Hello Paula,

In order to enable the embargo feature for an out of the box DSpace you
should perform the following steps:

* Create or reuse 2 metadata fields to store the embargo information and
configure the following dspace.cfg fields:
   * embargo.field.terms: A possible metadata field to create for this field
is dc.embargo.terms
   * embargo.field.lift: A possible metadata field to create for this field
is dc.embargo.liftdate

* Add the embargo to the input-forms.xml document in order to add it to the
item submission steps. An example of how this can be done is the following:
   <field>
  <dc-schema>dc</dc-schema>
         <dc-element>embargo</dc-element>
         <dc-qualifier>terms</dc-qualifier>
         <repeatable>false</repeatable>
         <label>Embargo</label>
         <input-type>date</input-type>
         <hint> Enter the embargo date in this box. </hint>
         <required></required>
   </field>

* Schedule the execution of the embargo lifter on your server to run e.g.
once a day. To execute the embargo lifter, use the following command: *dspace
embargo-lifter -l*

I hope this is a sufficient answer to your questions.

Best regards,

Bram De Schouwer
