Edit an existing archival institution record


1. Navigate to the archival institution you want to edit.


2. Switch from view mode to edit mode by clicking the title bar or edit button; this takes you to the record's edit screen. On loading, the edit screen displays the record with all information areas closed; click on an information area to access the fields grouped under it.


3. Add / revise data as required.


4. To discard all changes, click the cancel button in the button block; ICA-AtoM returns you to view mode, with no changes saved.


5. To save changes, click the save button in the button block; ICA-AtoM commits the changes and re-loads the page.

  • Note that re-loading the page causes all information areas to close; this behaviour will be revised in a future release (post-1.0 beta) of ICA-AtoM (i.e. page will stay open as it was before save).
