The thesauri for our loans and exhibitions statuses are a work in progress, but are fairly simple.  We run our R&R requests through our loans module as well, so have some special terms there.  Most of them tie into the functionality of our monthly reports.  Here's a screenshot of our loan status thesauri:

Hello all,

Would anyone be willing to share their thesauri for Loans and Exhibition statuses?  (Screen shot would be fine.)
I had been holding off on expanding our use of these modules until we were able to upgrade to TMS 2010 R2, but as that does not look likely this year, I would like to go ahead and start laying the ground work now.
If you also have any hints or tips on what worked and didn't, I'd love to hear about them!

Thanks everyone!

Diane.
