First installation

If this is the first installation of the plugin, the following configurations can be made in GeoNetwork. These configurations will be persisted at every update of the system.

  • Import the predefined templates available in the plugin. Navigate to Admin ❯ Metadata & templates ❯ Metadata & templates. Select the profile and click Load templates. These templates are loaded into the database and are used when creating new metadata records using this profile.
  • Verify the templates have loaded correctly by creating a new record using one of the templates.
  • In Admin ❯ Metadata ❯ Schematron (de)activate those schematrons which are not relevant to your use cases. Also consider to activate schematrons conditionally. The profile contains a set of rules which is meant to be set as `warn only**. Users will be notified of a potential problem, but it will not lead to rejection of the record.
