Exploring a Catalog Record
Concept
There are two main parts to the catalog records: the image viewer
containing a large image and thumbnails for any additional images attached
to the record, and the data section containing the fields from
your internal database you have chosen to publish online. Additional buttons
are located above the image viewer to help users share records with each
other and communicate with the organization using email forms. These forms
can be enabled, disabled, and customized through IMS.
When viewing a catalog record, visitors have various options for interacting
with your collection:
- Email to a Friend: Selecting this button allows visitors
to easily email a direct link for a catalog record to a friend.
- Send Feedback: If a visitor has information about the record
they are viewing, they can contact the museum using this button.

to see more information about the creator and their associated records.
