Objects

Edit an object

Enter and change values on an object, for example the loan status of a loan in the special exhibition.

  1. Open the object. Click the object in the gallery, table, kanban or calendar. It opens in the Object tab of the workspace.

  2. Choose a layout (input form). Above the object are the tabs of the layouts that are enabled in the project. In the special exhibition of the demo holdings these are, for example, Kurzübersicht (summary), Erfassung (cataloguing) and Leihverkehr (loan management). An orange eye on the tab means that this layout is read-only for you.

  3. Enter a value. Click into the field and type. Selection lists and trees have a search box that also finds parts of words. You can also dictate into text fields if speech input is set up in your profile: click the microphone on the right of the field, or hold down Strg + Leertaste (Ctrl + Space) while you speak.

  4. Leave the field. This saves it. Each field is saved on its own; there is no save button. The field shows its state in colour:

    ColourMeaning
    GreyBeing saved
    Green, brieflySaved as entered
    Orange, for a few seconds, with the message Value saved with modificationsSaved, but adjusted in the process. Check the saved value
    Red, flashing until something happensNot saved. Reload the page and enter the value again
The field Leihstatus (loan status) with label, value and comment icon in the Leihverkehr layout of an object in Sonderausstellung 2026, with Ausgestellt next to it and Leihvorgang below.

Still: the field Leihstatus before the change. The green confirmation after saving is not shown.

Add annotations

Every field has a field menu: the ☰ icon next to the field label, or right-click the field. The annotations are there:

AnnotationWhat it is for
ColourFree highlighting from a colour grid. The team decides what it means, not Moliri
CommentCoordination within the team, such as “dimension from the lender, not measured again”
SourceWhere the value comes from
HesitantThe value is an assumption

The same menu has Open field details (with the field’s history), Copy raw value and Copy formatted value.

The open field menu on the field Datierung (date) of Stag at Sharkey’s: a comment about the label on the back, a source from the catalogue raisonné, the uncertain marker set and yellow chosen in the colour grid. Above them, Open field details and Copy raw value. Summary of View of Schroon Mountain: object title in green with the source icon, inventory number 1917.1335 in blue with the comment icon. Above the inventory number, a tooltip shows the comment “Old number on the stretcher differs, see earlier inventory numbers.”
Hesitant instead of c.

ca. 1900 cannot be entered in a date field. 1900 with the uncertainty marker set, on the other hand, can still be sorted and filtered and is shown as uncertain in the report. The same applies to dimensions and numbers.
