Choose a category for your files
You can choose from four different categories:
- Documents – consent forms. This feature allows you to digitally link consent forms with the correct images.
- Images – photos and illustrations.
- Logotypes & Graphics
- Videos
Tips when entering information about images
- Check the box Clean filename as title.
- The information you enter follows the image to Drupal and makes it searchable for others. The better the information about the image, the easier it is to find.
- If you upload multiple images at once, add all common information for the images at this step.
- Read the help texts if you are unsure how to fill in the information.
Fields to fill in before starting the upload
All fields marked with an asterisk (*) are mandatory. Fill in as much information as possible as this “tagging” makes the image searchable.
