Subject: Re: [Archivesspace_Users_Group] ArchivesSpace 2.8.1 Edit Default Values


Is "Pre-populate Records?" checked in your own user preferences? User 
preferences take precedence over repository preferences, and both take 
precedence over global preferences. Initially your user preferences are unset, 
so a checkbox like "Pre-populate Records?" will appear unticked, but if it is 
enabled in repository or global preferences then it will work. However, if you 
edit your user preferences, for example to change the columns in a list view, 
when you click save that unticked checkbox means the feature will be disabled, 
for you, from that point on.


I do not think there is any way to return a user account to its initial state 
except by deleting a row in the MySQL database. It would be better if single 
checkboxes were replaced with three radio buttons labeled something like "Yes", 
"No", and "Use repository/global setting". Better yet, if admins could lock 
them into the last of those three, preventing users from changing them, then 
you could enforce policies like always user default values. But I suspect that 
would require a lot of work to implement and test.


Another thing to look out for is that default values are set up on a 
per-repository basis. So you can have "Pre-populate Records?" enabled in global 
preferences, but it will only actually work globally if all the repositories in 
your system have been set up with default values.

Hello,

I'm having trouble with the edit default values feature in 2.8.1. I'm trying it 
with Resource records, and it works in our current 2.7.0 version, but it is not 
working in the 2.8.1 version that we want to launch. I enabled Pre-populate in 
the global and repository preferences but our values still don't show up. I 
also tried the online sandbox 
http://sandbox.archivesspace.org/.
 Is anyone else experiencing issues with this feature? Thanks,

[Archivesspace_Users_Group] Webinar Announcement: An Introduction to ArchivesSpace v3.0 and the Expanded Agents Module

[Jessica Crouch]

Dear ArchivesSpace Users,

ArchivesSpace will be offering a webinar focusing on the upcoming ArchivesSpace 
v3.0 release and the expanded agent module functionality that is the exclusive 
focus of this update. While the required fields to create a valid agent record 
will remain minimal, the expanded agents functionality will allow for greater 
compliance with metadata standards used to describe persons, families, and 
corporate entities like MARCXML authority and EAC-CPF, facilitate better 
exchange with databases like LCNAF and SNAC and support better 
contextualization of agents by providing more ways to apply controlled access 
headings or information about the agent and their relationships.

When: January 13, 2020
Time: 2:00 p.m. – 3:00 p.m. ET (11:00 a.m. – 12:00pm PT)
Where: Zoom

Registration: https://lyrasis.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_Esz2CPatRWmDlRNqMeWlIA

In order to provide a secure webinar experience and ensure adequate space in 
our Zoom environment, registration is now required for our webinars.  Our 
webinars continue to be free and open to anyone using or interested in 
ArchivesSpace.

This webinar will be recorded and made available on the ArchivesSpace YouTube 
channel.

Webinar description:
In this webinar, ArchivesSpace community members will provide background 
information and context on the necessity of the new agents functionality made 
available in ArchivesSpace v3.0.  They will also discuss the benefits of the 
expanded agents module and why an institution may want to implement the new 
fields and sub-records.

After, ArchivesSpace Program Manager, Christine Di Bella will provide a demo of 
the new agents module with a Q to follow.

Who should attend:
Anyone currently using or considering using the ArchivesSpace agents module, 
those looking to better integrate ArchivesSpace with SNAC and LCNAF and those 
looking to better comply with metadata standards used to describe agents.
