<p>Hi Ben,<br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Yes, the refid rules have been implemented as a plugin. The documentation is here : <br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p><a href="https://github.com/archivesspace/archivesspace/tree/master/plugins/refid_rules">https://github.com/archivesspace/archivesspace/tree/master/plugins/refid_rules</a><br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>So, to enable this, edit the config/config.rb file to load the plugin (about line 102) : <br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>AppConfig[:plugins] = ['refid_rules', 'local']<br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Then, define the rule that you want to use in the config/config.rb. <br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>For example: <br>
</p>
<p>AppConfig[:refid_rule] = "<%= repository['repo_code'] %>_<%= resource['formatted_id'] %>_<%= SecureRandom.hex %>"<br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>This is using a templating languaged call ERB, so you can call variables with-in a <%= %> block. You can do something like:<br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>AppConfig[:refid_rule] = "Bananas_<%= SecureRandom.hex %>"<br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Which would generate a RefID like "Bananas_" + a randomly generated hexadecimal. <br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Does this make sense?<br>
</p>
<p>Let me know if you have any questions...<br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>best, chris. <br>

<div>Hello,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I see this made it into the newest release, <a href="https://www.pivotaltracker.com/s/projects/386247/stories/49569471,">https://www.pivotaltracker.com/s/projects/386247/stories/49569471,</a> but after a cursory search of the staff interface, I am unclear
how to actually go about using this feature. Any direction you can provide is appreciated.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks,</div>
<div>Ben</div>
