File-Object: Setting for Copyright Selection Workflow

1 Initial Problem

If copy rights are activated in an installation, the list of possible copyrights in the upload dialogue can become very long and confusing. However, this list is relevant if you want to encourage users to select the licence early on in the creation process. However, there is also the

2 Conceptual Summary

To counteract this problem, a new setting is being introduced in the administration, which globally determines how the licence selection workflow should take place:
- when uploading files or creating file objects (as before)
- afterwards via the metadata tab

If you select the setting that you want to select licences afterwards in the metadata tab, the licence selection will no longer be displayed in the upload dialogue. The file object then behaves in the same way as other ILIAS objects in the magazine, i.e. the licence is specified via the metadata tab.

If the Copright-Selection is disbled globally (Service deactivated), the Options get disbled as well:

The setting would be set to ‘During creation’ by default (e.g. when updating to ILIAS 11 or reinstalling), which maintains the previous behaviour.
