<div>Hi Brad,
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">I’m glad I brought this up! Personally I think it would be great if the finding aid status had some functionality. With AT we were able to do this based on the xslt stylesheet, which enabled us to make display decisions about processed and unprocessed
collections. Would it be possible to have some kind of discussion about this?</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Thanks,</div>
<div class="">Sue</div>

I had no idea this was the case. The list for finding aid status is completely configurable by a repository manager. Typically that would mean all the values are purely descriptive and do not drive functionality in the application or in downstream systems. <span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></div>

But I see that is not really the case. A resource lacking a value for finding aid status displays in the Publc UI like this:</div>
<div class="" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size:11pt; font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">

</div>
<div class="" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size:11pt; font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">
Whereas the same resource description with the finding aid status encoded for “Completed” displays like this: </div>

I can’t explain the presence of this functionality you have discovered. You’re right that the functionality is not explained in the user documentation. It’s also not traceable to the resource specification, which represents the list as being only descriptive:</div>

also cannot find a development ticket accounting for the functionality, unless it is an unintended effect of something else such as<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><span class="" style="font-size:10.5pt; font-family:Arial,sans-serif; color:rgb(51,51,51)"><a href="https://archivesspace.atlassian.net/browse/AR-705" class="" style="color:purple; text-decoration:underline"><span class="" style="color:rgb(59,115,175)">AR-705</span></a>

</div>
<div class="" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size:11pt; font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">
So why this functionality is there is a mystery to me, but it does seem clearly tied to the value “Completed”. </div>
<div class="" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size:11pt; font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">
</div>
<div class="" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size:11pt; font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">
So should this functionality remain as it is, in which case, the controlled value list has to be modified so that “Completed” cannot be deleted or merged into a different value? Or should the behavior now associated with the value of “Completed” in the finding
aid status element be true for all front matter whenever it is present and not be tied to the value in finding aid status? Indeed, should not the finding aid status value itself be added to the displayed front matter?</div>

Some background: all our AT data was migrated to a LYRASIS hosted instance of ArchivesSpace, and the AT statuses were included in that migration. We have continued to use them because they are meaningful to us, but I just discovered yesterday (the day we went
live) that the ASpace statuses actually have a meaning! Since we are now going to have to use them, I’d like to know exactly what all of them do (the only one I am sure of is Completed, which means all front matter appears in the public display of a resource
record).</div>
