We repurposed the “Inscribed” field to be “Glazing”, and changed “Markings” to “Mark(s) / Inscription(s)”. This puts it right on the front card of the object, and also stops anyone from having to wonder if something should count as a mark or an inscription!

Hello all,

I’m trying to establish a process for documenting the glazing of our framed works in TMS and am curious how others have approached. Currently we use a mix of Text Entries, Handling Notes, and the Storage Comments field…

Any insight would be greatly appreciated!

Best,
Meredith
