This remote screen-sharing session brings museum professionals up to speed in the basic features of TMS Collections, our web-based collections management system.

Through the use of a demo database, you’ll gain hands-on experience with TMS Collections, including searching, viewing, and entering data. You will also get an introduction on how to use the Composer to modify and build custom data entry screens.
