Hi Sarah,
Here at Tate we don’t use the Loan Type at all. But our loan purposes are as follows:
As you can see, we mostly use the purpose to denote the Tate venue. Although we do have issues with users not assigning a loan purpose at all, leaving it as “(not entered)”!
Hope this helps.
Best Wishes
Madeline

Subject: Loan Purpose and Loan Type
Hello TMS users!
I am in the process of reviewing our workflow of the Loans module. I wondered if anyone was willing to share some screenshots, or list of terms used for Loan Purpose and Loan Type. Ours is a bit inconsistent so I would
love to see how other museums establish these authority fields.
Thanks!
Best Regards,
