<font size=2 face="sans-serif">Hello,</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">From what I understand working with
AS, agent records only link back to 'collections' if the agents name is
included in the top record of the collection that denotes all the finding
aid data, etc.. If this is in fact true, it seems like a shortcoming, since
it would be ideal to see all the records created by or associated with
the agent when one enters an agent record based on the agent being linked
to such records. I have agents linked with most of the archival and digital
object records I have created, and none of this information shows up on
the PUI ... only the collection the agent is related to when the agent,
again, is additionally linked to the top collection record. </font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">I am responding because I would like
to see it otherwise if possible. </font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Best regards,</font>

<br><font size=2 color=#004080 face="Calibri">I am working on a collection
that gets heavy use by genealogists. I am weighing out including names
within the archival description for files versus creating agent records
and linking them to the files. However, in this test, I noticed that agents
associated with archival objects are not linking back to the collection
on the public interface:</font>

<br><font size=2 color=#004080 face="Calibri"> </font>
<br><font size=2 color=#004080 face="Calibri">Under Related Collections
it says No Records. </font>
<br><font size=2 color=#004080 face="Calibri"> </font>
<br><font size=2 color=#004080 face="Calibri">Based on perusing the new
PUI test site, I *<b>think</b>* maybe this is something that is just not
working now that will be fixed when it gets released? Could anyone confirm
this?</font>

<br><font size=2 color=#004080 face="Calibri">I am in the midst of designing
a project for students that is supposed to start in a week – I’d like
to have them create agent records, but not if it won’t display correctly?<br>
