What do you use for props inventory?

Lou Ambrose

This is not Tessitura related, but I am just wondering what is being used to track props inventory around the network. Our props department wants to buy a program built on Filemaker. It looks perfect from their point of view, but has no support to speak of. What are other folks using to keep photos and specifications on props in storage? They need to be able to find specifications and photos of (for example) all 1930's end tables. They then need to email this information to the show's designer. Any suggestions? Thanks.

    We use filemaker itself here and have been using it for five years or so.  We researched using a few Pro installs and a server install but in the end determined that the limitations on the Pro were within our limits.  We have three copies.  One installed on a "server" machine that has an IP address exposed to the web.  The other two copies are used to open the database on the "server" and make modifications.  Using the built in web components anyone who has the correct username and password can open up the filemaker web view from anywhere and view our prop inventory.  This allows designers to shop through our stock props from their homes.  If you would like to take a look at the webview or talk to me about the limitations feel free to contact me off list.
