The first step is to gather all the necessary files and put them in the right place. Create a new directory on your local machine and the WWW machine . Three text files have been defined for the UK EAD template to specify information that should be the same for all finding aids. Be sure rules checking is turned on before you do any editing. Sections that should be edited or deleted appear in red.
All elements have attribute settings.
Attributes are checked by moving you cursor within the tags you are checking and pressing F6. Most attributes in the template are not modified, but it wouldn't hurt to look at some of the the others to see if modification would be appropriate for your finding aid. This element has an attribute that describes the level of completeness of your finding aid. This element is used in the the Controlled Access section of the template. If the element you want to insert does not appear in the element list, make sure your cursor is within the correct tags.
