The Settings menu is accessed via the top right hand corner of the Dashboard. In this menu you can set default information about Copyright Holders, Web Contact and Invoice details.

By inputting this information into the Settings menu you ensure that you do not have to re-enter these details for every collection. The default options can also be edited within these pages if required. Follow the links above to find out further information about each field.

Please enter details about who is the default copyright holder of your collections. This may include the original author or the organisation who is responsible for creating the content. If you have multiple copyright holders, additional information can be added on the People & Organisations page.
