Thank you for your prompt response, David. We have created only a few spreadsheets during the migration between our old CMS and TMS. Since there are only about 500 records, it sounds like the best course of action is to import as much data as I can and then go back and fill in the rest manually.

One of the more time-consuming tasks looks to be entering the Dimensions, since we have those called out separately for image height and width as well as primary and secondary support.

Another area that I'm wondering about is how to handle inscriptions. We keep separate information about inscriptions on the print recto and verso as well as inscriptions on the mount R/V or matte R/V. Does everyone keep this information grouped together in the Inscription field in Objects?

Thanks,

Edward
