UCSC Special Collections & Archives also supports AS-76. We are
experiencing a scenario similar to Harvard's.

>>
>> ·         The processing status and associated date were converted to

>>
>> ·         The conversion of processing status from a condition (or type)

>> piece of collection management information.
>>
>> *Detailed discussion of issues*
>>
>> There are three troubling issues associated with this change in
>> functionality.
>>
>> 1.       The first should be important to all archives: by converting
>> the processing status to an event, the ArchivesSpace developers have
>> changed the nature of the data. A status is not equivalent to an event,
>> although they can be related. There is one and only one “status” at any
>> one time, but there can be multiple events.  Events can lead to status
>> changes. For example, two “partially processed” events may or may not
>> lead to a status of “processed,” because it is entirely possible that three
>> or more processing events might be needed to conclude that the status of
>> the collection is “processed.”  In addition, some statuses may have no
>> relation to an event. For example “Unknown” is a possible processing
>> status.  Finally, how does an archivist identify “unprocessed” accessions
>> in this scenario? This is another “non-event”.  Are ArchivesSpace users
>> expected to run a report on all accessions and look for those for which
>> there is no “processing” event?  Since there are many possible event types,
>> this seems counter-productive and unnecessarily complex.
>>
>>
>>
>> 2.       The second issue is perhaps unique to Harvard albeit no less
>> critical. The Harvard AT-to-AS migration did not create event records based
>> on processing status. Instead, while our back-end data has processing
>> status in it, these statuses are, troublingly, not visible to staff.
>> Instead the processing status displays as “not specified” (Screenshot
>> 1). The same record in AT displays a processing status. (Screenshot 2)

>> 3.       Processing status is a critical piece of information that
>> should be available to archivists for reporting on their accessions.  In
>> Harvard's current ArchivesSpace environment is that it is not possible to
>> understand the scope and nature of our backlogs. The staff member who

>> number of unprocessed accessions.  While attempting to gather the same
>> information from ArchivesSpace, the staff member found that it was not
>> possible to achieve the same results with existing ArchivesSpace
>> functionality.
>>
>>
>>
>> It is essential to the Harvard University ArchivesSpace user community
>> that processing status be restored to its original functionality. The
>> restoration of processing status to collection management records would:
>>
>> ·         Allow archivists to report out on backlog and processing

>> ·         Assist archivists in resource allocation planning for grant

>>    record allows for the capturing of some metadata that would be less
>>    relevant to researchers, and consequently a place where additional metadata
>>    could be recorded outside of the aforementioned note field.
>>    - After examining our "processing status"  data and discussing the
>>    new functionality, we agree with Kate's observation that "events and
>>    processing statuses are not logical equivalents." Additionally, we also
>>    agree with Noah's comment "that a resource or accession will always have

>>    - Additionally, based on our examination, we do not believe that is
>>    ideal or logical to separate "processing status" from collection management
>>    records that still include: "processing priority", "processing plan", and
>>    "processors".
>>    - Our local workflows appear to be at a high level similar to what
>>    Carolyn has reported, and along with the data we had already created to
>>    take advantage of the previous functionality, we also preferred the
>>    simplicity of the processing status being a simple drop-down selection in
>>    the collection management records.
>>    - Based on our local use the processing status field, along with the
>>    current status of the ASpace tool, we found it much easier to report on
>>    collection status and to locate appropriate collections projects for our
>>    workers with the previous functionality over the current.
>>    - Finally, we also echo Kate's sentiment in that we do not understand
>>    why the new event features requires the removal of the processing status
>>    from the collection management records and consequently wonder if there is
>>    any reason not to have both?
>>
>> Due to the above points we are of the opinion that if the new event
>> features cannot be appropriately maintained while also having the
>> processing status functionality reside in the collection management
>> records, we would be in favor of a return to the previous functionality, or

>> Hi Kelly,
>>
>>
>>
>> During a previous release (v1.3), I think Processing Status was moved
>> from the collection management subrecord to an Event record.  Here is a
>> JIRA issue describing this change:
>> https://archivesspace.atlassian.net/browse/AR-827
>> <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__archivesspace.atlassian.net_browse_AR-2D827&d=CwMFAg&c=WO-RGvefibhHBZq3fL85hQ&r=wwc_Z_TbmWbPFh7My2zRxmrGgCNO-71Fwzlmd8YZVUY&m=KjdPV61xIn7OR7Ks9cg6HRC91WufUrZNTXFAT4skW8w&s=AZTgid9lXUTh7glUns7pyqqX7w28sAhx7rK3QIIMb8o&e=>
>>
>>
>>
>> Here are some specifics:
>>
>> Remove “Processing Status” Collection Management sub-record
>>
>> If data is present, migrate to Event record with these settings and
>> linked to same record collection management sub-record is linked to:
>>
>>
>>
>> Type = “Processing [Value in Collection Management Record for Processing
>> Status]”
>>
>>
>>
>> Date/Time Specifier = “Time stamp for last modification of Collection
>> Management record”
>>
>>
>>
>> Label= Agent relationship
>>
>>
>>
>> Type=Single
>>
>>
>>
>> Role=Implementer
>>
>>
>>
>> Agent=ID of agent last modifying the collection management sub-record
>>
>>
>>
>>
>>
>> So, if you previously had processing status in a collection management
>> subrecord, you might try browsing your event records to see if you can
>> locate that data.
>>
>>
>>
>> Hope this helps,
