 Research Abilities in PastPerfect 5.0 |
All the hard work of cataloging pays off when doing Research in PastPerfect. PastPerfect 5.0 offers multiple ways to research your collection. From the Research section on the Main Menu, you can access Catalog Lists, create queries using fields common to all four catalogs (Objects, Photos, Archives, Library), and search by Keyword, by Lexicon, by People, or by Search Term. You can also research records within each catalog by using the Query function in the Navigation Bar at the top of the catalog screens.
Once a catalog record, or group of records, is located through a search, you can view the catalog screens for each item, look at thumbnails of each item in a light box format, or print summaries, catalog cards, exhibit labels and detailed reports. There are also tools to export the results to Excel or put the items on a Catalog List.
Catalog Lists are powerful tools that enable you to create lists of items, view and print lists, and perform actions on all items on the lists. For instance, you can put all list items on outgoing loan or exhibit, change locations, perform a global update, relate all items, or select all items for PastPerfect Online Web publishing.
We've produced a series of tech tips that explain how to use each of the Research options:
Performed a search and not seeing the fields you want on screen? PastPerfect 5.0 gives you the ability to change what fields appear in the grid of results, making it easier to view and find the specific records you are looking for. Check out the
Setting Up Query Results Fields tech tip to learn how.
