Problems with finding aids

[r.ruti...@docuteam.ch]

Hi,

One of our customers has some issues with finding aids.

The setting:

• AtoM 2.5.3
• Finding aids settings:  PDF; Inventory summary; not for public users
• The level we're on is: Archival Institution -> Archive -> Fonds -> Series -> Sub-Series -> Item
• All the leves are in draft mode, and none of them has a finding aid yet

Action:

While displaying the Item (selected in full-width treeview), I click on "Finding aid: generate". 

Problems:

• The page reloads but with the top level (Archive) activated. 
• The job arFindingAidJob results in an error (see log below)
  • it tried to create a finding aid for the whole tree, from the top level on (Archive-A). But I was at item level, when clicked to generate it.
  • further error messages (image pdf logo not found is traceable and can be fixed)

Can someone help, please? Thank you!

Hi Roger, 

I will follow up with our team to see if they have any thoughts about some of the other errors you've shared here. First, a couple quick notes. 

Finding aids are always generated for the entire hierarchy, and NOT for individual descriptions. Otherwise you could have 1000 different finding aids in a hierarchy with 1000 descendants - and this wouldn't be really useful to the end user anyway - the finding aid is intended as a textual guide to / overview of the entire archival unit. This is why you're being redirected to the top-level when generating. You can trigger the generation from any level, but to clarify that it will relate to all levels (and also be available from all levels), AtoM sends you back to the parent description. 

General overview and usage docs for 2.5: https://www.accesstomemory.org/docs/2.5/user-manual/reports-printing/print-finding-aid/

I will see if I can learn anything further about the other errors.
