Common tabs

All modules include an Admin tab:

Most details on this tab are entered automatically by the System when the record is added and edited, and are read-only.

Field Group	Field	Description
Legacy Data		The original data imported into this EMu record during data migration.

	Inserted By	Name of user responsible for the insertion of the record.

Import Details
	Import Identifier	An optional code users can enter when importing records with the Import Tool.
	System Identifier	Unique code auto-generated by the System when records are imported using the Import Tool. A System identifier is not added to an existing record that is updated during the import: when the Import Wizard is used, new records get a System identifier, existing records do not. The identifier is constructed from the username, and the date and time (24 hour clock) the import commenced. The format of the System identifier is username-yymmdd-hhmm. The System Identifier can be used to locate all records imported in a particular batch.
GUIDs		See GUID Support for details.

Every module in EMu has an Audit tab when viewing records in Details view. The tab displays the audit trail for the current record:

The content of the Audit tab is generated each time the tab is viewed. Each row in the Audit Trail table is a summary of a record held in the Audit Trails module. To view full audit trail record(s):

1. Select one or more rows in the Audit Trail table.
2. Click the View Attachment button beside the table.

   The Audit Trails module will open and display the selected record(s).

Tip: To view all records listed in the Audit Trail table, click without selecting a row in the table.

Many modules include the Multimedia tab.

Records for resources (images, video, audio, documents, etc.) in the Multimedia module can be attached to records in other modules. Attached multimedia display on the Multimedia tab in those modules. Here we see the Multimedia tab in the Catalogue module, with nine attached Multimedia records (a thumbnail displays in the Image pane for each attached Multimedia record):

Tip: It is possible to add multimedia to EMu by dragging and dropping one or more media files on to the Image pane of a module's Multimedia tab. For each dropped file, a record is automatically created in the Multimedia module and attached to the current record.

When the Multimedia tab is selected in a module's Tabs pane in Display mode (as shown above), the Ribbon includes a tab with options for managing and viewing media:

Multimedia Toolbar and context menu

A Multimedia Toolbar also displays on the Multimedia tab:

Options in the Multimedia Toolbar are also available from a context menu when right-clicking a thumbnail in the Image pane (details below):

Button	Name	Description
	Attach multimedia	Add media to the current record.
	Detach multimedia	Select a thumbnail in the Image pane and remove that media from the current record.
	View attached multimedia	View the records of one or more attached media files in the Multimedia module: If no thumbnails are selected in the Image pane, the records of all attached media will open in the Multimedia module. If one or more thumbnails are selected in the Image pane, only the record(s) of the selected media will open in the Multimedia module.
	Launch viewer	Select a thumbnail in the Image pane and launch an associated application to view the media.
	Save multimedia (download)	Download media.

• How to view multimedia

As the name suggests, the Multimedia (List) tab lists multimedia attached to the current record:

The Multimedia (List) tab complements the standard Multimedia tab and can be useful when a large number of media are attached to the current record: a list of attachments on the Multimedia (List) tab loads quickly, whereas a large number of thumbnails may take some time to load on the Multimedia tab.

Options include:

• Viewing the Multimedia record for each attached media by clicking View attached multimedia .

  The Multimedia module will open, listing each record for attached media.

• Attaching one or more Multimedia records to the current record:

  1. Place the cursor in the row with the asterisk (*).

  2. Click Attach .

     The Multimedia module will open in Search mode, allowing you to search for one or more records to attach to the current record (details about how to search for and attach records here).

One of two versions of the Notes tab will be enabled in your version of EMu:

All modules except for Field Level Help include the Security tab:

With Record Level Security it is possible to set permissions for who can view (Display), Edit and Delete records on a per user and per group basis.

Additional criteria can be specified in the Registry to refine these three standard security privileges. For instance, it is possible to specify that:

• Records that have been Retired, cannot be viewed by a certain group of users.
• Only members of a department can edit and delete that department's records.

It is also possible to search for records based on the Record Level Security permissions assigned to users and groups. If a user or group has been removed from EMu, it is still possible to locate records for which they had permissions assigned by using the Security (Direct) fields, which are available in Search mode.

Details about setting Record Level Security are available in Record Level Security.

Details for System Administrators about Registry settings for Record Level Security are available in EMu Administration.
