Login to a portal instance and select a VRE

This scenario is describing the required steps for loging in to a portal and selecting one of the available VREs.

  2. Your username and password are required so that you can log in

  5. All the available portlets for the selected VRE are now loaded

Perform a search and view the metadata of a record

This scenario will describe all the required steps that a user has to do in order to perform a kind of search, retrieve the results and then view the metadata of a result record.

  1. Follow the "Login_to_a_portal_instance_and_select_a_VRE" instructions in order to login to a VRE
  2. All the available portlets for this VRE are now loaded. Click on the "Search" tab to view the search portlets.

  3. Select the collections you want to search through
  4. Choose the type of search you want to perform
  5. Suppose that you choose the "Combined" search. Add as many conditions as you like and type your keyword for each condition.
  6. Select the sort order and field that will be used for the results and then click the "Search" button

    In the picture above we have selected 2 collections, combined search and we have typed only one keyword. We asked the results to be sorted by 'Title' in descending order
  7. After clicking the "Search" button, the query will be submitted, the buttons will be disabled and you will be automatically redirected to "Results" portlet

  8. The rendering of the results will start and you can either perform some actions to the records or you can click the next button so that you will get the next results
  9. Choose a record, click on the "Actions" button and select "View Metadata"
  10. After selecting this action you will be automatically redirected to the "Metadata Viewing Portlet", where you can see the metadata of this record

Change the XSLT at your profile and view the results using the new XSLT
