Hello Lourdes -

 

We've created a single constituent record for "Unknown," which is used fairly often.  

When linking it to an object record, I use the prefix field, depending on the situation, to help describe the role of the person:

Photographer Unknown

Author Unknown

etc.

You could do the same for "Anonymous" I suppose, and use the suffix field instead:

Anonymous Photographer

Anonymous Author.

Hope this helps.

Allison

        Greetings fellow TMS users,

         

        I have a question and hope anyone could answer me. We have some works of art with anonymous author. As I am entering the information in TMS we found a problem: in constituents, how we should put an anonymous author. Does anyone have in the list of constituent names like Jane Doe, anonymous author, etc.   

         

         I would like to know, if anyone of you can tell me, how you deal with this.  Thanks.
