Imagen offers numerous ways to ingest/onboard your content, when you want, and how you want.
Possible Options Available for Your Archive Migration
Take a look at the table below to see which option(s) might work best for you:
Option |
Advantage |
Disadvantage |
| Imagen Web Upload | Probably the quickest, easiest, and most intuitive - a great option for manually migrating small archives | A broken Internet connection may disrupt file uploads, which could be problematic with larger file sizes |
| Ideal for selecting specific files stored in your OneDrive account | The XML Import Widget and API are far more performant options when ingesting multiple Media files | |
| Great for selecting specific files stored in your Dropbox account | ||
| Allows you to import media stored on a publicly accessible (or IP Locked) HTTP(s) server | ||
| Import one (or many) records where media metadata is stored in XML files - perhaps with a link to ingest the Media from an HTTP(s) server | Imagen XML format must be used for this Widget (check out the Mapping Files & Imagen XML schema for more information) | |
| Ideal for almost any ingest scenario | This requires an understanding of API calls (REST/Curl etc) and might require some custom development |
