This article describes WrkLst Classic, the previous interface. For the current interface, see Works: inventories, filter and search, views and the basket in the WrkLst 10 documentation.
What an inventory is, how to move between inventories, how to use the filter and search features, and how to build an arbitrary selection of works with the basket.
Moving between inventories
Your works are grouped into inventories, and you switch between them to change what you are looking at. See Inventories if you need to create or rename one.
Filtering and searching
Filter and search narrow a large archive down to the works you actually need — by artist, by availability, by year, or by whatever criteria matter for the task in hand. Filtering is the fastest route into a big inventory, and it is also the starting point for most other work in WrkLst: an exhibition checklist, a consignment or a client selection usually begins as a filtered view.
Selections and the basket
The basket works like a shopping cart for artworks. You add works to it from anywhere in WrkLst, across different views and inventories, and the resulting selection can then be used to generate documents, create an exhibition, build a consignment or make a presentation. A selection can also be saved as a list and retrieved later — see Lists.
Sorting
You can also adjust the order in which works are shown, which matters when the sequence is going to end up in a document or a presentation.
