The system map
The system map, at /help/system-map, shows how a record moves through the Workspace, stage by stage:
- Intake: what arrives, and from whom.
- Describe: the record and its context in RiC.
- Digital objects: its files and how they are viewed.
- Rights and access: who may see and do what.
- Preservation: keeping its files safe and readable.
- Review and publish: from draft to the public.
- Discover: the public catalogue and site.
- Share: open data, exports and federation.
- Research: the reading room and its researchers.
Each stage opens onto its parts, and each part onto its details, three levels in all. Every node that has a guide links to it, so the map doubles as a way into the Help Center: find where a task sits, then open the guide for it.
Reading it
The stages are listed in order across the top. Below, each is a heading you can open and close; the line beside each node says in a few words what it holds, often with the RiC class it is. Open as many as you like; nothing on the map changes your data.
Good to know
The map is a picture of how the parts fit together, not a list of what you may do. Your role still decides which screens you can open.
The map is kept as data in the Workspace (resources/help/system-map.php), written for the Workspace rather than copied from Heratio's, so it changes with each release that adds a stage or a part.
