Hi CollectionSpacers, We would like to do a batch import from an Excel spreadsheet into CSpace 2.0. We're trying to adjust the object data that does not have a designated destination field in CollectionSpace. Do any of you know how to change or add the values on drop-down menu for those specific fields with drop-downs we want to change? Also, we want to know the importation sequence based on the fields to confirm the sequence of separate XML imports. Thanks, Sandra

Hi Sandra, With sincere apologies for this delayed response: On Fri, Jun 22, 2012 at 12:16 PM, <sandrayun.tsai@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi CollectionSpacers, We would like to do a batch import from an Excel > spreadsheet into CSpace 2.0.

As I've understood this, the values that appear in many of CollectionSpace's drop-down menus are currently set in either of two ways: * By editing term lists, which will affect the contents of any drop-down menus that draw their terms from such a list: http://wiki.collectionspace.org/display/UNRELEASED/How+to+add%2C+edit+and+remove+terms+of+a+term+list * For all other drop-down menus, by editing configuration files within CollectionSpace's application layer. If you would like more details on the latter, please let us know and we can point you to the relevant instructions. > Also, we want to know the > importation sequence based on the fields to confirm the sequence of separate > XML imports. Thanks, Sandra Could you describe a bit more what you are trying to do here? Are you using the Imports Service (e.g. http://wiki.collectionspace.org/display/UNRELEASED/How+to+Import+Data and also http://wiki.collectionspace.org/display/collectionspace/Imports+Service+Home) to perform your imports, and are you referring to the sequence numbers listed there, or?
