If you have more than one package you want to create in the Knowledge Base, you are able to use a specific template in which you can
state which packages should be created via a template that you may download in we:kb. By filling out the individual fields for each of the
packages you would like to create and by uploading the template afterwards, all the packages mentioned in your template will be created
automatically.
NOTE: It is also possible to create a single title for each of your packages. Please note the fields publication_title, publication_type, title_id
and title_url (see explanation below).
Click on Create – Packages and und Upload Packages in the upper right corner:
Now you are able to download the package template that you can then use to fill out for your own packages:
Fill out the fields within the template to the best of your ability – the more information you already fill in, the less manual labour you will have after the packages have been created. A definition of all the template fields can be viewed on the Package batch processing page but a more detailed description will be given here:
General package information
package_name: choose names for all those packages you would like to create via the template
provider_uuid: copy in the UUID of your own Organisation (or of the Organisation you want to name as the provider of the package). You can find the UUID in the Organization record in we:kb when you scroll down right to the end of the record:
nominal_platform_uuid: copy the UUI from the Platform record in we:kb to connect the package you want to create with the corresponding platform. You will find the UUID of the platform by also scrolling down to the end of the platform record of the platform you want to add to the package

Save the template you filled out with all the relevant information (tsv, UTF-8 coded) and click on Durchsuchen and Upload to create the packages.
Your packages will now be created. If you have packages for which you added a source_url and selected Yes for automated_updates, the titles from your KBART file will be uploaded to the package during the night.
