Also, regarding the need to create a maintenance log, this is possible through the Query Builder!

Custom queries can be built and saved to use again and again. Once you build a query to return results that act as the maintenance log, query results can be easily exported to CSV files from within the interface.

You can Query from the ConservDescription table, add the necessary fields on ConservDescription and ConservEvents and map to `Collection Object > Catalog Number` with the `Equal` operator as well. Including Catalog Number with this operator will allow you to return results for only the record(s) associated with the Catalog Number(s) entered before running the query.

You are also able to set a custom Table Format and Aggregation for the ConservDescription and ConservEvent tables in the Record Formatters file in App Resources. Table Formats and Aggregations define how queries display results for columns mapped to (formatted) and/or (aggregated) fields for a given table.
