Create a keys file from a web page

Automatically extracting data from a web page (e.g. entry list) is one of the preferred ways to create a keys file. Joruna provides a wizard to streamline the process.

1. From the Joruna manu bar, click Keys file > Import from URL,

2. The first screen of the wizard appears, as well as the dialog box to enter the URL of ther web page to analyse. Click on the Import button to import the data.

3. The file is sent to Joruna’s server for analysis, the whole process lasts a few seconds. Note: there are ways to optimize your files in order to maximise the quality of the result, explained down below.

4. The result of the analysis is returned in a table, and should match the file you’ve sent to be analysed. From there, several actions are possible:

• Each column must be marked as a key or a keyword. Anything marked as key will be used later on as an identifier for the photos analysis (e.g. athlete number), as well as metadata keyword. Keywords are only used as metadata keywords.
• Rows can be deleted using the x icon on the left hand side of each row,
• Each column can be modified by clicking on the … icon:
  • Extract a substring of the column’s content by selecting text before or after a specific character,
  • Replace text,
  • Change the column’s content’s font weight: All caps, all small characters, caps on first word only,
  • Duplicate the column,
  • Delete a part of the column’s content.
• Click on the Next button to reach the wizard’s next step

5. Define what the legend is going to be:

   • Use the dropdown list to introduce the available fields from the columns from the previous screen. Any text can be introduced to complete the legend,
   • Select which of the IPTC/EXIF fields should be completed by this legend,
   • A preview of the generated legend is displayed for up to 5 photos,
   • Click on the Next button when done.

6. The automatic keys file generation ends here. The list of keys, keywords and the legend is displayed for further specific edition.

   • Use the action buttons to duplicate or delete a line,
   • Save the kets file with the Save button, or finish the whole process with the Finish button.
