Best Practices:
StylePeriod
The
StylePeriod layout is used to record information about styles, period,
movements, schools, and dynasties. There are many. Thus, when creating a new
StylePeriod record, one assigns a PreSortTerm, which functions to group
together similar terms within the Work layout interface. Please fill out the
StylePeriod as completely as possible, particularly the Note field, which can
contain usage information. Look at other terms under the PreSortTerm and follow
their syntax.
