Admittedly, it was July that I last updated one of our EDG Collections, but when I went to update it today (now using EDG 7.0.3) I no longer find the Manage-Clear menu option, which I used to use before, followed by Settings-Import to upload the latest version (also no longer present).

I have looked through the 7.0 documentation but clearly not in the right place, because I can't find how I'm supposed to do this now. Could you point me to the right document?

Thanks,

Steve

That sounds like a permissions problem where you do not have Editor or Manager privileges OR maybe you need to clear browser cache as you have a mix of old and new EDG JS code running. 

Manage/Clear and Manage/Delete are still there.

There was never a Settings/Import feature so not sure what you mean with that - Settings/Includes perhaps? 

Imports is a tab on its own with Import RDF File, etc.

Cheers,
David

Interesting. I logged into our server as the administrator, which always worked before. Also tried with Chrome and Safari in case of caching. No dice.
Do you think a restart of EDG would work? Or even more nuclear, a reboot of our server?

I'll keep digging...

Hi Steve,

Suggest looking in Log and see if you find anything there. I’m afraid this is beyond my server skills. 

Cheers,
David

If it was a permissions problem, Steve would not be able to see the Manage tab.

As David said, all these options are still there. I can’t think of a reason as to why they would not be shown other than someone deactivated them for this asset collection by using Manage>Configure Features.

However, such disabling has no effect on the Administrator user, they would still see all the features. A more “permanent” disabling could be done in SWP code.

I looked at the Manage>Configure Features page, and every feature is enabled for this collection.

I just tried looking at some of my Data Graph collections, and indeed, the Manage>Clear and Manage>Delete options are there, as is the Import tab. So it is something to do with the (one) Ontology collection we have, but not the Data Graphs.

...and here's a view of the EDG Permissions page, showing the SHACL Schema Customizations collection, which is the ontology

I don’t think it is related to permissions. 

Try creating a new ontology to see if features appear there.

Yes, the menu options appear with a new ontology.
Any way to repair the existing one, or should I just recreate it?

There is a setting for read-only on the manage tab. If checked then those options are removed. The collection should also be read-only in the editor. Is this the issue?

That setting is indeed set.

That was the issue, because I just tried setting it on my new collection and the options again disappeared. Somehow, I had been trying to configure things so that users with view only permissions could not make changes to the ontology. I suppose that is already enforced by virtue of the view role?

Yes, viewers can’t make changes
