Done. Cataloging: Accession number: Made up of six subfields or parts. Need to calculate a read-only Accession Number from those parts.
Done. Adapt 2-3 PAHMA web apps for move support. They will be doing a pre-move inventory and then staging moves to other locations.
a) Done. In scope: Keep as is - Collection Item and Acquisition have a 1:1 relationship. Acquisition information is redundant, and you can't get the overall acquisition very easily, though we could write reports based on Gift #.
b) Done. Modest effort: Set up Acquisition procedure to be for overall transaction (multiple items). Create some item-specific acquisition fields on cataloging, and treat them as overrides. Reports could be written that get item-specific information when it exists, or get the information from the Acquisition procedure when the item-specific field is null.Cataloging: Location information displayed read-only on Detail tab. Note that Current Location will be displayed on Cataloging. Options: a) derive and display read-only Current Sub Location and Location Purpose fields, b) Done. display Current Sub Location read-only on Cataloging (not too hard since we do this for PAHMA crates already), c) show how secondary tabs currently work to access that information.
Done. Reports and extracts: Identify a modest set of reports and data extracts. Develop a few canned reports, plus help from Orlando on extracts and reports. Counts --- maybe via a web app.
Done. Data: Measurements: Probably need to reconcile some issues with measurements (legacy and new fields) and plenty of parsing, especially if calculating a summary field.
Cataloging: Measurements: Automate metric-English unit conversions
Data: Parse hierarchical relationships for CASC project (create Broader Context relationships).
Data: Places: Convert text in Origin/Place on person authority to a Place authority (might be needed for LFM/FML name calculation)
Text Labels (for exhibitions). Incorporate Exhibition authority and Presentation procedure from Walker once adopted by CollectionSpace.
Text Labels: Allow text formatting of label text (currently these texts are sent to someone to someone with other software for printing labels?)
Simplify reporting on search results. Might need to build ability to run reports from search results (might not be too bad). Might need to build checkbox capability to filter search results (probably really hard especially if pagination comes into play).
Data: Subjects/Themes: Currently a drop down but could be converted to authority
Data: Style/Period: Currently a drop down but could be converted to authority
Cataloging
Need a few fields, e.g., Date In (unless part of Acquisition), Number of Scans, Subjects/Themes, Part Of (unless decide to parse those as hierarchical relationships for CASC)
Collection: Will need to be repeating (like PAHMA)
Copyright: Add four basic fields (copyright credit, copyright holder, copyright notes, permission checkbox)
Period/Style: Reuse CSpace Style field and tie to dynamic controlled list.
