[Archivesspace_Users_Group] Inconsistent Accession Identifer display

[Brad Westbrook]

Hi, Cassie, Chris, Mike, Joan, et al.

The issue described in this thread will be addressed in a new release forthcoming soon.  The user story is at https://www.pivotaltracker.com/story/show/64905804.  Basically, the accession identifier will no longer appear as part of the accession title.

I think you will also be interested to know that staff browse screens will be configurable to a degree.  See the user story https://www.pivotaltracker.com/story/show/51597537.

Cheers,

Brad W.

I had also sent in a request including some screenshots for what Mike is describing a few weeks ago, so I think it is on the radar somewhere.

I would agree that the preference would be to remove the number from the title display and rely on the identifier column. (and I also dislike the commas.)

The default separator for ID segments in Archon is a forward slash, so +1 for making these configurable. There may already be a way to do it, but I have not had time to research the issue.
