This shows the container name, its location, and its type

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 page 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 view page

This action updates every resource registered to the same container; e.g. if six resources are registered to box D9, you need only edit box D9 once and the changes will be reflected in all six archival descriptions.

You can remove a resource from a container by clicking the delete icon in the "containers" section

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

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
