[Archivesspace_Users_Group] [EXTERNAL] Re: Editing display columns for Collection Management in AS

[Suszczynski, Jeffrey]

Thank you, Andrew - this is most helpful!  I may investigate the API, depending on what I hear back from our staff, but will certainly add an issue to have the ability to customize those columns.

Thanks again, much appreciated!

Subject: [EXTERNAL] Re: [Archivesspace_Users_Group] Editing display columns for Collection Management in AS


The collection management columns are set up here:

https://github.com/archivesspace/archivesspace/blob/master/common/config/preference_defaults.rb#L91-L97<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__github.com_archivesspace_archivesspace_blob_master_common_config_preference-5Fdefaults.rb-23L91-2DL97&d=DwMD-g&c=kbmfwr1Yojg42sGEpaQh5ofMHBeTl9EI2eaqQZhHbOU&r=5Lyy5Q6URKF-FYd-MMPgRcVtIpCrHnHsWhGjyxojRgbFJAQGHSSkwsPgEHCArFy1&m=rxG2AMBrz8KrkCgaDqKAK_Lb1VzYpyDut2zYdfYnY6o&s=MscH_gPEnqnGcDJAuj7oY5Et20M71mlOmYcQQcChHjU&e=>

But that is not a file you can edit in a production instance of ArchivesSpace. It sets the defaults which can then be overridden. However, the staff interface does not include collection management columns in its UI for doing so.

If you have an urgent need to change the columns, you could probably use the backend API to override the defaults. I've never tried it myself, but it looks like you'd need to find the ID number of the preference record for the repository you want to change, download its JSON data structure, add those seven collection management browse columns reconfigured however you wish, and send it back. But you could only add the following: processing_funding_source, processors, publish (true/false), audit_info (created/last-modified).

Otherwise, you could raise an issue<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__archivesspace.atlassian.net_projects_ANW_issues_-3Ffilter-3Dallopenissues&d=DwMD-g&c=kbmfwr1Yojg42sGEpaQh5ofMHBeTl9EI2eaqQZhHbOU&r=5Lyy5Q6URKF-FYd-MMPgRcVtIpCrHnHsWhGjyxojRgbFJAQGHSSkwsPgEHCArFy1&m=rxG2AMBrz8KrkCgaDqKAK_Lb1VzYpyDut2zYdfYnY6o&s=H9CAdF-3FnZ8Yt8JCgqYorex8DLlI2qtFWUl0WPoqgI&e=> requesting future versions of ArchivesSpace either have the ability to customize collection management columns via the staff interface, or to change the defaults to include what you think is missing.

Andrew.

Hello, everyone –



We are trying to modify the columns that display in Collection Management (Browse ==> Collection Management … We’ve looked in various places within the web admin interface, as well as the most often-edited configuration files on our AS server, but thus far have not been able to find where these columns are set.  For reference, here is a screen shot from our web admin interface:

Does anyone know where we might make changes to this display?  Hopefully it’s something simple that we overlooked – thanks in advance!
