Diversity Collection

Location

Tutorial: (Newer versions (4.6 onwards) have a separated hierarchy tree in the collection form, but functionallities are the same - see below)

There are 2 hierarchy available for collections (showing the whole hierarchy or only the parent datasets):

• Administration
• Location

To enable the location hierarchy, either in the custom settings - in the menu choose  Administration - Customize display...  and then in the Defaults and miscellaneous tab set the option or in the collection window click on the in the top.

A second tree will be visible, with the hierarchy of the collections according to their location (see example below). Not accessible locations will have a grey icon.

To set resp. remove a parent location click on the       resp.        button. With the     button a window will open where you can choose the parent location for the current dataset.

After selecting a location different from the location selected in the query and you have access to this location, a button will appear. Click on this button to change to the selected location. The list of locations to choose from is restricted to collections of the types ‘collection’, ‘department’, ‘institution’, ’location’ or ‘room’ and collections that are linked to another superior location.

As an alternative to transfer collections in the list as children into another parent location, click on the    Transfer to location button in the upper left corner with a brown background. A Window will list all locations in the current database and the software will ensure that the transfer will not lead to loops in the hierarchy. Transfers that would result in a loop will be listed in an error message.
