Hi Phil and all, I answered Phil personally on this one forgetting I had put it on the forum. I am answering here in case it is of help to other users. The ability to create hierarchies of concepts is a very powerful feature in Arches and one we would have liked to use for cultural period on our Egyptian sites inventory but our problem is that we have about 15 cultural periods, 31+ dynasties and 188 rulers and these are only the important ones! This would create an enormous drop down list which is confusing to users and difficult to manipulate. I know it can be searched but the rulers names are similar and you would need to check you had the correct dynasty etc so for the sake of user friendliness we are going to try the separate input fields and authority files approach. We hope to restrict the drop down list of dynasties to those relevant to the cultural period etc. Lucy
