Like many other institutions, The Morgan Library and Museum utilizes TMS to generate reports using templates prepared in Crystal Reports. But the reports and forms we desire most – loan agreements, condition reports, and exhibition checklists – need to be highly dynamic. Instead of typesetting each block of text or every checkbox, the Morgan leverages Crystal Reports’ powerful capabilities to make reports dynamic, flexible and easy to maintain. This presentation dissects some of our most complicated reports to look at the underlying structures and formulae.

Presented at Collective Imagination. 6-8 December 2017, Los Angeles, CA.
Presented as a webinar for Gallery Systems. 25 April 2018.
