Adding Items to Post Cards
Use the Post Card to create two-sided views of an object. Once you have opened the Compound Object Creator, and selected Post Card from the list of object types, you will need to locate the images or items to include in your Post Card. (Refer to Getting Started if you need more information about opening the Compound Object Creator and selecting a compound object type.)
Click  Search from the Compound Object Creator toolbar.
The Search window opens. Click in the text box that corresponds to the field you wish to search. Begin typing a search term. As you type, a vocabulary list of terms is displayed at right, reflecting a partial list of metadata within the collection. You may type search words or double-click on a term in the vocabulary list to place the term in the text box in order to conduct your search.
If the word you type does not appear in the vocabulary list, this indicates that the word is not in the metadata and your search will produce no results.
To view an item that matches your search criteria, left-click on a thumbnail image in the results window. To add items to the post card, right-click on the thumbnail images in the search results window. The images will be placed in the active or red highlighted square in the Compound Object Creator window and the next portion of the card will be activated automatically. Activate a different side of the post card by clicking on it.
Up to two items can be added to a Post Card. Note: The Grab Set button is not available for use in creating a post card because your search results may produce more than two items.
To delete a single image, click on the image. A red outline appears to show that the image is now active. Click Delete. To delete all images, click Clear All. To view existing metadata for an image, click on the image to activate it then click Description. Another window opens to display the existing metadata of the image.
To view or create metadata for your compound object click the Post Card Description tab in the Compound Object Creator window.
See Creating a Description for your Compound Objects for more information on adding descriptive metadata.
