Journey

The following steps describe how to enter a journey as move event. For more information on move events in general see this tutorial. On move events concerning artifacts, have a look at the letter tutorial.

These steps describe how to enter a journey as special case of a move event. To create a new move event following elements are involved in the procedure:

• Actor: the person/persons that went on a journey

• Event: the Move of the letter from one place to another

• Place: start or end point of the journey

• Type: used for classification, can be extended by users

Adding actors

If not all actors involved in the journey were entered into the database already, add them via a click on the respective tab in the menu. Here, click the + Person button to get to the form. As for all other forms, a name is required to save the data. Please note, that that only individuals entered as person can be linked to a move event later on. This is not possible for groups, as a move of one or more groups can not be mapped with the current version of CIDOC CRM.

Adding locations

If not all locations involved in the journey were entered into the database already, add them via a click on the respective tab in the menu. Here, click the + Place button to get to the form. As for all other forms, a name is required to save the data.

Creating the move event

The following steps will create a move event:

• Click on the Event tab in the menu then use the + Move button

• Fill out the form, for more information see the move event tutorial.

• Please note: do not link a person in this form if the journey was taken willingly. Link here only people who have not traveled of their own free will - think, for example, of a prisoner transport or the translation of relics. To see how to link (voluntary) travelers correctly, see below.

• Please also note: Use preceding event to document multiple parts of a trip. Unlike sub events, these can be put in chronological order. Sub events are there to capture events that happen at the same time (for more information see move event tutorial).

• Click the Insert button to save the data or Insert and continue button to save and start to enter another move event

Link actors to the journey

To link actors (who have made a journey of their own free will) to the created entry click on the blue Actor tab on the landing page of the respective move event.

• Here, the Link button can be used to link people already entered into the database. The following information can be entered via the form:

  • at type you can define the role of the actor in the journey; if there is no suitable entry in the list, a new type can be created depending on the user’s authorization, see the types tutorial.

  • the actor can be changed afterwards via the Change button

  • the form of participation can be determined

  • in addition, dates and a free text description are possible

• via +person or +group new actors can be created and then linked to the move event
