Select default templates


ICA-AtoM ships with default screen layouts ("templates") for viewing and editing archival descriptions, authority records and archival institutions. These layouts are based on the the following descriptive standards:


Viewing and changing default templates

1. Click the admin > settings tab.


2. Open the default template information area.


3. The name column shows the types of entities that are described in ICA-AtoM.


4. In the value column, select for each type of entity the descriptive standard you want to use to describe it.

  • The drop-down menu shows only descriptive standards for which data entry / viewing templates are available.


5. Click the save button to save changes.


6. When you return to viewing / editing information, the records will display in the templates you selected.


Adding new templates

7. Developers can also create their own customized templates and add them to their ICA-AtoM application. This involves, however, dealing directly with the application code and should only be undertaken by programmers familiar with Symfony and PHP. See developer documentation at the Qubit-toolkit website for adding customized templates to the application.
