How to add a Viewing Room link to an Artist's page

This guide explains how to add a Viewing Room link to an artist's profile on your website.

Adding a link to a Viewing Room on an Artist's Page on your site can be a great way to let visitors access time-sensitive online exhibitions and allow you to collect invaluable data and potential sales leads. It’s also a great way to encourage visitors to stay on your website for longer while also keeping the artist's page simple and effective.

Note: These steps require you to have the Viewing Room records option in your Website CMS.

Overview

After you create a Viewing room record you wish to associate with your artist, there are a couple of ways to display this on your Artist detail page on your website. This can be achieved in the form of a hyperlink or a button.

For either of these to appear, you must first enable the Overview artist module (in Settings > Artists > Artist Detail) and add text to the Overview (short bio) section.
