There are 2 ways to change the document type of an existing record -

  • Clone an existing document -
    • Click the More Options icon against the appropriate record in Browse or View Record mode
    • Click the Clone Selected Record link
    • Select the appropriate Destination Collection etc in the Clone Selected Record form
    • Click the Clone Record button
    • Edit the new record as required. Be aware that there may be some loss of data if there are discrepancies between the old and new XSD displays
    • Click the Submit for Approval or Publish button as appropriate.
    • Delete the original record/object if necessary.
  • Change the xsdis_id in fedoraAdmin -
    • Access the FezMD datastream of the record you wish to change
    • Change the xdis_id value to the value of the new document type. Ensure you use the FOXML xdis_id for the appropriate document type, not the MODS or DC xdis_id.
    • In Fez, reindex the object.
