[Archivesspace_Users_Group] Fields not appearing in public view

[Steven Majewski]

I can see the logic of some those fields being perhaps for internal use only. 
( We do currently display sponsor info, but description_rules, for example, seems like something for internal tracking. ) 
I don’t get the use case for controlling visibility by finding_aid_status = “completed” . 
So far, it’s just been a puzzling inconsistency. 


[ Initially, we will probably export EAD to XTF for public display, and just use the AS public view as an additional 
staff view for non-editors. At least until we’ve worked out all of the kinks in import/export/migration, and learned
how to customize and brand the public interface. ]
