An item set is the container for the content on a site.

Each image, video,  text block, etc that you want to include on your site is created as an item then becomes a part of your item set. Before you can start building your site, you should have the majority of your content ready to add to an item set.

An item set will be created for you along with your site. It is possible to create more than one item set, although there may be more useful ways to organize your content.

• View Your Item Set
  1. From the left menu bar click Item Sets.
     • Along with your item set, you will also be able to see item sets for the public sites of other users at Oklahoma State. When your site and item set are set to private, other Omeka S users at Oklahoma State will not be able to see your content.
     • The eye icon indicates whether your item set is private or public. Click the pencil to change this setting once your site is ready to go live.
