OPUS Update for August 2020 - Specifying Metadata Fields in Table View, Index Files, STIS Fields

 This month we have a new feature in Table View and a few updates to the available metadata.

Selecting Metadata Fields (Part 2)

Last month we added the ability to select metadata fields while in the Slideshow View. This month we added the ability to do the same thing while in the Table View. To add or remove a field, simply hover your mouse over the table header. A small toolbar will appear below the field you've selected. Clicking on the trashcan icon in the middle will remove the field from the selected metadata fields. Clicking on the + on the left or right of the toolbar will allow you to add a new field before or after the selected field.




Index Files as Downloadable Products

We have added our own PDS3 metadata index files ("RMS Node Augmented Index", "Supplemental Index", and "Profile Index") as downloadable products. As these are probably not needed for the average user, they are not included by default when downloading the cart contents. At the same time, we made some other product types (such as small preview images) not download by default as well. You can always explicitly select these product types if you want to include them in your download. Note there is only one set of index files for a given observation regardless the number of data versions available.







STIS Metadata Fields

We have added a new field for HST STIS: STIS Proposed Aperture Type. We have also corrected some errors in the normal Aperture Type for STIS.



As always, we thank you for using OPUS and appreciate your feedback, comments, or questions.
