Hi all,

1. I would like to report a possible error in the Resources data manager, 
heritage resource input form, Site summary section:

Firstly, when you input the resource name you have to enter the primary 
name first and then other names in that order for the primary name to be 
used as the name of the resource and for the primary name  to appear on the 
map. Is this correct? I believe in older versions of Arches, the primary 
name had a special meaning and would be always be used as the name of the 
resource. 
Secondly, if you forget to enter the names in this order and try later to 
edit the resource to correct it, you must delete the resource and start 
again, it is not possible to simply delete the names and input again 
putting the primary one first. This does seem to make sense as I can see 
that the resource name would be difficult to simply amend. Is this how 
Arches is supposed to work? 

2. Location:  when inputting the location, by adding geometry to the map, 
it is not possible to view the longitude/latitude  so it is impossible to 
locate a place correctly. I realize that most users will enter the 
coordinates in batch mode or by using the .gpx file but it might be useful 
to have that information there.  

3. Description:the text box for inputting the description only appears if I 
have set up 3 description types, these can be any, I believe. We only need 
one type, and it seems strange that you need to put in three. Also, when I 
copy the text from an Excel file, it is not possible to reformat the text, 
so it appears just as it is in the file, a narrow, long entry. 


Thank you, Lucy
