Attributes

It is important to be able to organise your data as efficiently as possible. Consequently, at the point of upload, PastView’s advanced database enables each individual item to be assigned a series of relevant Attributes.

These Attributes might include the date a photograph was taken, the title, the name of the photographer, or the author. They can then be organised into Attribute Sets: the usual list of attributes you would expect to record for a specific type of item.
Applying Attributes is vital for the smooth and efficient structure of your collection, driving your search and helping to inform the specific searchable fields that support access and discovery.
