Hi All,

We currently have a document library on our website, however we have had feedback from customers that its not easy to navigate.

As a result we are exploring the possibility of using our Open Data Portal as a home of a new “Technical Library” containing 200+ pdfs etc of supporting documents. Now it seems that after about 80 additional attachments I cant add anymore. 

As a DNO, we are very cautious around data security so essentially I need a solution where the documents can be stored on the Portal itself in an ideal world, because using options like github, sharepoint etc arent really viable as getting permission would likely be a dead end.

Anyone got any ideas or examples of similar resources? Potential to spilt the attachments over multiple datasets but that becomes a bit of a nightmare to maintain/police

Thanks

Ryan

    Hi Benwa,

     

    To clarify, the feedback from customers was directed at our Company website, not our Open Data Portal! We are looking to replace our website resource in this instance with something on the Portal.

    Essentially we want to have a list/index of 200+ files ( mostly PDFs ), and was wondering how we can store these files. If i try to add them to one dataset as additional exports, i seem to hit a limit of around 60

     

    Thanks

    Ryan

    Hi Ryan,

    Thanks for your answer.

    In your Huwise portal, you can create a dataset with media files (Link to the user guide)

    You can define some metadata for each document with the CSV file in the archive and this metadata can be used to filter the dataset with the defined facets.

    Do this solution answer to your need? 

    Regards

    Hi ​@Benwa ,

     

    Thanks for that, we have managed to make the start of a technical library, I have however run into a slight snag while attempting to make a custom view to have more readable columns etc. In other attempts we have always used a URL link in this code so im not sure how to edit to work while a “File” type? ODP PDF Test — Open Data | Northern Powergrid

     

     

    Thanks

    Ryan
