Hi Brian,
We do record "no marks" etc. Both to make sure we don't need to check the object and because we run reports on how complete our data is for those fields. If it's null it skews the numbers.

Hi All,

 

Just curious how others handle fields like Markings, Inscribed, and Signed.

 

When you have reviewed the object and there is no mark, inscription or signature do you:

 

1.      Leave the field empty

2.      Enter “None” or “No Marks” or “No Inscriptions” etc.

 

Thanks,
Brian
