Three main reasons, in descending order of importance:
1. At the top of the record so easy to see at a glance 2. Easier to query in a report 3. More ephemeral, so less inclined to go to the trouble of navigating subforms to enter that information -k From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Christie Peterson Sent: Tuesday, January 02, 2018 2:37 PM To: Archivesspace Users Group Subject: Re: [Archivesspace_Users_Group] Processing notes Thanks for the quick response, Kevin. Is there any particular reason why you use that note field, instead of the Collection Management subrecord, for that purpose?

The idea is that if the actions listed in the Repository Processing Note get taken, we remove the text that’s there. We have a report that pulls the information from that field for review that we run periodically when setting processing priorities: https://github.com/duspeccoll/archivesspace_reports/tree/master/resources/resource_processing_notes_report -k From: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> [mailto:[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>] On Behalf Of Christie Peterson Sent: Tuesday, January 02, 2018 2:28 PM To: Archivesspace Users Group Subject: [Archivesspace_Users_Group] Processing notes Hello, Can anyone on this list speak to what was intended to go in the "Repository Processing Note" text field for Resources, which the tooltip tells me does not appear in any exports or reports? Can anyone give me a use case for why they populate this field in addition to (or instead of?) an unpublished "Processing Information" note?
