In the Multimedia Resources Tab, part of the Edito application, you can create, modify or delete multimedia resources. Besides, resources can be associated with concepts or even add new files of different languages to an existing multimedia resource.
Note that multimedia resources must have a description in the same language as the user interface, or in the neutral language, in order to be well shown in the multimedia resource tree.

Modify Resources Tab
This tab contains the multimedia resource tree on the left; the resources list showing the resources filtered by the selection done, in the central zone; and the details of the chosen file, in the panel on the right.

- Type
- The type of the multimedia resource.
- Language

In this tab, you can add multimedia resources to the database one by one.
First, you have to select the source directory where the images are, using the button with the folder icon or you have to write the complete path in the text field placed for this propose.

To confirm a new resource addition (or the translation to the selected language), you have to press the Add button at the bottom of the panel.
Note that the multimedia resources shown in the list of the edition panel depend of language that you have chosen for the file. Furthermore, you are not able to add more than one file of the same language to one particular multimedia resource.
Add Batch Tab
In this tab, you can add many multimedia resources to the database at the same time.
In the same way as in the previous case, you have to select the source directory where the images are. Then, when the multimedia files of the selected directory are shown, you have to select the desired ones by using the Control key (Command on Mac), plus left-click on the mouse to individually select files, or you can use the Shift key instead of Control, to select a range of consecutive files. When all the desired files are selected, you have to choose in the right panel the options that will be used in the batch process:
- Language
- The language in which the resource can be used.
- Concepts
- By checking this checkbox, new concepts for each new multimedia file will be created (if they weren't exist) using the file name for the new concept's name. In addition each new multimedia resource will be associated with the corresponding concept.
- Relations
- If you check this checkbox, the default relations "begins with", "contains" and "ends with" will be created when the concept is saved. That will only happen if the Concepts checkbox is also checked.
The last remaining step is press the Add button, so the task will be performed adding the batch of multimedia resources to the database.
