[Archivesspace_Users_Group] Digitization Work Order Plugin for filenaming

[Marci Hahn-Fabris]

Hi all,

Here at Wellesley, we are currently exploring using the CUID that is
created by the Digitization Work Order Plugin
<https://github.com/hudmol/digitization_work_order> for file naming.  We
have some questions about how it is working for people.  Some of our
questions/concerns are:

   - Is there a way to reset the serial #?  We would like to start with a 5
   digit ID, and right now it starts at 0.
   - Our Systems librarian would like to know where the serial # lives on
   the backend.
   - We are thinking of having our filenames be: Root (WCA for Wellesley
   College Archives), Collection number and CUID.  An example might be:
   WCA_3P_cuid1234_001.tif. Are people using the actual letters "cuid" in the
   filename?  Is there an argument for or against that? One plus I can see is
   you can search "cuid1234" and find the exact item/archival object.  But I
   know it can also be changed.
   - We also want to make sure the CUID is really, truly a unique ID, no
   chance of duplication?  We realized we can't manually add a CUID and then
   have the plugin recognize that, all CUIDs would need to be created via the
   plugin.
   - We also wonder if anyone has had problems with the plugin as they move
   to newer versions of ArchivesSpace?

thanks for any help you can give us!

Marci
