[Archivesspace_Users_Group] Disappeared Accession Record

[Busch, Ed]

I would bet you need to do a re-index. We’ve seen things like that in the past occasionally.

Subject: [Archivesspace_Users_Group] Disappeared Accession Record

Hello colleagues,

We've been creating accession records for several years now, and had the strangest thing happen recently. We created an accession record, added an instance, and saved it. When we went to search for it using the identifier, we received a message that "No Records Found", and the same thing happened when we searched the barcode for the top container. When we tried to create a new accession record using the same identifier, the system said the identifier is already in use. We've been unable to locate this accession record! Any idea where it could be hiding? I've been using ASpace for several years and never had this happen, so I'm at a loss.

Thanks for any guidance! Worst case scenario we simply create a new accession record (for this one box collection!) with a new identifier.

Best wishes,
Katie
