Each catalogue template within the Victorian Collections CMS has a set of associated Weighted Fields. Information contained within these fields holds greater value than other non-weighted fields in the record. These values are then translated to the public website through keyword searches: If the Weighted Fields are completed, your records will appear higher up in the search results; however, if they are are not completed, your records will feature further down the page in the search results. 

The following table provides the list of Weighted Fields for each template type (the information in parentheses provides the areas where you will find these fields within the catalogue template):

Please note: If you are not sure of a creation date, you may enter an approximate date or even a series of dates (c. 1910, 1930s, 1900s, 1965-1975, etc.).
