Workflows

 Page Metadata Editing Workflow

1.  Go to Page Details View
2. Search for notebook number via identifier field (e.g. search for "nb31")
3. Work your way through the found set.  For each page do the following:
   1. Assign a "type" value from the drop down list.  The type value should match the content of the page.  If there is more than one type of content use the second through fifth type fields to assign up to five types.
   2. For front and back pages, edit the "title" field.  Add a descriptive title for the page after the notebook number.  Be sure to separate the notebook information from the page title with a comma.
   3. Check the "sequence" field.  The numbers should grow linearly in one sequence for the entire notebook.  If the current page's number is not one greater than the previous page, correct.
   4. Glance at the remaining filled in fields for errors.
   5. Click the "DONE" button.
   6. Navigate to the next page.

Use nb03 as an example.  I have done a few pages in this notebook.
