Please note that ICA-AtoM is no longer actively supported by Artefactual Systems.
Visit https://www.accesstomemory.org for information about AtoM, the currently supported version.
Archival description: Physical storage
Main Page > User manual > UM-3 Add / edit content > UM3.1 Add / edit archival descriptions > UM-3.1.8 Physical storage
Use this link to:
- View the resource's current container / location
- Edit the resource's current container information
- Delete an existing container
- Assign to an existing container
- Create a new container and assign the resource to it
1. Go to physical storage edit screen
- In the archival description view screen click on the Link physical storage button.
2. View current container / location
- If the resource is currently assigned to a container, the containers section will appear.
- This shows the container name, its location, and its type.
- If the resource is not currently assigned to a container, this section will not appear on your screen.
3. Edit current container
- If the resource is currently assigned to a container and the container information needs to be updated (e.g. the type is not correct or the location has changed), click the edit icon.
- ICA-AtoM routes you to an edit screen for the container; change the Name, Location or Type as required and click the save button in the button block.
- ICA-AtoM returns you to the archival description and re-loads the page, closing all information areas. Re-open the physical storage area to view results of the edit; the containers area displays the updated information.
- Note that this action updates every resource registered to the same container; e.g. if 6 resources are registered to box D9, you need only edit box D9 once and the changes will be reflected in all 6 archival descriptions.
4. Remove a resource from an existing container
- You can remove a resource from a container by clicking the delete icon in the containers section.
5. Assign to an existing container
- To assign the resource to a different container or additional container, use the drop-down menu to select the container you want to use.
- When you save the record, ICA-AtoM will update the description.
6. Create a new container
- If the container you want to use does not appear in the drop-down menu in step 5 above, it is not registered in the system and needs to be created; use the create a new container section for this.
- Enter the container name, type, and location.
- When you save the record, ICA-AtoM creates the container and assigns the resource to it.
