− | The archival landscape comprises, for each country, the different archival institutions. It is the entry point to the 3-layer structure - country, institution, archival content - of the portal. It is the first level of this hierarchical structure, on which the navigation tree structure of the advanced search as well as the directory of the portal is based. | + | The content of this page has been integrated into the [https://www.archivesportaleurope.net/tools/for-content-providers/data-preparation/country-manager-manual/ website of Archives Portal Europe] now. |

− | Each country manager is responsible of the archival landscape of his country (creating the countries is done by the general system administrator). A Country Manager can organise his/her national part of the Archival Landscape as he/she sees fit, since geographical, thematic, administrative classifications of the archival institutions are different in each country. The aim of this national coordination is to define the structure of the archival institutions within the country.

− | Note that the Archival Landscape's structure should not be changed too often because this has consequences on the data indexing.

− | The section "Edit archival landscape" within the Dashboard includes a specific web form (see figure 4 below) that allows Country Managers to create and manage a structure within their (national) part of the overal Archival Landscape. The Archival Landscape can be hierarchically organised, in order to group certain types of archival institutions together and can contain as many levels as needed.
