Import Candidates and OrganisationsImport Candidates and Organisations

What

When you enable an import source (e.g. Scopus) under automated search for an organisation, how are the import candidates handled?

How

On the Search for import candidates cron job (Administrator > Jobs > Cron Job Scheduling) you can set a configuration for 'Maximum number of publications to include in result' (under Configuration > Job configuration > Default Configurations). Note, this number cannot be set to more than 500.

When you open the list of newly found candidates and import a selection you can then reset the search and start the job again. The job should then run and again find 500 candidates (or the number included in the 'Maximum number of publications to include in result').

Please note:

• Prior to 5.26.1 the Search for import candidates cron job would subtract the imported candidates from the total number set in the 'Maximum number of publications to include in result' configuration (.e.g if set to 100 and you imported 5 candidates the job would then only search for 95 rather than 100).
• The fix for 5.26.1 and higher is for all sources except Web of Science (WoS). Due to the way WoS counts API lookups, we can not fix that source the same way as the other sources has been fixed, so that will be done as part of PUREDEV-29529 (Internal ticket).
