Knowledge Topics

Enter and edit collection data in tables

Tables are among the most frequently used tools in the digital documentation of university collections. Often, they are the only way to record data in a structured manner because no database system is available. But they also play an important role in the creation of mass ingests and data curation. In this dossier, we have compiled some basic conceptual considerations as well as recommendations and practical tips for working with tables.
