Information Space Editor

Information Space Editor portlet is part of the Interface Management activity. In order to have a hierarchical structure of the collections per VO/VRE, a generic resource describes the available collections, their hierarchy, and their descriptive information (description, references, etc). This recource is used by the portal to group collections and retrieve extra information for each available collection. The Information Space Editor portlet offers functionality to edit this resource. It is available only to users either with 'VRE-Manager' or 'VO-Admin' role.

Below, a screenshot of the portlet is shown, refering to the 'FCPPS/Demo' vre.

• The first column show all the available collections for this VRE.
  • The collectionsthat are highlighted with blue color are the ones that already exist on this VRE.

• The second column shows the hierarchical structure of the collections.
  • New collections can be added to groups.
  • Existing collections can be removed.
  • Existing collections can be moved to different groups (drag and drop to move collections to other groups)

• The third column shows details for the selected collection
  • By selecting a collection and then pressing on the "Edit" button, the information can be changed or enhanced for the corresponding collection.
