In July I added an accession record to ArchivesSpace and added instances to it. I looked at that accession record on several occasions after that.
Two weeks ago I looked at our ArchivesSpace accession records to gather statistics for our annual report and discovered that the accession record mentioned above no longer displayed in accessions browse view and was not returned as a search result when searched for. The linked instances do still show up in search results, but the system says they are not linked to any other records.
If I try to add a new accession to the system with the same ID number it tells me it cannot add the record because that identifier is already in use. I have confirmed that the original accession is still listed in the accessions table in the backend database.
Does anyone have thoughts as to why this record was showing up in the staff interface but now is not? I have not run into this issue with any other records of any kind. The indexer appears to be working; changes we make- deletions and additions- are showing up in the staff interface.

Do you have an example of the update you'd like to make? Can you send an
example of the code you're using to update the resource, as well as the
error you're receiving?
Best, Jason

Hello ArchivesSpace members,
ArchivesSpace is seeking proposals from individuals or firms interested in providing development for a limited scope project to add functionality to the container management area of the application. We are prioritizing this work for engagement of an outside contractor based on expressed interest from a number of members, including one that may have funding to pay for it. Please feel free to forward this RFP on to people you think may be interested and qualified to do this work.
We are asking that people please email proposals to me (christine.dibella at lyrasis.org<mailto:christine.dibella at lyrasis.org>) by October 27, 2017. Proposals should include a proposed action plan, pricing, timeline, names and contact information for at least two client references, and examples of relevant work in ArchivesSpace or other applications. If people have questions about the RFP, feel free to send them my way as well. Laney can answer technical questions about the application and how delivery of code would work.
Issuing RFPs for specific projects is another strategy we are using to diversify our pool of available developers and continue to making substantial forward progress on the application. If you have any questions, or if you have suggestions for projects that may be particularly appropriate for this type of treatment, please just let us know.
Thanks,
Christine

Hi Christine,
Thank you for sending this. It seems like an exciting project, and many of the listed features are much-needed. I wonder, though, about the advisability of adding the "ability to create top containers independent of specific material records" - https://archivesspace.atlassian.net/browse/AR-1874. You can already do this via the API - in fact, you have to create unlinked top containers before you can link them to material description records. This is less than ideal, as it adds extra steps to the process - after creating the top containers, you then have to pull those top container URIs and link them to the material descriptions using a different endpoint.
If the goal is to create top containers in bulk (and then link them to descriptions) via the staff interface, wouldn't it make more sense, as the JIRA ticket above notes, to add that ability within a material description record or RDE (https://archivesspace.atlassian.net/browse/AR-1873), rather than to enable the potential proliferation of unlinked containers? It seems like this could lead to all kinds of confusion and messy data in ArchivesSpace, especially if there are multiple unlinked containers with the same container profile, indicator, etc. I think it might be better to solve the underlying issue rather than write a workaround into the application.
Alicia

Not Displaying

Hello everyone,
It appears accessions that have a linked agent record are not displaying on the Agent's individual page in the public interface. All collections associated with the agents, whether as a source, subject, or creator, do display on the agent page as Related Collections and/or Records-just not accessions. I have made certain the accessions in question are enabled for publication and discoverable in the public interface via search/browse, so it's not that the accessions are hidden from public view. I've highlighted an example in the attached screenshots where an agent with 13 linked accessions/collections combined in the database gives the false impression there is only a single collection associated with that agent when landing on the agent page.
Any chance I'm missing something? Or is there a reason accessions do not appear on an agent page? Purdue would like to see published accessions also appear on the page of an agent in the public interface.
We're using version 2.1.2.
Thank you,
Neal
