Pro automatically resizes and reformats copies of source images when attaching to a work record. Using Pro, images can be emailed, exported for website and mobile app use, or displayed on any number of user-defined or standard reports and documents. Display image thumbnails of variable sizes in the works spreadsheet view. Pro saves paths to image files rather than embedding them in the database, ensuring its stability and leanness for speed.Double-click on the Thumbnail View for a larger view. Add up to dozens of additional images to each work record — detail views, alternate alternate angles, etc.
Works: Values
Works: Values
Use the Value tab to keep track of current values and value histories of the item: Appraisal Value, Retail Value, Insurance Value, and three other user-defined Value types. Values may be entered and updated in any currency, linked to a system base currency, using current conversion rates as listed online. Alternate currencies can also be unlinked for rounding or other purposes, as is the Retail price in British Pounds, at left. Alternately selected work values can be set as a fixed currency other than the system's home currency, with the linked alternate values as well as alternate currencies entered for transactions adjusted to display conversion to the work's base currency instead of the system's home currency.
