Container Lists

Container Lists can be used when cataloging archival material that contains multiple items, housed within a single container. Examples include a list of documents within a folder or a list of folders within a box.  The items within the Container List are part of the larger archival record and share the majority of the same data. Container List records only have a few fields to capture the data that might be different for each of the container list items.

 

 

On Archive records, you can create, view, and search the Container List within the Container List Accordion.
