Version 5.2: PDF document support, private vs public image controls

We’ve just rolled out the latest major upgrade to eHive. You can now attach PDF files to object records and each image & document has options for public access.

PDF example

The new “Edit PDF files” menu option, available in all places where you can edit a record, allows you to upload individual PDF files, overwrite the default link name for the document, and overwrite the access level for a specific file.

The existing “Edit Images” screen now has options to change the access level for a specific image. For example, the default access level for your account is “Same as record”. This allows public users to see the images of records published on eHive.com. However, you could override this for a specific image, for example an image showing damage to an object. This conservation image could be marked as “Account users only” to indicate that this image is always private, regardless of whether the record has been published.

You can read more about the document upload features in our online help.

The upgrade also includes several minor fixes and features, including:

  • fixed display problem with my.ehive.com (logged in) website footer on mobile screens
  • added clearer error messages for image formats that are not supported
  • adding breakdowns of storage usage on the Account Usage page

Testimonials

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!
