When documenting exhibitions for your catalogue raisonné, you may come across cases where no exhibition catalogue was published. In such instances, it's important to record that no catalogue exists. This makes it clear that no resources have been overlooked and that the research for this entry is complete. This tutorial shows you how to document the absence of an exhibition catalogue in your entry.
1. Open the exhibition entry you want to edit.
2. Click the "No catalogue" toggle, located directly below the field for adding a catalogue.
The toggle documents that no catalogue was published for the exhibition. It is not available, if a publication entry has already been linked to the exhibition.
3. Once it is documented that no catalogue was published, the option to add a catalogue is deactivated.
The field that previously displayed the Add Catalogue button now shows a strikethrough catalogue icon. Should new research become available and a catalogue be found, you can deactivate the toggle to re-enable the option and add the catalogue.
4. In the exhibition list view, the strikethrough catalogue icon indicates that no catalogue was published.
