Actions

Throughout Medici, you will find an "Actions" button that allows you to edit datasets; whether it's deleting them, editing their meta-data, or adding them to collections, you'll find it easier to organize your data more efficiently by selecting multiple datasets and doing a batch action rather than doing it one at a time. Once you have datasets selected, through either then Data, Collections, Tags, or even the Upload page, you can then perform an action on them by clicking on the "Actions" button on the upper-right corner and selecting which action you want to take (Note: If you don't have permission you won't be able to complete the action).

You can view which datasets you have selected by clicking the link next to the button that says "x selected datasets"; you'll also be able to create relationships between the datasets here.

Delete

This action will delete all datasets you have selected. A dialog box will ask to make sure you want to delete them first.

Download

All files will be archived into a ZIP file for you to download, you can give the file any name you want. Once you're ready to download, simply press the Download button.

Add / Remove Tags

You can tag multiple selected datasets using the Add tag(s) action. This action opens a pop-up with a text box and two buttons. Enter your tag(s) in the text box separating tags with with a comma. Use the Submit button to apply the tag(s) to the selected datasets, or use the Cancel button to discard changes and close the pop-up.

You can remove tags from multiple datasets using the Remove tag(s) action. This action opens a pop-up similar to the Add tag(s) action. Enter the tags that you wish to remove from the selected datasets, separating tags with a comma. Use the Submit button to remove the tag(s), use the Cancel button to discard changes and close the pop-up.
