Hi Rob,
 
We're a breath away from using the Container Assistant to track all of
this information. Are you on TMS 9.2? I think the container assistant
got some improvements in the upgrade from 9.16 last year.  Access points
to the assistant are now only the Move Assistant and the Shipping
module. One thing lacking is that there is only one set of dimensions in
the container assistant, so we can't enter both interior and exterior
dimensions. For national/international use we're planning to use the
Container Projects drop-down list.
 
When we have it all finalized, I'll post our data entry policies to the
group.
 
Best,
Jeri

Subject: Crates and TMS



Hello (again) TMSers, 

Does anyone out there keep track of crate information in TMS?  Here at
The Baltimore Museum of Art, we're looking to track:

A.  Crate dimensions (inside and out) 
B.  Storage location (when the crate is not being used) 
C.  Contents (the art, or artworks, stored in the crate when shipped) 
D.  If the crate is for national, or international use 
E.  Orientation of the crate (side or top loaded) 
F.  Year of origin for the crate 
G.  Condition of crate 

Is there anywhere to store this information in TMS?  Any part of TMS
that could be reconfigured? 

Thanks (again),
