Re: [Archivesspace_Users_Group] Show more than 10 results in Instances dropdown

[Wisner, Melanie]

Just type in the number you want, not “box”. If it exists, it should show up 
for you to select.
cheers,

Subject: [Archivesspace_Users_Group] Show more than 10 results in Instances 
dropdown

When I type box into the top container field in an instance, the results only 
show the first 10 (i.e., Box 1, Box 2, etc.). If I want to enter anything above 
box 10, I have to browse for it, which is becoming time-consuming and tedious. 
I feel like there must be something I'm missing. Any help is appreciated!

Thank you,

[Archivesspace_Users_Group] ArchivesSpace release candidate available - v2.1.0_RC2

[Christine Di Bella]

Dear ArchivesSpace members,

Thank you so much to all who submitted feedback on v2.1.0-RC1. Your efforts 
have helped us identify and address a number of bugs and performance issues 
prior to the production version of this major release.

Because a number of issues were addressed throughout the application, we have 
decided to make an additional release candidate available for a very short 
period of time. V2.1.0_RC2 
(https://github.com/archivesspace/archivesspace/releases/tag/v2.1.0_RC2) is now 
available for download and testing purposes. Please email me directly with any 
issues or questions.

Thanks again for your efforts and feedback. Barring unforeseen issues, we 
expect the production release of 2.1.0 to come out next week.

Christine

Re: [Archivesspace_Users_Group] Quick Question about Migrating from Archon 3.21

[Brian Harrington]

Hi Rob,

It looks like the manual is out of date.  The latest version of the 
ArchonMigrator tool https://github.com/archivesspace/ArchonMigrator supports 
1.4.2 (the last release before the container management features were added).  
Other than that, I would say you have the right approach.  Archon -> ASpace 
1.4.2 -> the current version of ASpace.  I do this semi-regularly, and it works 
well.

Now for the geeky questions. :-)

Brian

Re: [Archivesspace_Users_Group] Quick Question about Migrating from Archon 3.21

[Luers, Christina]

Hi Rob,
  We are migrating from Archon to Archives Space as I type.  It has not been an 
easy endeavor mostly due to inconsistencies in how we entered collections.  For 
instance, if your container lists do not have either a title or a date (they 
just say box 1, for instance), then they will not transfer properly and the 
migration will fail.  We have found that with our +7000 collections, it has 
been best to export the Archon container lists into a spreadsheet.  (we used 
Yale’s set up for that) and then we are all working to fix and fill in the 
missing metadata.  This is just phase I of our migration process.  Essentially, 
what I am saying is that we have found no easy way to move from Archon to 
ASpace and have discovered that if we export our metadata into EAD and 
spreadsheets for container lists, it makes for a much easier time of getting 
our metadata into ASpace.
  Good luck with your migration and please let me know how it is going for you. 
 Maybe we can learn a thing or two from you and also share fixes as you move 
into ASpace from Archon.

Sincerely,
Tina Luers

Hi!  No difficult geeky questions, I promise!

I'm leading my University's effort to bring Archon content into ArchivesSpace, 
and see that the migration manual is intended for moving from Archon 3.21-rev2  
to ArchivesSpace 1.0.4.   I'm thinking the most prudent approach will be to 
install ASpace 1.0.4 on our servers, do the migration, and then update to 
ASpace 2.0.x.

From your guys' experience, is there anything dumb / misguided / foolhardy / 
horrifying about that approach?  Just want to cover my bases before committing 
to this approach...

Thanks!

Re: [Archivesspace_Users_Group] Suppression of Agent Headings Within Digital Objects

[Kennedy, Nancy]

James -
Have you looked into the "publish" checkbox?  I believe that only the agents 
set to 'publish' will appear in the PUI. (Sidebar: I'm curious about why you 
want to retain the duplicate heading, rather than merge? "Publish" would impact 
all occurrences of the agent, so if you needed to display the 'other' version 
in some cases, I think this won't work).

Efficiently applying the "publish" setting could be a larger question, of 
course.. As would making it user-friendly to your staff, as it is not always 
easy to tell which agents are published.

For what it's worth: exports do seem to include the unpublished agents, so if 
that is important to you, you'd need a different approach. You're focusing on 
DO here, but for example,  I notice that the EAD exports do include unpublished 
Agents, regardless of 'include unpublished' export option.

Subject: [Archivesspace_Users_Group] Suppression of Agent Headings Within 
Digital Objects

Is there a way to suppress Agent headings without suppressing entire Digital 
Objects? We have encountered some problems with duplication of Subject/Agent 
headings, and we thought this could be alleviated by suppressing select Agent 
headings (which we want to retain), but if there is a straightforward way of 
doing this without suppressing entire digital objects (which we don't want to 
suppress) the method is eluding us. Are we missing something obvious?  Any 
suggestions would be appreciated.
