Partial vs. Whole extent should be distinguished in PUI

Description

In the PUI, the label for “Extent” says “Extent” regardless of whether the extent(s) in question are parts or the whole. Given that we can indicate part vs. whole on the staff side, there should be an indication of Part vs. Whole in the PUI. At our institution, we need to record A/V extents at the archival object level in a way we don’t with linear feet. See attached screenshot. The 5 items listed are just part of the extent, but the label gives the impression that those 5 items are the only things in this archival object.

In terms of implementation, each extent type could get a distinct label, such that anything with a type of “whole” is listed under something like “Full extent” and anything with a type of “part” is listed under something like “Partial extent”.

The extent type is already in the solr schema, (http://localhost:8983/solr/#/archivesspace/query?q=*&q.op=OR&indent=true&rows=10000&useParams=).

It is the portion_enum_s field, see also in the json response: "portion\":\"whole\" ...), for each extent.

The effort here is about presenting as needed in the PUI view

In looking at the PDF issue raises, it looks like that was happening before (at least as far back as 3.5.1, but possibly further), so I don’t think it is related to this fix. It may still be desirable to fix, but that should be a separate ticket.

In testing another ticket I seem to have come across an unintended consequence of this ticket, that in PDF exports each extent is listed in the PDF simply as “Physical description” without further distinction, and as a separate item. I’m less familiar with how the PDF export should look so I’m not sure what an ideal fix would be.

This appears to be fixed. I added both a “whole” and multiple “part” extents to a resource record and an archival object record, and they are labeled as “Full extent” and “Partial extent”, respectively. Screenshot attached of the PUI view.

Dev-Pri looked at this ticket during our May meeting, and we have decided to pass this for development. All partial extents should be tagged as “partial extent.”
