By leveraging custom metadata facets, browse categories with curatorial descriptions, and curated feature pages, exhibit curators can develop more engaging interactions with their collections.
Exhibit Dashboard
Once your exhibit has been created for you, you should get familiar with your Exhibit Dashboard. To manage your exhibit:
- Log in to your Online Exhibitions account
- Navigate to your exhibit
- In the top right navigation, click on your email address and select “Exhibit Dashboard” from the dropdown menu.
If you don't see this navigation item, you may need to contact the exhibit administrators to be added to the exhibit as an "Admin" or "Curator".
Main Navigation Items
Home Page
Every exhibit has a home page - this is the page that users land on when clicking on an exhibit's thumbnail on the main index (https://exhibits.library.cornell.edu/).
You can choose to hide or show your search facets on the left of your main text in the Options tab of Edit mode.
Curated Feature Pages
Use curated feature pages to showcase and provide additional context for your collection. You can embed exhibit items, as well as videos and 3rd party interactive content not available in your exhibit's search index on feature pages.
You can choose to show or hide feature page navigation on the left of your main text in the Options tab of Edit mode.
To add or delete feature pages: Curation: Feature pages.
Browse
Use Browse pages when you want your users to browse through curated subsets of your exhibit's items. You can choose which item metadata fields to display per view type (List, Grid, Masonry, Slideshow) in Configuration: Metadata.
To manage Browse categories: Curation: Browse.
About Pages
Add information about your exhibit, including exhibition credits, additional resources, and contacts to the About pages.
Search
Admins can configure the search results view in: Configuration: Search.
