New layout “Exhibition”

New layout “Exhibition”

by | Apr 5, 2025 | News, Non classé

We now offer a second layout option, available via the Preferences menu (top left of the home page) > Profile > Document Layout.

This new format differs from the Standard layout in several ways:

  • Photographs and observation reports are grouped at the end of the document.

  • The first two pages gather all textual information: legal details, artwork identification, final remarks, preventive conservation, and packing information.

  • The document title highlights the date and location of the condition report.

  • At the top right of the first page, key information is displayed in red and bold: this indicates any specific precautions (special attention, alarm system, dusting authorization, lender’s condition report consultation).

This layout was developed in collaboration with exhibition management and production teams. We hope it will best meet your needs in that context.

You can compare the two layouts by downloading these two examples: standard layout/exhibition layout.

With Horus CR Pro version, you can import information in .CSV format to include data such as the artwork title, inventory numbers, materials and techniques, dimensions, etc.

We now offer a new data import format on iOS that includes additional information: document title, exhibition number (or management number), scenography number, showcase number, lender, and alarm details. This new import format is specifically designed to meet the needs of exhibition services.

How does it work?

If you manage your exhibition using spreadsheet software (Excel®, Open Office®…), simply copy and paste your columns into the attached template. The column order ensures that the data is correctly linked to your condition report in Horus CR. Make sure not to leave empty rows and to maintain the same number of columns. You may leave individual cells empty.

Save the file as “CSV UTF-8 (Comma Delimited)”, and store it on your device (e.g., via Airdrop, email, server…).

Steps to import:

  1. Open the Horus CR application.
  2. Create a folder to store your import.
  3. Click on the “+” button > “Import” (iOS) and locate your file.
  4. Open it, select the reports, or press “Select All”, then confirm with “OK”.
  5. Choose “Extended CSV” (which includes more fields than the Standard format).

Recommendations:

  • You can manually fill in certain cells and drag them to repeat content (line breaks can also be added within cells).
  • Contact us for any questions!

This update allows you to document your collections in Portuguese! Translating Horus condition report is always a difficult exercise that requires a level of knowledge and experience in language and in the conservation of collections.

We want to thank our translators who responded to the challenge of offering a standard translation to professionals from the Portuguese and Brazilian collections.

Update your app by clicking “Update” from the Play store and the App store, then click Preferences > Language to choose Portuguese.

We hope you enjoy this new feature and thank you for your continued support.
