[Archivesspace_Users_Group] Export resource records to Excel

[Nick Richbell]

Good morning, List:

I am new to ArchivesSpace and am slowly figuring this out. One thing I need some help with is whether I can export a resource (all of the collection) to Excel? I've tried to find a solution but have had no success. 

Any advice will be gratefully received!

Thanks, Nick

Have you tried the bulk updater plug-in? I honestly don’t recall if its been added to the core code yet. But that will allow you to download a spreadsheet of a single resource. However, there are some sub-records you will not get in that. That’s a development issue. Wendy Scheir from New School is behind that plug-in!

 

Cheers,

Sarit, Nick,

 

The bulk updater has been added to the core code. I don’t recall the exact patch, perhaps 3.2. For the subrecords issue, I’m actually working on a new utility right now that will be able to help with that in a few weeks. Once I have something capable of doing these exports, I’ll build out the documentation and put it all under a release tag in the following repo where I’m working.

Thanks for sharing a link with a sneak preview of the data utility you’re building, Channing. This sounds like a really useful project and it’ll be great to hear more when you’re ready.

 

(Just to limit confusion for people reading this thread, I should point out that the bulk updater plugin is not part of the core code of ArchivesSpace – it is a separate plugin developed by Hudson Molonglo for The New School and shared with the ArchivesSpace community. The ArchivesSpace team is working on plans to incorporate this functionality into an upcoming release of ArchivesSpace.)
