What Is an Entry?

An Entry in CatalogIt represents one individual item (or object record) in your collection. Each Entry counts as a single cataloged object, regardless of how many images, files, or related records (such as people, places, accessions, exhibitions, or documents) are attached to it.

Your Entry is the central, living record of that item—capturing what it is, where it came from, why it matters, and how it is managed. From an Entry, you can:

• View and edit metadata
• Attach media
• Link related records
• Organize items into Folders
• Generate reports
• Keep documentation up to date in one place

When you log in to CatalogIt, the first screen you will see is All Entries. This is where every Entry you create will be located.

Users with Owner, Admin, Read/Write, and Editor permissions can create and edit Entries.
