Customization of field display format:

Cataloging:

  • Can the pick-list-within-a-cell format of the following be changed to the more elegant format seen in "Script", "Sex", "Phase", etc.?
    • "Number Type" ("Other Number")
    • "Currency", "Level", "System", "Type", "Language" ("Object Name")
    • and other similar examples
  • Will "Event Name Type", "Other Type", "Technique Type", "Role" be made into CV fields with pick lists?

Right panel:

  • Terms Used:
    • Format as [Term] & " (" & [role (if person) or field label] & "), so that information is presented in this way:
      • Frederick C. Gamst (Collector)
      • Phoebe A. Hearst (Donor)
      • Addis Ababa, Ethiopia (Production Place)
      • Ford Motor Company (Associated Organization)

Customizations of layouts:

Cataloging:

  • Take some fields out of "Object Description Information" and place into their own collapsible group, "Biological Information":
    • "Sex"
    • "Phase"
    • "Form" [maybe]
    • "Age"

Questions:

...

  • Can "Collection" be multi-valued?

...

  • Can "Title" be multi-valued?

...

  • Will "Dimension Summary" be automatically populated?

...

  • In textual inscription, are "Method" and "Type" the same, or at least redundant?

...

  • If "Number Type" in "Other Number" is set to "Field number", can this value be automatically added as "Field Collection Number" (either AJAX-esque or upon validation?)

...

  • Can URLs for documents be entered in fields like "Owner's Reference", such that they'll serve as clickable links to those documents?
