7.3: Create view in Expert mode

In Expert mode, you can use the "Message Log" entry at the left to review previous attempts to build the collection, whether successful or not. Select the log you want by clicking on the desired date in the "Log History" list.

In this mode, a full list of import and build options are shown in the Import and Build tabs to the left. The various settings are controlled just like the "Configuring Arguments" window described in the Document Plugins section. Some fields require numeric arguments, and you can type these in or use the arrows to increase or decrease the current value (in some cases, the interface restricts the range you can enter). Others are enabled by clicking a checkbox (click again to disable).

For more information about importing and building read Chapter 1 of the Greenstone Developer's Guide -- Understanding the collection-building process.
