Thanks Alison and Chris for responding so soon, it's great to know that advice is at hand as we take our first baby-steps with configuring Arches.
At the moment it's largely the mechanics of how I use branches to link resource models - I just can't seem to figure that bit, though I imagine it's an easy thing to do - Alison, I'll wait to hear from the team your end on this once the holidays are over. Chris, that's really good to hear that HE is basing some of its resource models on MIDAS - how best might I discuss this with Phil (who I've met briefly)? I wonder whether Phil and I could schedule a very quick Zoom call this week where I can share my Arches Designer screen and he could give me some pointers? The drive here is to start editing our records in Arches in late Sep, so as you can tell, I'm keen to get us at least able to populate some of the MIDAS Information Groups as resource models on Arches, and build from there. Baby-steps as I say... Thanks again both, Jude.
