Please note that ICA-AtoM is no longer actively supported by Artefactual Systems.
Visit https://www.accesstomemory.org for information about AtoM, the currently supported version.

Use this link to:

  • View the resource's current container/location
  • Edit the resource's current container information
  • Delete an existing container
  • Assign to an existing container
  • Create a new container and assign the resource to it



View current container/location

Edit current container (step 3 above)

If the resource is currently assigned to a container, the "containers" section will appear.

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

If the resource is not currently assigned to a container, this section will not appear.


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.


Remove a resource from an existing container

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.
