Dear all,


Description and instantiation are different things. Describing the content is 
not equal to what boxes the content ends up in. Correct? But something isn’t 
making sense to me.



I wanted to describe a collection at the series level, so in the instances, I 
chose my top container, but I have four boxes for my first series, so my 
container type is “Box” and I put 1-4 for my indicators, but this doesn’t 
calculate four document cases, does it? Doesn’t it only calculate 1?



But if I make four instances, that looks stupid. See below.

It also results in a finding aid that looks like this:

If I do this:

I’m really describing at a file level, which I don’t want to do.



What am I not understanding?

Sincerely,
