Subject: Sorting Object and Loan records within the Exhibitions Module
 
 
Hello TMS Users!
 
At Tate we use TMS to record details of all of our Displays and
Exhibitions. Curators and Registrars both agree that the inability to
specify sort orders (via a drop down?) for the lists of Object and Loans
within the Exhibitions module is a major drawback of the system. It
tends to mean that users view exhibitions information via reports (e.g.
for exhibitions a report exported into excel, sorted according to need),
rather than via standard forms. Unfortunately, at Tate it has also made
some members of staff reluctant to use the system. Has anybody else
encountered this issue? Any thoughts?
 
Regards
 
Jon
