    About Deposit Activities

    A deposit activity is a set of files that a Producer Agent deposits or saves for future deposit. A deposit activity, for example, can be 150 scanned pages of a book along with 150 thumbnail files that are used for previews.
    Producer Agents manage deposit activities using the Web-based interface. The interface provides information about each deposit activity, including deposit activity status, the reason for return or decline, or the description of a problem. In addition, the interface enables the Producer Agent to perform a number of actions on a deposit activity. For example, the Producer Agent can deposit draft deposit activities or resubmit returned deposit activities.
    The actions that Producer Agents can perform on a deposit activity depend on its status. The Rosetta system stores the deposit activities in folders according to their statuses. (For more information, see Deposit Activity Folders.)
    The Producer Agent is kept informed of the status of the submission through e-mails that are automatically generated by Rosetta at particular points in the review process, such as when the submission is received by the Rosetta system or when part or all of a submission has been rejected. Producer Agents may receive notice when their material is approved and placed in a permanent repository. This is configurable (see Adding an E-mail Confirmation in the Rosetta Configuration Guide).

    Deposit Activity Folders

    The deposit activity folders enable Producer Agents to manage content submitted to the Rosetta system.
    Producer Agents can work with the following folders:

    Drafts Folder

    The Drafts folder contains deposit activities that Producer Agents have saved but have not yet deposited. Deposit activities in the Drafts folder can be edited by a Producer Agent. For example, a Producer Agent can add files, remove files, or change descriptive information.
    Producer Agents can perform the following actions on deposit activities in the Drafts folder:

    Submitted Folder

    The Submitted folder contains deposit activities that have been deposited and are waiting for review by a Staff user. Deposit activities in the Submitted folder cannot be edited by a Producer Agent.
    Producer Agents can perform the following actions on deposit activities in the Submitted folder:

    Returned Folder

    The Returned folder contains deposit activities that Staff users have reviewed and returned to the Producer Agent due to technical or non-technical issues with the content. Staff users can either return the entire deposit activity or specific files only:
    • An entire deposit activity can be returned if the descriptive metadata is inaccurate, if some files are missing, or if the access rights are incorrectly defined. Producer Agents can replace and resubmit the individual returned files.
    • Individual files can be returned if the file is corrupt or the image quality is poor. Producer Agents can replace and resubmit the individual returned files.
    Producer Agents can perform the following actions on deposit activities in the Returned folder:

    Declined Folder

    The Declined folder contains deposit activities that have been declined by a Staff user. Producer Agents can view the declined deposit activities. In addition, Producer Agents can view the Staff user’s reason for, and explanatory notes concerning, the decline. Deposit activities in the Declined folder cannot be edited or deleted by a Producer Agent.
    Producer Agents can perform the following actions on deposit activities in the Declined folder:

    Approved Folder

    The Approved folder contains deposit activities that have been approved by a Staff user. Deposit activities in the Approved folder cannot be edited by a Producer Agent.

    Viewing Deposit Activity

    Producer Agents can view deposit activities in each folder. Some information is common to all the folders. For example, all deposit activities have a title, type, and date of creation. All activities also have a link to view a specific item’s submission history. See Activity History.
    In addition, some folders provide data that are specific to the deposit activity status. For example, deposit activities stored in the Returned folder contain a reason why the deposit activity was returned by the Staff user along with explanatory notes from the Staff user.
    To view deposit activities:
    1. Log on to the Rosetta Deposit system. The Deposit Activities page opens.

      • Deposit Activities list, to the right of the folders pane, displays deposit activities that are stored in the selected folder along with information about each deposit activity.
        A problem description is displayed in the Returned and Declined folders only. This field contains the reason why the deposit activity was returned or declined by the Staff.
