accessions_summary_reports

An ArchivesSpace (v3.x) plugin that provides summary reports on Accessions.

This plugin was developed for the National Library of Australia by Hudson Molonglo Pty Ltd.

Getting Started

Download the latest release from the Releases tab in Github:

https://github.com/nla/accessions_summary_reports/releases

Unzip the release in the plugins directory of your ArchivesSpace:

$ cd /path/to/archivesspace/plugins
$ unzip accessions_summary_reports-vX.X.zip

Enable the plugin by editing the file in config/config.rb:

  AppConfig[:plugins] = ['some_plugin', 'accessions_summary_reports']

Make sure you uncomment this line (i.e., remove the leading '#' if present)

Then restart ArchivesSpace, see:

https://archivesspace.github.io/tech-docs/readme_implement.html

How it Works

The plugin presents an item in the repository plugin menu. After selecting 'Accession Summary Reports' you will be presented with a form. Enter a start date, an end date and select a records type. Click 'Run Report' and the results will display.

When you run a report, the frontend sends a request to the backend which runs SQL, specified using the sequel syntax used by ArchivesSpace. See:

backend/controllers/accessions_summary_reports.rb

Note that the 'received' report assumes the user_defined.boolean_1 field is used to specify new accessions. To this end the plugin overrides the label for this field, see:

frontend/locales/en.yml

Enjoy!
