On the top of the Details page, there are the following functions and buttons:

  1. “Do you need help?” button: Upon clicking this button, the user can read the explanation on the new features, “Magic Wand” and “Extract from Platform”.

  2. “Magic Wand” icon: Clicking on this icon fills at once the page with all available information from the MEL Planning section. The user can also extract available information and add it to single files when the icon of the “Magic Wand” is next to the chosen field.

  3. “Extract from Platform” icon: Clicking on this icon fills at once the page with all available information from other platforms such as CGIAR Repositories or Web of Science/Scopus when the Handle or the DOI, respectively, is provided in the previous step “Manage files”. In the case of the DOI, metadata will appear only if the article is indexed in one of the two repositories (Web of Science or Scopus).

  4. Metadata progress bar: It is a bar showing the progress in filling the form. It includes:

a. Basic metadata: The mandatory fields required to save the deliverable as draft.

b. Required metadata: The mandatory fields required to submit the deliverable.

c. All metadata: All the fields in the form.

5. Function buttons, such as:

a. “Manage Files” brings the user back to the previous page, where the file is uploaded.

b. “Save as Draft” saves the form as a draft so the user can continue to fill the form at a later stage.

c. “Submit” submits the metadata entry and creates the record in MEL.

d. “Close” closes the window.
