How do I change my default catalog Screen View?

Applies to: Version 5.0
For Version 4.0, please click here to download PDF instructions.

When initially viewing a catalog record, it is important to have the most relevant information about the item presented first. You can select a default screen view for each catalog record, so that the appropriate content automatically displays when you access a record. For example, Object records for artwork can display the Artist, Medium, and Maker's Mark information, while minerals can have their Formation, Rock Type, and Chemical Composition shown. In Archives, the Oral History view can show the Narrator and Interviewer information, while the Map view will show the Publisher, Latitude, and Longitude.

To change the default screen view of a catalog record:

  1. Click "Edit."
  2. Select the appropriate radio button in the bar across the middle of the screen.

  3. Click "Save."
  4. The name of the selected screen view will now appear in yellow text in the bar across the middle of the screen. Tip: Any screen views that have additional information about the item will have a green data light on the Screen View menu.
