Thank you for completing the Admin UI onboarding for the -test site!

From time to time you may notice issues or bugs in the Admin UI application. Always feel free to email any questions or bug reports to digitalinitiatives@library.utoronto.ca and UTL ITS will review.

This page will be periodically updated with Known Issues or Admin UI Features Not Yet Developed that ITS will review and, pending capacity, remediate or implement

List of Known Issues for the Admin UI -test site:

[the following items are under development from April-May 2026]

Ingest functionality and training is forthcoming
OCR/text edit is forthcoming
Collection hierarchy change is forthcoming
Defining the logic and Admin UI settings to LOCK a Repository from being edited by an Editor (forthcoming)
Validation for metadata with language fields is forthcoming
Items belonging to multiple parent collections is under review
Some cache issues with display of thumbnails following update

List of Admin UI Features Not Yet Developed

The following features are known requests for ITS to consider implementing into Admin UI pending capacity. These features will not be available in the Admin UI May 2026 launch and require future developer time, if available.

Search and filter within Admin UI
- During April 2026 feedback, some collection owners requested the ability to filter and search for items within Admin UI. Adding this feature to Admin UI is outside of the scope of Phase 1 of Admin UI development and beyond the development capacity available in ITS. While the utility of this feature is understandable, it somewhat replicates the public search that already enables collection owners to find items they want to edit or modify through the public Collections U of T front end search: https://collections.library.utoronto.ca/search?limitItemType=0
  - For now, while Admin UI does not have a search and filter feature, collection owners can use the public search page to filter and find items and sort through metadata. You can then login to Admin UI and navigate to edit any item from the URL path + the PID of the item(s) you want to edit:
    - ```
    https://collections-admin.library.utoronto.ca/objects/[pid]/edit
```
Batch update metadata via csv
- Batch ingest (batch uploading new items) is enabled in Admin UI for the May 2026 launch. However, batch update logic (batch updating images or metadata of existing items) requires further development time.
  - If your repository needs to conduct batch updates of metadata on a significant number of items, contact ITS for support. If the number of items is less than 50-100, it may also be reasonable you to simply use the Admin UI edit form to manually adjust your metadata instead of requesting batch update support.
