Hi All,

On DSpace 8.0, import metadata from an external source "ORCiD" is still not available on the list after integration settings were set in local.cfg and restarted Tomcat. ORCiD should be appearing on the list found on the screen below, is there any settings needs to be done for ORCiD to appear on the list?

Hi Lewatle,

By default, import from ORCID will only appear for the Entity Types "Publication" and "Person".  See the configurations here: https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/blob/dspace-8_x/dspace/config/spring/api/external-services.xml#L127-L149

My guess is you might be trying to import into a traditional Item (rather than an Entity) or don't have Entities enabled.  If you'd like to enable ORCID for traditional items,  you can add "<value>none</value>" to the list of "supportedEntityTypes" for that "orcidWorks" bean here: https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/blob/dspace-8_x/dspace/config/spring/api/external-services.xml#L127-L135

The "none" value means that feature is enabled also for traditional Items (which are "non-Entities" hence the "none" categorization).

Hopefully that helps!

Tim
