[Archivesspace_Users_Group] Configuring barcode digits?

[Alexander Duryee]

Rachel,

It's an undocumented feature in config/config.rb.  You'll need to add the
following line, swapping our values for yours and expanding as needed:

AppConfig[:container_management_barcode_length] = {"MSS" => {:min => '14',
:max => '14'}, "THE" => {:min => '14', :max => '14'}}

Note that this uses the repository code to match the validation to its
repository.  If a container has no barcode, it automatically validates -
for our case, barcodes must be exactly either 0 or 14 characters long.

(Code here -
https://github.com/archivesspace/archivesspace/blob/master/common/barcode_check.rb
)

Hope this helps,
--Alex
