[Archivesspace_Users_Group] question about customizing search features in the ArchivesSpace PUI

2020-01-07 Thread Steele, Henry
Good afternoon, I work at Tufts University in cooperation with the Digital Collections & Archives. I am working on various changes to the public user interface. Many of you helped with questions before, which were a great help! There's a change we want to make to search results. I suspect

Lydia, No, we definitely did not lose any data like that. Any data that is already part of the record is posted back to the system as is, same as when you edit a record in the staff interface (i.e. if you change a title of a component, you don’t lose any notes associated with that record once

Re: [Archivesspace_Users_Group] Sorting Top Containers by indicator inaccurate?

2020-01-07 Thread Wendler, Robin King
Hi, You may remember I previously asked about problems with sorting Top Containers search results by Indicator. A developer here identified the code that governs this sort. He describes it thus, lightly edited: It seemed like they were sorting by length, but they're actually doing some

Bo, Our approach was pretty similar to the approach that you linked to, in that the whole process is primarily broken down into three main steps: * Extract and merge the data (in our case, primarily from ASpace and our ILS, Voyager) * Compare and prep the data in a spreadsheet format

Hi Mark, Thank you so much for your feedback -- this is very helpful. And yes, your observations re: where our barcodes exist are correct: · ArchivesSpace has all of our granular location info (room, row, range, shelf data), but no box barcodes · Our ILS has the box barcodes, b

2020-01-07 Thread Brian Harrington
Hi Don, We saw this error recently with a resource that shared a top container with another resource. Since top containers are scoped to repositories, when you transfer a resource ASpace moves its top containers to the new repository. But if a top container is linked to another resource in th

Bo, This sounds like a very tricky / fun project! Though I have not gone through the exact same scenario, I have gone through a process of matching containers in finding aids with item records in corresponding MARC records in an ILS. As with most problems of this type, I suspect that you will
