Part ID number field
The Part ID number field records a number (or letter) that identifies the different parts of your object.
Field details
Visibility: Private field
Field ID: part_id
Search example: part_id: 1
Field type: Text field with 50-character limit

Cataloguing tips
Record any physically separate parts contained in the record.
For example, a pair of shoes in their original shoebox would collectively have the same accession number (such as MT.2018.15.3), and each part would have a unique part ID number.
Example
| Part description | Part ID number |
| Right shoe | 1 |
| Left shoe | 2 |
| Shoebox base | 3 |
| Shoebox lid | 4 |
