Object: Details

There are two ways to create a new archaeological object:

1. From the list of objects in Dashboard.



2. From the Drive section in any of your own folders.

How to fill in the object details?

1. First, enter the name of your find and hit ‘Create’.

   

2. Once the new object is created you will see the object record form. Check the Drive folder it is saved in and move it to a different folder if needed via Path in Drive.

   

   This path can be changed only by the object owner. If you created a new object via Dashboard it will be saved in your Drive root folder by default. If you hit “Create object” from one of your Drive folders, that is where it is saved.

3. Select type, group and category for your object.    

   

   Check Object types, groups and categories to get more details on their definitions and relationships and how to select the matching ones.
