Hi Sarah,
When working on exhibitions, our curators usually start with an overall package and then create separate packages for sections as someone mentioned previously. However, we try to move all these records into the exhibitions module fairly early on in order to manage sections using the section, sub-section and case fields in that module. I find that easier to manage than multiple packages.
It’s helpful to use the exhibition fields early on in order to run reports that are sorted or filtered by section.
Best,
Chrisy

Hi Liz,
Hmmm…that’s not a bad idea! Use of the folders hasn’t been fully embraced here, but it’s a tactic I might try and employ, because that would solve the problem!

Sarah,
I’m not sure which version of TMS you have, but in TMS 2012 you can create folders inside of folders. I have used TMS primarily for cataloging and conservation documentation purposes, so I’m not very familiar with the exhibition space that you refer to Can he just create his own object packages for his purposes and put them into a folder of his own, so that he can pull up a group of objects when he wants?
Take Care,
Liz Fedowitz

Hello,
I just had a curator inquire about creating a sub-package within an object package. I sadly had to tell him that it’s not possible at this time.
He wanted to separate the main package into sub-groupings within the exhibition space.
Have others faced this same challenge? If so, how have you maneuvered around no sub-packages?
Can sub-packages be added as a feature in a future TMS release?
