Unsure about Status & Availability?
Status & Availability is a fundamental part of an artwork record, and it is particularly important for ensuring your works are correctly listed for visitors in your online viewing room.
What do they mean?
The most important status and availability combinations for the purposes of this event will be;
- Stock - Available
- On consignment - Available
- Ex-Inventory - Sold
If you are unsure which applies to your artwork record, you can find out more about what each represents by clicking on any of the S&A dots in your list view, then selecting the 'i' icon.
This will reveal a useful list documenting this information, including what each of the coloured dots represents.
Step 3: Create a Private View
To share your artworks to the Outsider Art Fair website you must first create a 'Private View'.
Flag your artworks
Go to 'Artworks' and flag the artworks you want to share with the Outsider Art Fair website. Click on the flag at the top of the list view and select 'Find flagged'. This will bring your group of artworks together. Ensure that you only have the number of records that you wish to use on the screen, by checking the 'Found' records at the top.
Create a Private View
Go to the buttons at the bottom of the page and select 'Create...' then 'Create a PrivateView...'
You will then be prompted to give your new Private View a name.
After you have given your Private View a name, and clicked 'Create', select the second option to 'Visit Private Views list screen in the opening window.'
This will take you to the 'Private View - All' screen. Now click to 'Edit this record' on the right-hand side of the list.
Edit your Private View
Once you are in the Private View edit screen you can easily rearrange your artworks by dragging and dropping them into the order you want and clicking 'Save'. You can also easily add and remove artworks here. Please note that the Outsider Art Fair Paris 2020 page layout differs layout from the edit screen - you can preview your exhibitor page once you have shared you Private View with the Outsider Art Fair Paris 2020 site using your unique Preview Link.
After you are happy with the order of your artworks go to 'Artwork Settings' and make sure you have selected the correct fields.
Once you have completed the 'Artwork Settings' section move on to 'Header Image / Background' and turn on 'Show banner'. The image you added into the Gallery details section in your Core preferences should be pulling through now automatically to this section. If it is not, simply click to upload it again here, by clicking the Upload Image button under Background Image.
It's important to note, that you are not able to preview the following information here in the Private views edit screen, but that it will be visible to preview once you've shared your private view through to Outsider Art Fair's website;
- Gallery details
- Artwork details information (such as; description commentary, provenance, exhibitions etc)
- Secondary images
- Video
Step 4: Share your Private View to the Outsider Art Fair website
Lastly, for your Private View to be correctly shared, you must use the following settings in the Private Views edit screen:
Go to the ‘Website sharing’ section in the Private View settings.
Add a video
This is optional and if added will be displayed below your gallery details on your Outsider Art Fair Private View.
Add your Vimeo or YouTube Video URL (not an embed code) here. Only when you have added a valid URL will this field will highlight green. Only Vimeo and YouTube URLs are accepted. It cannot be previewed in the Private View edit screen in your Artlogic database, but you will be able to preview it in the after you've shared your private view through to Outsider's website.
Share your Private View with the Outsider Art Fair website.
This is the final step in this process. Enable this option to ultimately share the Private View with the website.
When turning this on, you’ll be met with a warning;
Read through the checklist to ensure you have completed all the necessary steps before sharing your private view.
Click ‘Ok’ to continue. It's important to remember that you’ll still need to save your Private View before it syncs to the website.
When you have completed editing your Private View, click Save and confirm the update. This can take up to 30 minutes to fully sync to the Outsider Art Fair website.
You can check that you've shared this Private view through successfully with the website, by checking if the 'Outsider Paris 2020' tag has appeared against your link on the main Private views page in your database.
Step 5: Previewing your content on the Outsider Art Fair Website
Once your Private View has been shared with the Outsider Art Fair Paris 2020 website, a specific preview link will appear. It's important that you visit this link to see how all your information will look from a visitors point of view on your online viewing room.
Click on the link to preview the website. Only this Outsider Art Fair specific link will work for previewing, so ensure this is the one you are looking at, as opposed to a standard private views link.
If there is anything that you want to update after previewing this link (such as artwork details or layout) make sure you re-save your Private View to update this information on Outsider Art Fair Paris 2020 website.
Un-sharing Private Views
Before un-sharing any Private Views from the Outsider Art Fair Paris 2020 website you'll be warned after pressing 'Save' in the Private Views edit screen, to confirm this update.
