New feature: Generate PDF or RTF finding aids from archival descriptions
Sponsored by SFU Archives and Bombardier
Now you can provide researchers and staff with a PDF or editable RTF finding aid of hierarchical descriptions arranged and described in AtoM. You can choose between the two formats, between two different stylesheets for lower-level descriptions, and whether draft descriptions are included in the finding aids you generate. At present, this feature formats the finding aids according to the Canadian RAD standard - but we hope to see the functionality expanded to other standards templates!

New feature: Actionable PREMIS 2.2 Rights module
Sponsored by SFU Archives
PREMIS Rights were first introduced to AtoM in the ICA-AtoM 1.2 release. In this release, the PREMIS module has been redesigned, upgraded to PREMIS 2.2, and associated with an actionable digital object permissions policy, so that your PREMIS rights statements can be applied to digital objects to disallow access to the master, reference copy, and/or thumbnail, depending on your settings. Administrators can also customize user-friendly access restriction statements that will appear in the place of restricted digital objects, and manage how Rights are inherited by lower levels of description.
