5. An Import Settings from UrL field will appear; enter the URL given below that applies to your situation (if in doubt, contact the Archives).

Customize your Transfer Profile

If you will be using DART regularly, it is a good idea to set your name, department and contact information as default values so that you do not have to re-enter this with each transfer. You do this by editing the Transfer Profile you installed above.

1. Open DART, select Settings > BagIt Profiles.
2. Click the profile you want to edit, e.g. SFU university records transfer.
3. Select the blue link Tag Files, then "bag-info.txt".
4. The BagIt Profile page shows a list of all "Tag Names" (i.e. fields) used in the profile; to set default values, click a tag name; in the pop-up window enter the value in the Default value field.
5. Edit the following fields and click the Save button for each.
   • Contact-Email: your SFU email address.
   • Contact-Name: your name.
   • Contact-Phone: your SFU phone number.
   • Contact-Position-Title: your job title.
   • Organization-Address: your SFU campus (SFU Burnaby, SFU Surrey, or SFU Vancouver).
   • Source-Organization: your department or unit name; give the full name, e.g. "Department of English" rather than just "English."
6. Click the Save button to save changes.

The next time you create a Transfer Package, the default contact information will automatically be entered.

To view / edit default information when creating packages, click the Show All Tags button on the Bag Metadata screen.
