Manuscript Level: Inputter
Definition: Name of the person responsible for selecting, organizing and inputting the information about the manuscript into the database, in reference to all four levels (Manuscript; Part; Text; Image) even though the field "Inputter" is only present at the Manuscript level.
Comment: Not intended for end-use display. It may be sufficient to use first initials, but at least the last name should be given in full since the database may be in use beyond the employment span of grant-funded individuals. The inputter may wish to take advantage of the program's AutoCorrect feature by entering initials as the "mistake" (for example, ldm) with the "correction" expanding this to the desired form of the name (for example, L. D. Myrick).
Example:
Properties: Data type: text. Field size: 50 characters.
