues and order the catalogues the way you
wish.
</blockquote>
<h3>How to get there?</h3>
<blockquote>
&nbsp;<span class="guideheader">C</span>lick on the "Organisation" link in the websubmit admin right menu.
</blockquote>
<h3>How to do this?</h3>
<blockquote>
&nbsp;<span class="guideheader">O</span>nce on the "Edit Catalogues page", you will find the currently
defined organisation chart in the middle of the page. To the right, one form allows you to create a new catalogue
("Add a Catalogue") and one to add a document type to an existing catalogue ("Add a document type").
<br/>&nbsp;<br/>
<ul>
<li><font color=green>To add a catalogue:</font> Enter the name of your new catalogue in the
"Catalogue Name" free text field then choose to which existing catalogue this one will be attached to. If you
attach the new one to an already existing catalogue, you can create a sub-catalogue. To actually create it,
click on "ADD".
<li><font color=green>To add a document type to a catalogue:</font> Choose in the list of existing
"Document type names" the one you want to add to the chart. Then choose to which catalogue the document
type will be associated. Click on "ADD" to finalise this action.
<li><font color=green>To withdraw a document type or a catalogue from the chart:</font> Click on the
red cross next to the item you want to withdraw. If you withdraw a catalogue all document types attached to
it will be withdrawn also (of course the actual document types in webSubmit won't be destroyed!).
<li><font color=green>To move a document type or a catalogue in the chart:</font> Use the small up
and down arrows next to the document type/catalogue title.
</ul>

<i>&nbsp;<span class="guideheader">Q</span>1. I'd like to be warned each time there is an error, or an important
action is made through the manager. Is this possible?
</i>
<blockquote>
Yes, it is. Edit the invenio-local.conf file, the "CFG_SITE_ADMIN_EMAIL" definition and set it to your email
address. You will then receive all the warning emails issued by the manager.

<i>&nbsp;<span class="guideheader">Q</span>2. Where are all the files stored in this system?
</i>
<blockquote>
<li>the counter files are here: /opt/cds-invenio/var/data/submit/counters. There are used by the
<a href="#Report_Number_Generation">Report_Number_Generation</a>
function.
<li>all running and completed submissions are stored here: /opt/cds-invenio/var/data/submit/storage.
<li>all the document files attached to records are stored here: /opt/cds-invenio/var/data/files.
<li>all python functions used by webSubmit are stored here: /opt/cds-invenio/lib/python/invenio/websubmit_functions
</blockquote>
<a name="Q3"></a>
<i>&nbsp;<span class="guideheader">Q</span>3. How is the documents archive organised?
</i>
<blockquote>
First of all, the documents files attached to records are stored here: /opt/cds-invenio/var/data/files. <br/><br/>
The <a href="#Upload_Files">Upload_Files</a> webSubmit function is used
to link a document with a record.<br/><br/>
All documents get an id from the system and are stored in the "bibdoc" table in the database. The link between a
document and a record is stored using the "bibdoc_bibrec" table.<br/><br/>
The document id is used to determine where the files are stored. For example the files of document #14 will be
stored here: /opt/cds-invenio/var/data/files/g0/14<br/><br/>
The subdirectory g0 is used to split the documents accross the filesystem. The CFG_FILE_DIR_SIZE variable from
invenio.conf determines how many documents will be stored under one subdirectory.<br/><br/>
Several files may be stored under the same document directory: they are the different formats and versions of the
same document. Versions are indicated by a string of the form ";1.0" concatenated to the name of the file.
