I’ve recently had a number of comments from users about the Museum Archive software not providing a needed field for an Object (such as, “I wish it had a spot for the book’s author”). Of course, most of the time the needed field does exist, but the user was not aware that it existed on the Object Details form. I guess a lot of people populate the Objects without ever using the Object Details button, which is a shame because the Object Details provide the real guts of the data. The Object “header” form is the same for every Object, but the Object Details form is specifically designed to match the Object’s category. The Object Details form for a piece of Art is competely different from the Object Details form for an Oral History recording, and so on.
Don’t forget to click on that Object Details button!
