Notes

Ladd's feedback

  • No problems with multiple simple bag transfers

  • How simple can we make the process? Evaluate each micro service, needs, add custom services

  • Only two roles - Active and Admin - could be concern

  • Skip approval steps on per-transfer basis with bag-level file

  • Could feasibly connect multiple Archivematica transfer dashboards to one storage service - simpler to maintain

  • Still looking for DSpace connection info

Melanie's feedback

  • no issues with initial tests

  • curious about normalization settings, where to adjust

Tests in meeting

  • Deleting transfer requires Admin access to storage service - interface to review delete requests, requires notes on actions

  • Transfer fail generates detailed feedback in dashboard, as well as email notification with details to Admins

  • Active role cannot edit or create options in Preservation Planning tab

  • Admin role can create new Formats, Groups, Tools, Rules and Commands in Preservation Planning tab
