[Archivesspace_Users_Group] Customizable Staff-Side Interface?

[Chris Fitzpatrick]

Hi Jamie,


Well, I would say the interface is very customizable?, but it requires going in editing the source code and rebuilding, so it depends on how comfortable you feel doing that.


What you're looking to do would be in the these files:


https://github.com/hudmol/archivesspace/blob/master/frontend/app/views/resources/_form_container.html.erb

https://github.com/hudmol/archivesspace/blob/master/frontend/app/views/notes/_form.html.erb


The first is the partial for editing/creating a resource. The second is the partial for the resources' note.

You could modify these files to render out the note partials broken out as their own sections.


I can do an example of how this would work if you feel that rebuilding AS from the source.

Or do you think this should be a feature request?


best,chris.

How customizable is the back-end interface for ArchivesSpace?

I've been getting feedback from our staff and one thing which folks would like to change is the sidebar navigation present when creating new Resources.  It currently seems like about 3/4 or more of the collection-level information is dumped into the Notes. Is there a way to break more of these out?

Many thanks,
Jaime
