Exploring a Catalog Record
Concept
There are two main parts to the catalog records: The images
section displays thumbnails from the catalog record. The data section is presented
as a table to the right of the images with data fields pulled from your
internal database. Additionally, at the top right, a series of buttons
allows users to communicate with each other and the organization using
email forms. These email forms are customizable 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.
