Connections
The third phase in uploading your content to DBL is the Administrative phase. This is divided into two parts:
- Connections
- Management
Connections help to make the content more discoverable by other DBL members and integrate the content with other systems and platforms.
There are two kinds of connections that can be added to a content item:
- Systems - connect to external softwares and databases
- Related items - connect to other content items in DBL
Systems
When you click on the Add system button, the screen will prompt you to enter information for the external software or database that is associated with this content.
In the selection menu for System name, you can choose from options like AVTT, Paratext, or Other.
Related items
Clicking on the Related items button will open a search bar to select from a list of published content in the DBL.
Click on the content item that you want to make a connection with your item, then click the Add related item button to save.
