Including Container List Records

Concept

Including Container List records online allows you to share your archival collections more in-depth. Container List records are accessible as links in the Container field on Archive record pages. Each Container List record will display any populated Container List fields you have selected to share online.

Container Lists have the same inclusion/exclusion process for the web as images attached to your PastPerfect records. If you select an Archive record to be included on the web, all items in the Container List for that record are selected to be included online as well. You can also deselect individual Container List records by using the Include in Web Export checkbox located on the Container List record.

Task

Once you have the Container List records selected for the web, follow these steps:

  1. Click the PastPerfect Online button from the Main Menu.
  2. Click the Next button.
  3. On the Select Data Fields to Include screen, click the Container List tab and select which fields of data from the Container List database you wish to share online. Keep in mind: the first field listed will be the hyperlink showing on the Archive record, so you may want to select a first field that is unique to each Container List item.
