Improvements to Entities - Introducing fully searchable description fields

Posted by Marshall Parr on April 27, 2020 at 3:10 PM

We're always working on ways to make your digital archives easier to navigate and discover.

So today we're introducing descriptions for your entities, automatically indexed to give you even more possibilities for searching your archive.

Description fields are already available for both individual items and your collections, used to provide further details, relevant links, images, videos and even PastView snippets alongside your material.

Well now we’re introducing entity descriptions, giving you the opportunity to provide even more information about the people, locations, physical objects and many other uses for entities in your digital archive.

Entity descriptions are now available in the admin area, to display this functionality on your website please get in touch.
