Edit an existing archival description

Edit an existing description

1. Navigate to the description you want to edit.


2. Switch from view mode to edit mode by clicking the Record title bar or Edit button; this takes you to the record's Edit screen. On loading, the Edit screen displays the record with all areas of description closed; click on an area to access the fields grouped under it.


3. Add / revise data as required.

  • See Data entry pages (UM-3.1.4 - UM-3.1.13) for detailed explanations and notes on fields.


4. To discard all changes, click the Cancel button in the Button block; ICA-AtoM returns you to view mode (View screen), with no changes saved.


5. To save changes, click the Save button in the Button block; ICA-AtoM commits the changes and re-loads the page.

  • Note that re-loading the page causes all areas of description to close; this behaviour will be revised in a future release (post-1.0 beta) of ICA-AtoM (e.g. page will stay open as it was before save).
