Lisa,

The snippet you provided below looks fine.  Can you attach an example EAD file?

Given the error about the "indicator" missing, though, it's possible that the 
file has an empty container tag in the EAD (e.g. ).  If so, that would likely cause an error since every 
top container requires a container indicator (e.g. "1", from your EAD snippet).

It also seems like the error is saying that the container element in question 
has a "class" attribute, which it shouldn't (although that should just be 
ignored by the importer), but it's impossible to say without seeing the full 
EAD file.

Unfortunately the import error message won't give you a line number in the EAD 
file, but if you have specific ID attributes in your file, that can really help 
to hunt down the errors.  For instance, if you added something like 
id='amitheproblem_1' to the first container element, id='amitheproblem_2' to 
the next, etc, then when the ArchivesSpace importer hits the first error, it 
should return that ID value after the "In:" part of the message.

Mark

Subject: [Archivesspace_Users_Group] Importing container list


Hello all!



I am importing a container list using a brief EAD and I keep getting the 
following message:



!!

IMPORT ERROR

!!

The following errors were found:

  indicator : Property is required but was missing

For JSONModel(:top_container):

 #"top_container", 
"active_restrictions"=>[], "container_locations"=>[], "series"=>[], 
"collection"=>[], 
"uri"=>"/repositories/import/top_containers/import_4ba44ff1-d7a5-4818-aa78-25d4150a6ca9",
 "type"=>"box"}>



In :

 <container class="cdata" label="Box" 
type="box"> ... </container>

!!



Here is what one of my containers looks like:

America  1956-1981  11 
  



I can't tell what "property" I am missing?  I have imported a lot of container 
lists using this method and have had no issues.  Did something change that now 
requires me to add an additional "property"?  Please advise.



All the best,



Lisa

[Archivesspace_Users_Group] Export container list?

[Lisa Crane]

Hello all!

Has anyone been successful in exporting a container list in CSV or Excel from a 
Resource in ASpace?  I am looking for a list of box numbers (one column); file 
folder numbers (another column); file folder titles (another column); and date 
expressions (another column).

Does anyone know how to do this?  Can it even be done?

All the best,

Lisa

[Archivesspace_Users_Group] Bilingual finding aids and agents

[Lisa Crane]

Hello!

I am in the process of putting together my first bi-lingual finding aid �C 
Chinese and English.  I am interested in hearing how anyone in the group 
working with bi-lingual finding aids might create their Agents in ASpace?

I had thought about creating two agents �C one in English and one in Chinese �C 
and linking both to the resource.  I also thought about creating a single agent 
(using both English and Chinese) and somehow try to “force” the formatting as 
follows:

Creator (personal name):  Shen, Jialin = 沈家琳 (artist)
Creator (corporate name):  Shanghai People's Fine Arts Publishing House 
(SPFAPH) = 上海人民美术出版社 (publisher)

Of course, each of the creator’s above would be a single agent, but display 
both English and Chinese.

Does anyone have any experience with this?  Do you have any 
ideas/suggestions/best practices?  I look forward to hearing from you!

All the best,

Lisa
