Hi Ben, 





Yes, the refid rules have been implemented as a plugin. The documentation is here : 





https://github.com/archivesspace/archivesspace/tree/master/plugins/refid_rules 





So, to enable this, edit the config/config.rb file to load the plugin (about line 102) : 





AppConfig[:plugins] = ['refid_rules', 'local'] 





Then, define the rule that you want to use in the config/config.rb. 





For example: 


AppConfig[:refid_rule] = "<%= repository['repo_code'] %>_<%= resource['formatted_id'] %>_<%= SecureRandom.hex %>" 





This is using a templating languaged call ERB, so you can call variables with-in a <%= %> block. You can do something like: 





AppConfig[:refid_rule] = "Bananas_<%= SecureRandom.hex %>" 





Which would generate a RefID like "Bananas_" + a randomly generated hexadecimal. 





Does this make sense? 


Let me know if you have any questions... 





best, chris.

Hello, 

I see this made it into the newest release, https://www.pivotaltracker.com/s/projects/386247/stories/49569471, but after a cursory search of the staff interface, I am unclear how to actually go about using this feature. Any direction you can provide is appreciated. 

Thanks, 
Ben
