Create archival description from accession record

 * After you create an accession record you can create an archival description by clicking on the button "Create Archival description" in the button block.
 * The accession record is not aimed at end-user description, but ICA-AtoM provides the option to create an archival description from an accession record. The following archival description fields inherit the data entered into the accession record: title, name of creator, archival/custodial history, scope & content and physical condition. Name access points and Rights added to the accession record are inherited into the archival description.


 * ICA-AtoM takes you to the View archival description screen.
 * You can see that the data you entered into the accession record fields: title, name of creator, archival/custodial history, scope & content and physical condition are all inherited into the archival description. If you add rights to the accession they are also inherited.
 * ICA-AtoM saves the archival description as a draft and takes the name from the title data.
 * If you want to edit the archival description see, edit an existing archival description page
