This section of the Manual provides step-by-step guidelines for adding, editing and deleting content in ICA-AtoM. It is organized by the main types of records contained in the system:
+
<div class="note">
−
*[[UM-3.1|UM-3.1 Archival descriptions]].
 
−
*[[UM-3.2|UM-3.2 Authority records]].
 
−
*[[UM-3.3|UM-3.3 Archival institution descriptions]].
 
  
 +
The procedures all assume that you are authenticated and that your [[Glossary#User account|user account]] has sufficient [[Glossary#Access privilege|access privileges]] for the actions described.
 +
* [[Glossary#Contributor|Contributors]] can create and edit descriptions
 +
* [[Glossary#Editor|Editors]] and [[Glossary#Administrator|administrators]] can create and edit descriptions and publish and delete descriptions
 +
See [[user roles]] for more information on the different [[Glossary#User role|user roles]] in ICA-AtoM. Note that in a [[Glossary#Multi-repository system|multi-repository system]], a user's edit and delete access may be limited to records originating from his or her own institution.

Every description record includes a "Description control area" which is the same across the three main types and is outlined separately:
+
</div>
−
*[[UM-3.4|UM-3.4 Data entry: description control area]].
 
  
 +
There is no requirement to create records in any particular order. But when an institution or [[Glossary#Network|network]] installs ICA-AtoM application, the first record(s) that should be created are always the [[Glossary#Archival institution|archival institution]] records for all the repositories that will contribute descriptions to the system. These institutions will then appear in the drop-down list in the "Repository" [[Glossary#Field|field]] when creating [[Glossary#Archival description|archival descriptions]].

For each of the main types of record, the procedures include the following sections:

'''1. How to create new records'''

[[Category:User manual]]
−
*Similar for all record types.
 
−
 
 
−
'''2. How to edit existing records'''

*Similar for all record types.

'''3. How to delete records'''

'''4. How to exit the Edit screen'''

Because sections 1-4 are all similar for each record type, there is considerable repetition across types. Note that the procedures all assume that you are logged in and that your user account has sufficient access privileges for the actions described.

*[[Glossary#Editor|Editors]] and [[Glossary#Administrator|administrators]] can in addition delete descriptions.

*[[Glossary#Researcher|Researchers]] have no create, edit, or delete privileges; this section of the Manual is not relevant to these users.

There is no requirement to create records in any particular order. But when an institution or [[Glossary#Newtork|network]] (union list) install an ICA-AtoM application, the first record(s) that should be created are always the [[Glossary#Archival institution|archival institution]] records for all the repositories that will contribute descriptions to the system. These institutions will then appear in the drop-down list in the Repository field when creating archival descriptions.

This section describes how to add, edit, and delete content in ICA-AtoM:

The procedures all assume that you are authenticated and that your user account has sufficient access privileges for the actions described.

See user roles for more information on the different user roles in ICA-AtoM. Note that in a multi-repository system, a user's edit and delete access may be limited to records originating from his or her own institution.

There is no requirement to create records in any particular order. But when an institution or network installs ICA-AtoM application, the first record(s) that should be created are always the archival institution records for all the repositories that will contribute descriptions to the system. These institutions will then appear in the drop-down list in the "Repository" field when creating archival descriptions.
