Want to tailor your Online Viewing Room (OVR) links with specific information like alternate prices, special notes, or region-specific details? You can use custom inventory fields to personalize each link, even when all the links are generated from the same list.
This is especially helpful if you're sharing the same group of artworks with different audiences and want to highlight information that's relevant to each.
How It Works
Let’s say you want to show different currencies for different clients:
Create a custom field for the additional price format (e.g., "Price in CAD").
Add information to the custom field for the artworks in your list.
When creating an OVR link, go to Artwork Settings and choose to display that custom field from the dropdown
This allows you to have multiple OVR links from the same list, each showing a different currency—or any other custom detail you want.
💡 Remember to only add this change for the new OVR link of the list, and not the original OVR link.
Here’s how it looks in practice:
🔹 Example 1 (The original OVR link) shows the default price saved on each work (USD): Preview OVR Link
🔹 Example 2 (Newly created OVR link of the same link) uses a custom field titled "Price:" and hides additional fields like price, provenance, and literature: Preview OVR Link
Keep in mind that custom fields display once an artwork is clicked on:
Other Use Cases
Custom fields aren’t just for price. Use them to:
Add region-specific availability notes
Highlight shipping or framing details
Translate captions for different audiences
Display alternate titles
Because custom fields are created and managed in your Inventory settings, you have full control over how and when they appear in each link. Learn how to create a custom field here.
Pro Tip: If you're preparing for an international fair or sending region-specific SmartMails, OVRs with custom fields are a perfect way to tailor the content for each audience without creating separate lists.
The flexibility of custom fields gives you more control over how you present your artwork online. Whether you're tailoring an OVR for currency, client preference, or location-specific messaging, custom fields allow you to showcase your inventory with precision and ease.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Can I hide standard fields and only show custom ones?
Yes! In the OVR Design Panel, use toggles in the Artwork Settings section to hide standard fields like price or status and replace them with custom fields.
Can I use more than one custom field in a single OVR?
Absolutely. You can display multiple custom fields—just keep the presentation clear and relevant.
Can I still use the same inventory list?
Yes. You can create as many OVR links as you need from the same list, and each link can show different details using custom fields.
