I found the software to be very easy to use and remarkably user friendly. To add a new piece of art to the database, the user selects the new record button. At this point, you can enter every important detail of the specific piece of art such as the type of art, medium that is used, subject of the piece, date created, dimensions, framed or not, and condition of the art.
Further details can be inputted that include the artists
information, sale history of the item, and a separate tab allows
you to input appraisal and authentication information including an
image of the certification of authenticity.
This software will allow you run many types of reports for a
variety of circumstances. For example, say there's a natural
disaster and you lose your entire collection, fortunately, you can
run a report specific for insurance companies.
You now have a list of every piece of art and exactly how much
it is worth. Other report options include a collection summary, art
detail list, appraisal value list, authentication reports, and
more. You can even use the program to help you print out labels for
each piece of art in your collection.
The demo version is available at no charge; the full version of the
software costs a one-time fee of $50. The demo has the exact same
interface and options as the full version, but in the demo you can
not save your list of items that you have created. To save your
items, you must buy the full version.
