CMS updates: addition of 'Creation date' to Query builder and changes to media download - May 2024

The VC team would like to take this opportunity to share two updates to the VC CMS:

'Date of creation' field added to Query builder

To assist users to search their catalogue, the Date of creation field has been added to the Query builder, so that this field can be included when creating a query. For more information about how to use the Query builder, check out our Knowledge Base video, 'Conducting a complex search'.

Changes to media download workflow

The workflow for downloading image-based media items from your catalogue has changed. Where previously clicking the media download icon generated a new tab that the media item could be saved from, clicking the icon will now directly generate a download of the media file. Depending on the web browser you are using and the specific settings you have in place, this process may differ slightly, and may include a media download dialogue box. This change is part of internal development work to improve technical efficiency of Victorian Collections, and accommodate more media storage.
