To build a collection, begin in the "Collection" tab of the Collection Manager. Click on the "New Collection" button and start creating the properties for that collection. You can easily edit these collection properties any time, even if a collection is already published and displaying in the LUNA Viewer.

Collection Properties:
Data Schema: This is a very important part of your collection building process. Each record in a collection will be based on the structure of the data schema you select. Every data schema is based on a data template. Use the pull down menu to select an existing data template. If you're just starting out and there are no templates to select from, go to the Templates tab and create one. After you save the collection properties you cannot change which schema is being used.
If you'd like to change or edit your data schema later on, click on "View/Edit schema" and edit the schema. Edits to a schema will not be made to the actual template you've selected; you're just making changes to a version that is attached to the collection. |

Category Fields- Who, What, When, Where: Drag and drop up to 20 fields into the Who, What, When, Where categories. These will be represented in the LUNA Viewer in the "Explore Categories" view, in the Advanced Search when searching across multiple collections, and in the narrow search feature.
(v7.2.5.0+) Additionally, if you have enabled Image Analysis (below), you can choose to map "Labels" to the What category and "Landmarks" to the Where category.
The Rebuild LUNA Viewer Index button should only be applied if changes are made to the settings for Who, What, When, Where category fields. Or, if you notice a discrepancy between the data in the LUNA Library and what's appearing in the LUNA Viewer. We recommend doing this during off peak hours |
The Rebuild LUNA Viewer Index button should only be applied if changes are made to the settings for Custom Single Field Facets. |
OAI-PMH Mapping: OAI-PMH is a protocol for sharing metadata and allows your collection metadata to be harvested by other repositories. Select a data field from the left hand menu and then select which of the Dublin Core fields you'd like to map it to. For more information contact Luna support.
Include Relay Button: The Relay Button can be used as a link from the Detail View to an external destination like a buy button or an in-context comment page. You can enable the Relay Button in the Collection Manager. This will create a button (previously the Buy Button) that appears at the top of LUNA when viewing an image. For more information contact Luna support.
Tip: To ensure your EXIF, IPTC, and XMP data is searchable within LUNA, be sure to check the boxes under the Search heading before uploading your Media Items. |
Rebuild Library Index button is v7.1.2+ The Rebuild Library Index button is only recommended in certain circumstances like when an upgrade requires it or Luna's support department recommends it. If you need to rebuild the Library index, we recommend doing this during off-peak hours. |
