Supporting Modules

 Add comments
 

Six supporting modules will allow for the creation of  supporting records that sit in many-to-many relationships with accession resource, resource components, digital objects, and digital object component records.   The supporting modules will allow users to create, edit, and delete the following record types:

* Location records are linked to accession, resource, resource component records as a combined linked record and sub record. For example, each of the defined locations may be linked to one or more resource component records, but part of the link will have certain attributes (such as notes) that are specific only to the particular context in which it is linked.

    On the topic of Name records, will AS have a place to record notes under the contact information? I did not see this referenced above, but I may have overlooked it. We’ve found the notes field to be a useful feature in AT, since it allows us to record notes about conversations with potential donors, essentially creating a virtual lead file. I’d love to see something more structured than notes (date of contact, ability to upload digitized supporting documents etc.), but at the very least adopting AT’s free text notes field would be great.

      Additionally, in a consortial setting, having contact information specifically on a name is problematic. Contact is a relationship between a repository and name. For example, two repositories may have different specific contacts at the same auction house.
