Hi Sarah,

We recently opened a 12,000 sq. foot expansion, with 6 separate gallery spaces, and a total of 16 distinct exhibition sections.  We used object packages extensively to help keep ourselves organized.  We just created a new package for each section.  We had a naming convention using the exhibition mnemonic for the first part of the package name, then added the section after to keep everything in order.  You can pull up all of the packages in a given section at once to see the sum total of the exhibit, or just work with a particular section.

Subject: Object Packages

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?

Best Regards,
