Hello,

 

I have a question about the "Site" naming conventions people are using
in TMS in their Locations. Are your museums indexing the actually room
number ("7752") or do you use more familiar names such as "Vault A"? We
are in the process of standardizing and I am weighing the pros and cons
of our historical use of Site names, any security issues associated with
having the room number present in the name, and the need for ease in
quickly finding the right location in the building.

 

Thanks for any answers.
