Report
Click Report to select from a short list of most utilized reports in the module. In Works users will select from a list of three reports: Catalogue Report, Full Page Detail, and Infosheet. The report will generate for the preview record, but will include other records which were Marked prior to selecting the report on the Preview Panel.
Report: Infosheet
The Infosheet is a special report A5Artsystems users can generate which pulls together information from Works Details, Works Provenance and any Reference linked in the Works References module (Exhibitions, Literature, etc.). Infosheets linked to Work records on the Works Document Pane may be included in the Exhibition Private Viewing Room. SEE How to Add a Private Viewing Room.
Save Infosheet to Work > Documents
- Select from the Preview Panel Report > Infosheet.
- Download the Report so it may be edited, make any edits necessary.
- Open Works>Documents and click the Attach Infosheet icon
to open the drop zone, then drag and drop any document into the drop zone. Click the Done button when finished. The check mark in the 'Info' column will appear only if users use the Attach Infosheet icon to save a document to the Work record.
Transact
Click Transact to create a quick transaction record: Invoice, Offer, Consign Out, Cash Sale, Shipment, Loan, Receive Work, or Reacquire Work. The Transact option on the Preview Panel is the quickest easiest way to create a Transaction. If Works were Marked prior to selecting Transact, users will be prompted to include the selected record or to include all Marked Works:
- Select the desired option and then click the Next button to continue selecting information for the Transaction. On the next Pane, select the Contact for the Transaction.
- Use the Search field to find the contact, or scroll to find the Contact. (Note: Users can click on the Magnifying Glass icon
to select to search by either Sort Name or Last Name) - If the Contact has not yet been added, use the Add icon
to add a new Contact.
Once the Contact is found or added, highlight the name in the list and select the Arrow icon 
next to Ship From: and Ship To:
- Click the Finish button when complete and the new Transaction will appear on the screen:
Share
Click Share on the Preview Panel to send an email. Similar to Transact the first screen to appear will ask to include the Work highlighted or the Marked Works.
- Select the desired option and select the Next button and the email form will appear.
Note that the Image and Work Details are included in the body of the email and the user can fill in the To: field by typing directly into the field or by selecting the To: button to choose the contacts from the database.
Search to find the desired contact and mark in the list. When all are selected click the Arrow icon to move the selections into the Sent To: column. In the example below I had marked the contact selections prior to utilizing the Preview Pane's Send option so I checked the Marked Contacts on the bottom of the pane to quickly find the contacts. NOTE: When selecting from Contacts note that only Contacts with email addresses may be selected.
- Select the OK button when done and the user will return to the email form with email addresses populated. Any additional edits can be made, and when complete press the Send button.
