Hi Daniel,
We built a report that includes, among other things, created/modified
date/user for all resources. We also include some other info that's useful
for us, such as external links, user defined fields, and collection
management data. Post-lockdown, we also added scopenote and bionote
information to aid in targeting remediation efforts. The data retrieved
from the AS API and written to a Google sheet by a script on a nightly
basis. The Python code is here:
https://github.com/cul/rbml-archivesspace/blob/master/reporting/resource_reporter.py
You would need API access and possibly some developer support, but this is
an alternative to modifying any AS code.
We took this approach both because these were the tools we knew (Python,
Google sheets, scripts), and also because we are hosted -- this keeps our
AS instance clean and easy to upgrade.
