How to manage locations and movements
Locations management typically involves four main areas:
- Documenting the locations and containers in which collection items can be located (displayed, stored, etc.).
- Documenting the location of items in your collection.
- Moving items (objects, containers, etc.) from one location to another.
- Checking the location of objects and containers in your collection.
While locations management is a feature of all Axiell Collection Model Applications, there are differences in fields, panels, data sources
The management of a collection can involve a vast amount of information about objects / items / books, people and organizations, events, administration and more. This information is stored as records in data sources. Each data source stores a specific type of information: details about collection items, people, events, loans, and so on. and available tools from one Model Application to another. These differences are noted in the topics in this section, specifically between Model Application 5.2 (and earlier) and the Standard Model (Model Application 6.0). Significant enhancements introduced with the Standard Model include the Movement and shipping logistics data source (used to plan movements), and the Collections audit and Collections audit items data sources (used for locations checking / audit).
