Documentary series are created by archivists and/or entity administrators and are linked to a specific entity and/or collection within their jurisdiction. The archivist can define and assign lifecycle management policies at this level, which can then be applied to all PIAs that are part of the documentary series. In other words, series management is an essential element to facilitate the administration and implementation of platform policies.
The platform allows you to manage documentary series in two different ways, at the entity level or at the documentary collection level. If you choose the entity level, its management falls to the entity administrator role and the great peculiarity is that the documentary series are shared by all the documentary collections that are part of the entity. In this mode, the archivist will never be able to register, modify or delete a series. They will only be able to consult them or use them to create the corresponding policies.
However, if it is preferred to manage documentary series independently for each collection, then the management of the series falls to the archivist.
Note: Once the documentary series management mode has been chosen, it is not possible to change it, as some incompatibilities may occur.
