1.9 - old workflow, under Name Authority, what is the purpose of 'enter text'

[Jay van Schyndel]

Hi ReDBox,

In version 1.9, old workflow, on the People tab, what is the purpose of the field 'enter text' under Name Authority' ?

(screen shot below)

I would like to understand the purpose of this functionality.

Thanks,

              Jay.

Hi Jay,

The enter text field is there to allow you to enter a text identifier for the party. This is particularly useful for external parties that don't exist in Mint, NLA or have an ORCID but do exist already in Research Data Australia under a local identifier. Of course you could also plug an ORCID or an NLA identifier in there too rather than searching if the value was known. If a value is entered in that field, the party is assumed to already have been curated.

Thanks,

Andrew
