Configuration¶
Browser compatibility¶
Archivematica is tested most extensively in Firefox and Chrome. There have been known issues in testing with Internet Explorer (see Bug #7246). Minimal, but successful, testing has been done with Microsoft Edge.
Resource allocation¶
For recommended resource allocation, please see:
Workflow settings¶
Many workflow choices are pre-configurable through the Administration tab of the Dashboard. Please see Processing configuration.
Some users have found processing economies by installing multiple Archivematica pipelines on separate VM’s, each with its own processing configuration specific to the type of material being processed through each pipeline.
Integration settings¶
Archivematica integrates with a number of different access and storage systems. Please see:
- AtoM
- ContentDM
- Archivist’s Toolkit
- DSpace
- LOCKSS (Administrator documentation)
- Duracloud (coming soon)
- Arkivum (coming soon)
Add/edit users and passwords¶
Administrative users can add/edit users and update passwords. An administrative user does not need to be a systems administrator and can perform this function within the Archivematica dashboard Administration page.
Please see Users.
Add/edit PREMIS agents¶
Administrative users can add/edit PREMIS agents, which are recorded in the METS file to identify the agency performing digital preservation events. This should be configured before processing begins, and can be set through Archivematica dashboard Administration page.
Please see PREMIS agent.
