Exhibition Objects module
|
Replaces the Exhibit Items module.
The Exhibition Objects module is intended for Art based EMu clients. The module holds details about a particular object at a particular event, and includes:
- Exhibition information, e.g. the location of the object within the exhibition.
- Maintenance information, e.g. does the object need to be replaced or does it have any special requirements while the exhibition is underway.
The Exhibition Objects module sits between the Events and Catalogue modules and holds details about an object that is associated with an event.
When an object is attached to an Events record, an Exhibition Objects record is automatically created. Removing an object from an event deletes the associated Exhibition Objects record.

Read Only Registry entries
|
Prior to EMu 4.0.03 it was possible to make the back-end tables read-only (and it still is), however the EMu client did not reflect the read-only nature of the table in the module interface: it was still possible to select the menu entry to insert a new record, but an error would then be displayed as the table was read-only. The ReadOnly Registry entries control the EMu client while still leaving the back-end tables operational. This means that the menu entry to insert a new record is now disabled if the table or system is marked as read-only.

Multi-group Support
|
EMu 4.0.03 introduces multi-group support, which allows a single user to be registered in more than one group:
- A user who is a member of more than one group can select the group name to use from the Login dialogbox when logging into EMu.
- At any time it is possible to switch to another group without logging out and back in again.
- When switching groups the user decides whether opened modules should remain open or whether they should be closed.
- Any new modules opened will use the group permissions assigned to the group that the user switched to.
See How to log in to EMu for details about logging in to EMu when you are a member of more than one group.
See How to work with multiple groups in EMu for details about how to switch between groups in EMu.
See Group Registry entry for details about assigning users to more than one group.
