Vernon CMS Help

Vernon Browser imports object records in groups called Object Collections.    

When setting up your Object Collections there are several things to keep in mind:

oYour export must include at least one Object Collection.

oObject Collections are created by linking a saved list of Object records to the Collection record. These Object lists are permanently saved in Portfolio and should be clearly labelled so they are not accidentally deleted.

Vernon Browser Portfolio Saved Lists

oAll objects displayed in Vernon Browser must belong to a Collection, you cannot export single records.

oYou can create any number of Collections, but each object can only belong to one Collection.

oSmaller institutions may only need one collection, while larger or more organisationally complex institutions may wish to divide their records into a number of collections relevant to the objects (e.g. Natural Sciences, Human History, Art etc.).
