Hi Suzanne, I’m puzzled as to the intended use of the
Exhibition Mnemonic field myself. I can tell you that when you create a new
Exhibition record, it auto-populates with the first 32 or so characters of your
exhibition title. It might also be useful for you to note that each exhibition
does have it’s own ID, just like Object IDs, though it’s not
visible on the record. In version 2010 this ID (called a DexID I believe) is
fully visible on each exhibition record. If you plan to upgrade soon you might
just want to wait it out instead of adding a different number to the mnemonic
field.
Also, just a follow up to Chad’s suggestion, which I like
very much – you can configure TMS to allow duplicate mnemonic values and
exhibition titles. Its in Database Config > Exhibitions.
