Overview

This gap analysis outlines functionality that is available in our current CMS and that is required by PAHMA collections management and registration activities, but that is neither currently available in CollectionSpace nor on the CollectionSpace v2.0 roadmap. It does not include a list of fields that will need to be added unless they exhibit behavior not supported by CollectionSpace.
