Manage plugins¶
AtoM uses a number of plugins to install archival description, authority record and archival institution templates, as well as perform other functions.
Enable plugins¶
To enable or disable a plugin:
- Click on the
Admin menu in the main
menu located in the header bar and select Plugins.
- Check or uncheck the plugins you wish to enable or disable. Click Save.
Note
Most plugins based on ICA standards are permanently enabled in AtoM. These include the International Standard Archival Authority Record for Corporate Bodies, Persons and Families (ISAAR (CPF)), the International Standard Archival Description (ISAD) and the International Standard for Describing Institutions with Archival Holdings (ISDIAH).
Enabling a metadata standard plugin means that the description template can be enabled by an administrator. See Settings - Default templates.
