Changes to the Museum Archive software

February 26th, 2010 · No Comments · Museum software

I’ve had a number of requests for an import function. The difficulty with letting users import data is that the database has so many relationships among the tables, and it is hard to set up a CSV to get them all correct. All the same, it would make the package more useful, so this has moved to the top of my list of proposed changes.

Another useful feature would be to supply a copy of the software that cannot edit the database - a read-only or view-only version. That’s easy to do, and I will start working on it.

Users from outside of the US have requested a method of changing the date format. Right now the program uses mm/dd/yy. This is on my list.
