Yes definitely, and I should have said the boxes are always stored in the same cabinet or shelf. But only for our Photographies.

Elsa permanent location or home location is the area in storage the artefact keeps being returned to.

Dear all,
As for Orsay, we actually have three museums in our group (Orsay, Orangerie and Hébert), we use the levels exactly the
same way as the Morgan Library.
Specifics for our Photography Collection: Though we have a huge collection of photographies stored, always in the same
boxes, there are organized physically so logically that we decided to stop there and we do not use any containers. Nor do we use permanent location, but we have no religion on that last one.

I think its best to think of these as Level 1, Level 2, Level 3, etc, instead of as Site, Subsite, Unit Type, etc. Here's how locations are managed in TMS at the Morgan Library & Museum.
Address
We have separate addresses for each building on our campus.
Level 1 (Site)
This is the Floor designation within a building
Level 2 (Subsite/Room)
This is the assigned Room Number, which is located on placards or on architectural plans, followed by a brief description (ie: 03 Vault, 03 East Room)
Level 3 (Unit Type)
In our historic rooms, this is either a case or cabinet designator (ie: Cabinet 04); however, in one room it also includes the wall (ie: North Wall); and in rooms where here are multiple levels of cabinetry, this is the
Tier number (ie: Tier 1).
In our storage vaults, this is either the cabinet designator, the rack number, or the bay within our mobile shelving.
Level 4 (Unit Number)
In our historic rooms, this is the shelf number when there is only one tier of cabinetry; and the cabinet designator when
there are multiple levels of cabinetry.
In our storage vaults, this is the shelf or drawer in our cabinets and compact shelving units. When a flatfile unit has been placed upon a shelf, then
"Flatfile" appears here.
Level 5 (Unit Position)
In our historic rooms, this is the shelf number when there are multiple levels of cabinetry.
In our storage vaults, this is the drawer for flatfiles.
As you can see, a shelf or drawer isn't always in Level 4, since it depends upon the configuration of its surroundings. This is why I prefer to think of these as levels.

Dear all,
My institution is partway through a storage renovation process and we are reevaluating how we use the Location Authority in TMS.
Previously we were only using Site/Subsite/Unit Type to capture all of the location information we needed, but after adding compact storage in our vault spaces we are interested in utilizing Unit Number/Unit Position as well.
If you are currently using the Unit Number/Unit Position location fields at your institution please contact me off list: (kari.walters(at)phxart.org).
We're particularly interested in how these fields work for your institution, what your user workflow through Movement Assistant is like, or any other feedback you might have.
Best wishes,
Kari
