Roadmap

Last Updated 20th Dec 2024.

We are continually working on eHive to give you new features and a stable and efficient experience while you manage your collection. Our roadmap outlines the future enhancements we have planned for eHive. Some of these enhancements affect how you see and interact with eHive, while other changes behind the scenes improve the resilience and speed of eHive.

The upcoming features are listed in the planned order of implementation. If you have software suggestions, please post them in the Software Feedback and Suggestions section of the eHive forum. The forum provides a place to discuss issues and enhancements in greater detail.

The roadmap will be updated as enhancements are completed. Planned features may change based on further research or based on feedback from the eHive community.

Completed updates can be found in our Release History.

Upcoming features

Support for more media file types (end of Feb 2025)

eHive currently supports a wide range of image-based media. Extend support to include audio files and video files, as well as other formats which can be viewed directly within a web browser.

Redesign the ‘Create’ record editing screen

The create screen will be reviewed to update the presentation of the pages and update the underlying technology we use to build the screens.

Saved Lists

Account holders will be able to gather together records from search results and create a list to save and re-use. This means that accounts holders can create their own lists for reporting, and will provide the basis for creating a list of collection highlights to show on their profile page. Saved lists can also be used for creating virtual exhibitions of objects that may be from many museums.

Pick list and Tag maintenance

Introduce options to merge one tag into an existing tag or one pick list term into an existing term, and then bulk update all of the affected records.

Improve reporting

Redesign reporting to allow reporting on more fields and make the reporting process easier for the user.

Person Records

We will be adding support for recording more detailed information about people and organisations. This means you can record contact details and biographical histories for donors, organisations, artists and historical figures.

Bulk Update Tools

Building on top of the saved lists feature, our bulk update tools will provide options for basic bulk find and replace operations and the bulk addition of data to existing records.

Testimonials

New England Regional Art Museum

I’ve worked with the Team at eHive to deliver three online collection projects – across archives, library and art museum collections, both in New Zealand and Australia. The technical support is exemplary and the eHive Team have offered guidance and advice that makes solving any problems easy and maximising project potential possible. I’ve used eHive as both a host website for online collections, and for a fully integrated museum website search experience that has helped diversify our audiences and allow people to respond to collections in a tangible way.

Tanya Robinson - New Zealand & Australia

Mataura Museum

Thanks to eHive we are now a museum without walls. After putting our collection online, web visitors exceed physical visitors by a factor of ten, all without having to set up and maintain our own website. This wider reach has brought a raft of new connections to our small community museum.

David Luoni - New Zealand

Tweed Regional Museum

eHive has allowed the Tweed Regional Museum to easily publish our collection online, making it more accessible than ever before, revolutionising how we work and how far our collection can go. The back end of the system is incredibly easy to use, making it simple for staff with non technical backgrounds to publish the collection online. The team at Vernon have an excellent customer service ethos and help is never far away. We can’t recommend eHive to other small or medium museums enough.

Ashley Parker

Personally I consider eHive to be an absolute triumph. It is easy to use, logical, comprehensive, economic, safe (as in backed up), it has an open data/migration path to get data out and the support is superb. I will absolutely encourage other institutions I come across to change over to it. I did a pretty thorough analysis of the competition out there before selecting eHive and it seemed the best approach of all the choices.
