MOON 1.6.0 Updates

By: Objects & Order

We just launched powerful new features for managing complex collections, enhanced subscription options, and significant improvements across the MOON Object System.


New Base Subscription Level Plans

New Base levels are available.

  • Level 01: free with space for up to 100 objects - no credit card required
  • Level 02: up to 5,000 objects for $25/mo
  • Level 03: up to 100,000 objects for $50/mo

Now, every Base begins at Level 01.


Upgraded Base Settings and Management

  • Seamless upgrade/downgrade paths between subscription levels
  • Streamlined subscription information
  • Improved stats section showing Base data and subscription information:
    • Object capacity
    • Members capacity
    • Dataset capacity
    • Published Module usage
    • Storage capacity and usage
  • Improved Member management and invites
    • New Member invites included for Levels 02 and 03, with option to add additional Members
    • Streamlined invite process for new Members
  • Improved Module Pack management

Auto-Increment Field Updates

Updated the Auto-Increment field type, which is designed to handle accession numbers, catalog IDs, and other sequential identifiers.

Key Features:

  • Template-Based Generation: Create custom ID formats using variables: {year}, {month}, and {seq}
  • Flexible Control: Configure start numbers, minimum length, and increment rules
  • Generate and Edit: Enforce consistency while allowing manual overrides when needed
  • Real-Time Preview: See how your IDs will look before implementing them

For example, you can now automatically generate IDs like:

  • 2025.001.01 for accession numbers
  • DOC-2025-0001 for document tracking
  • PHOTO-2025-123 for photography collections
  • 0001 for minimum length IDs with leading zeros

This system adapts to your needs while maintaining data integrity and preventing duplicate IDs.


Object Files View:

  • Improved UI and access to Files.
  • New object level search across files and file metadata.
  • New File filtering allows immediate filtering of images, videos, documents, etc.
  • Highlight Base storage details on object files page.

Advanced File Validation:

  • Multi-layer file signature verification for additional file types:
    • psd, ai, indd, aep, prproj, ttf, otf, woff, woff2, eot, flac, rtf, pages, numbers, cr2, nef, arw
  • Updated file type confirmation
  • Updated Content-type validation and sanitization

Updated Removal Confirmations

We've updated the removal confirmations across MOON to be more consistent.

Deletion/removal of a Base now requires confirmation with a random code (similar to multiple object removal) for security.


Infrastructure

Behind the scenes, we've made significant improvements to ensure MOON runs faster and more efficient:

  • Svelte 5 Updates: Complete compatibility updates for improved performance
  • Optimized Components: Rebuilt core components like Number Field and Auto-Increment
  • Streamlined Configuration: Updated Base configuration system and subscription loading

New User Experience

We've refined the on-boarding process to help new users get started quickly:

  • Customizable First Base: Choose your base name and color during sign up
  • New on-boarding screen: Streamlined process for creating your first collection and learning about the system
  • Enhanced Documentation: New guides for common setup scenarios
  • Blueprint Tour: New Blueprint Tour for first time users
  • All Data: Added quick access to "All Data"

We're committed to making the MOON Object System the most flexible and user-friendly collections management system available. These updates reflect our ongoing dedication to supporting the needs of museums, archives, artists, and collectors, for collections of all sizes.
