- There are separate list screens for each of the main entity types in the system (archival descriptions, authority records, archival institutions, terms).
- Displays minimal information about each record (e.g. Title).
- Clicking on the field names in the column headers will sort the list alphabetically.
- By default, ICA-AtoM lists records 10 at a time, providing pagination at the bottom of the page to allow users to navigate through long lists of records. Administrators can increase or decrease this default number (See UM-7.4.1 Administer ICA-AtoM > Customize settings > Customize global settings).

- Provides add new button to create new record of same type.
- Accessible to all users, but add new button not available to researchers (view-only access).

- Displays an individual record in full in view mode (read-only).
- Shows only fields that contain data.
- Allows user to click title bar or edit button to switch to edit mode (data entry on edit screen).
- Accessible to all users, but edit button not available to researchers (view-only access).
Edit screen
