Add a new top level description
- In the main menu, hover your cursor over the "Add" menu.
- Select "Archival descriptions" from the drop-down menu.
- ICA-AtoM takes you to a blank edit page for data entry.
- On loading, the edit page displays the record with all information areas closed; click on an information area to access the fields grouped under it. Enter data as required.
- You can quit the create process at any time by clicking the "Cancel" button in the button block; no new record will be created.
- Click the "Create" button in the button block to save the new record.
Add a new child description
Create new child records in one of two ways:
- In the archival description view page, click the "Add new" button in the button block; this will create a new description that is one level of description below the description currently in the view page. When the record is saved, you will be able to see the new child records in the context menu. Navigate to the descriptions to add data as needed.
- In the archival description edit page, in the identity information area, enter the relevant data under "Add new child levels". Note that you can add as many levels as needed at one time; for example, to add multiple series to a fonds or collection, fill in the fields and add as many series as desired. When the record is saved, you will be able to see the new child records in the context menu. Navigate to the descriptions to add data as needed.
