<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif; color:#1F497D">We are still working on our PUI implementation locally, but I believe it should be possible to set your ArchivesSpace configuration options to display a composite
identifier rather than just the immediate CUI level/value. This would prevent having to reenter data for each component, while providing a public view of the whole string. With the composite identifier option enabled, rather than displaying "Item 1" in the
linked example, it should appear as "2012-07-0 Series 1 Sub-Series 1 Item 1" at that item level. The delimiter between the different levels' CUIs and the optional inclusion of the level of description is also configurable. Instructions are available in the
roll-out documentation at <a href="https://archivesspace.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/ADC/pages/103209762/Public+Interface+Documentation+for+staff#PublicInterfaceDocumentation(forstaff)-CompositeIdentifierInheritance" id="LPlnk628503" class="OWAAutoLink" previewremoved="true">

<p class="x_xmsonormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif; color:#1F497D">Thank you all for bringing up this topic. At Purdue (we are using version 2.2.1 at the moment), we do use the CUI to help distinguish the intellectual arrangement;
this has proven very helpful in search results and has eliminated confusion we encountered after our migration from Archon. We use the CUI to note Collection #, Series #, and Sub-Series #, with notes of File # and/or Item# if necessary. Basically, by doing
this a researcher or staff member can “drop” themselves into the intellectual arrangement of the resource and know where they are really quickly. We’re not using the EAD outputs at this time.</span><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif; color:black"></span></p>

<p class="x_xmsonormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif; color:#1F497D">I would also like to join Maggie and Lydia in noting the idiosyncratic way the Level of Description displays in Instance top containers. From my experience—and
someone please correct me if I am wrong—the CUI/Level of Description only displays in the Instance when Series is selected as the Level of Description. I also wonder if this is intended behavior? As noted by Maggie and Lydia’s screenshots, this can become
a long string of text. Furthermore, it then is exported into the public interface-generated PDF output under Summary Information container info (see attached on page 3). This gives a greater importance to a Series than other aspects of the collection. I do
not believe it is necessary to note the Level of Description/CUI the Summary Information here, as it those details are visualized and recorded elsewhere to greater effect.

<br>
<br>
Regarding the first question: I'm wondering if other institutions are using the CUI to record information like "Series I" or "Subseries 8.4"? And if so, are you happy with how the CUI exports in the EAD? As far as I understand, the CUI field exports in EAD
as <unitid> which comes after the title <unittitle>. Maybe this is specific to our practice, and it's something that could also be fixed with a stylesheet, but it seems like it would make more sense for the <unitid> to precede the <unittitle>, if it is indeed
intended for information like "Series I" or "Subseries 8.4". Then the result in the EAD would likely display as "Series 1 Correspondence". If institutions are not using the CUI to record "Series 1", are you including that in the title field? Or not noting
series and subseries numbers at all?<br>
<br>
Relating to the second question, as you said the top container field pulls and displays both the Level of Description (if it is "series") and the information in the CUI, so it results in top containers like “Series Series X". Is this the intended behavior?
My inclination is that displaying this information in the top container does not make sense and is not helpful, especially in cases where containers belong to multiple series. I tested it with adding a box to four different series and it lists all four in
the top container (see attached screenshot). Are others experiencing this and accepting it/ignoring it?<br>
<br>
Any help is much appreciated!<br>

Hi all,<br>
I’m passing along a question for a friend and then have a set of slightly related questions of my own:<br>
<br>
1. I am trying to find a way to have a series identifier code appear on the finding aid. The Component Unique Identifier does not appear to print, and the only examples I have come across have just added Series 1 to the beginning of the series name as in:<br>
Series 1. Athletic Council records, 1903-1975. Does anyone use the Series code on your finding aid, and if so, where do you add it?<br>
2. My question: I have a legacy imported collection which uses the Series info in the CUI. It displays as “Series Series X” in the top container field. Sorry if I’m stating the obvious, but this label pulls the first “series” from the level of description
– only if it is at a series level (I tried changing it to subseries and other smaller levels) and the rest is free text from the CUI. When there are materials from more than one series are shared in a Top Container, it lists off possibly up to two series
(it didn’t seem like it listed off 3 or more, but I might have been confusing myself). I am not sure that Staff Interface recommendations by SIEWG touched on the CUI, so I wanted to ask:<br>
* Would it be helpful to have a publish function for the CUI? Just trying to imagine it, it would be an established default setting with a check box to manually change.<br>
* Is displaying the information in the Top Container the most efficient/logical place - especially in cases of extensive intellectual arrangement of items belonging to multiple series sharing a container? There is a JIRA relating to CUI display:
<a href="https://archivesspace.atlassian.net/browse/ANW-279" target="_blank" id="LPlnk70929" previewremoved="true">
https://archivesspace.atlassian.net/browse/ANW-279</a> Does this resonate with the broader membership (you all)?<br>
* Is deriving a portion of the label from the level of description for the CUI universally helpful? How about in cases of electronic file names or labeling physical objects with the corresponding scanned object identifier? Alternatively, would enabling
this action for smaller levels of description (sub-series, file, item, etc), be helpful?<br>
I’m just trying to wrap my head around it, so any feedback/clarifications are greatly appreciated!<br>
