Add a work
Everything in 1BURO hangs off your Inventory — your website, portfolios, price lists and exhibition checklists all read from it. Getting a work in takes under a minute.
By hand
- Open the Inventory tab.
- Click + Add Artwork.
- Fill in what you know. Only the title is really needed to save — you can come back for the rest.
- Drag an image (or several) onto the form, or click to browse. The first image is the primary one;
the others show as detail views on your site and in portfolios.
- Click Save.
That's it — the work is now in your inventory and, unless you say otherwise, visible on your website and available for portfolios.
What the fields do
- Title, year, medium, dimensions — the caption that shows everywhere.
- Series — groups works together; becomes a filter on your public site.
- Availability & price — available · sold · reserved · not for sale. You control per-work
whether the price shows on your public site.
- Editions — switch Edition type to edition to track individual copies, their status,
location and collector.
- Description — the couple of sentences shown under the work. Stuck? Click Generate and 1BURO
drafts one in your voice from your other writing (you can edit or discard it).
Show or hide a work
Two toggles on each row — P (portfolio) and W (website) — control where a work appears. Turn W off and the work stays in your inventory but never reaches your public site. Nothing you enter is ever public unless you choose it.
From a photo or a document
Working from a gallery page, a press release or an old PDF? Use the parse tools instead of typing:
- Parse from a URL or pasted text — paste a link or a block of text and 1BURO extracts the title,
medium, dimensions and year for you to confirm.
- Import a portfolio PDF — from Settings → Data (or the Inventory toolbar), upload an existing
portfolio PDF. 1BURO reads the works and pulls the embedded photos, then shows you everything to review before anything is saved. This is the fast way to move a whole back catalogue in at once.
In bulk, from a folder
Click ↑ Bulk Import on the Inventory toolbar to add a folder of images as many works at once — handy when a year of studio photography is already organised on disk.
