[Archivesspace_Users_Group] "Primary" creator

[Custer, Mark]

This is the same technique that I've also used in the AT, and was planning to continue in ArchivesSpace.  As Sue mentions, it's definitely not perfect!  I don't know if a feature request already exists for this yet or not, but ideally a staff member should be able to state explicitly that Jane Schmoe is the "main entry," rather than attempt to rely on the ordering (and implement hacks to change the output).

You can just drag the field into position using the three bars at the extreme left of the field.  You can do that with notes, subjects, names, and instances.

Susan and Kevin:

Thanks for responding so quickly!

How do you designate a "first"?  How do you "order" the names?

Thanks!

Hi Kate,
I've been doing it implicitly by ordering the names. So the creator would be the first name with any others listed after and in alpha order.  Not perfect, but it seems to be the only way, given the limitations of the software.

Has any ArchivesSpace user determined a method to indicate the significant, primary a creator of an accession or resource? For example, if Jane Schmoe is the chief entity associated with the accession or resource, but there's a little bit of Eric Schmoe represented, I'd like Jane to be the "main" entity associated with a resource or an accession although I'd also like to Eric to be associated as well.  Is there any way that I could achieve this?

Thanks!

Kate
