Lucidea Announces Android App for Argus Mobile, Museum Collections Management
Argus Mobile is a companion to Lucidea’s Argus Museum Collections Management System. Argus museum and gallery clients can use Argus Mobile to work remotely while roaming galleries or warehouses. It lets museum staff update the Argus database when a collection object is moving to a new location, or returning to its original location, simply by scanning barcodes.
It’s easy to use with your Android device’s camera—just scan, tap, and go. Scan collection object and location barcodes, then tap to set the new location for a single object, or even a collection of objects. You can also indicate location type, such as “temporary” or “permanent” so your database will always be up to date
Users of the Argus Mobile Android app can:
- Look up an object or box by its barcode, ID, or words from the synopsis or content
- Look up a location by its barcode or ID
- Choose a staff member (“Done By”)
- Choose a location type
- Set a new location for an object or box
- Set an object’s or box’s location to one of its previous locations
- Set an object’s or box’s location to its last permanent location
- Look up the set of objects or boxes at a given location
- Set a new location for one or more objects or boxes at a given location
- Display object or box information
