Quality Control Reports
- Kristi Park
TDL-hosted DSpaces provide ways to query repository contents and metadata for quality control puproses via the REST-based Quality Control (QC) Reports in DSpace 6.x.
These reports utilize the DSpace REST API to provide a Repository Manager with
an overview of their collections (using the Collection Filter)
a tool to query metadata for consistency (called the Query Tool)

Note: The Google Sheets export shown in the demo video are not available yet in TDL-hosted repositories because of changes to Google apps since the tool was developed. For now, you may export results as CSV only.
How to access the QC Reports
The QC Reporting tool can be accessed at [REPOSITORY-URL]/rest/static/reports/index.html (e.g. https://tdl-ir.tdl.org/rest/static/reports/index.html)Â
You can toggle between the Query Tool and Collection Filter using the link at the top of the screen.
Note that you do not have to log in to use the QC Report tool. However, some information may not be available unless you are logged in as a Repository Administrator.

What’s a REST (or RESTful) API?
These tools were developed by Terry Brady, formerly of Georgetown University.
