[Archivesspace_Users_Group] Parallel Expressions in Extents

[Maura Carbone]

Hi Joshua,
You have the option to have more than one extent expression on resource
items. I'm not entirely sure what you mean by 'recommended way' of entering
the data, but you could have a collection with three extent expressions: 1
for boxes, 1 for folders, 1 for cassettes, etc.

Is that what you meant?
