From the Misc tab, you can also arrange your member databases into groups.

In WebCollection Plus for Union, users can limit their searches to these

groups.

Important:

You must set up your members before you can create groups. See

Setting up your members" below for more information.

To group your member databases, click the Group button on the Misc tab.

From the Groups dialog, you can add, edit, or delete groups.

Shows the members assigned to this group. To remove a

member from a group, highlight it and click Remove.

Shows the members you can assign

to this group. To assign a member,

highlight it and click Add.

To add a new group, click New. To update

an existing group, select it from the list,

and then click Edit.

Each group should have a meaningful description. For example, a group

name like Elementary school libraries" would be more meaningful to a

patron than Bob's library group." After assigning (or removing) the

appropriate members, click Save to retain your changes.
If you need to delete a group, just select the description from the Groups list

and click Delete.

After entering your union catalog information, see the following section, Setting

up your members."

Setting up your members

Once your union catalog is set up, you're ready to begin incorporating your

members.

Important:

If you're creating a union catalog that will use data exchange, before

you can add any DXĆenabled members, the union catalog database

and DX member databases must be linked to a Follett Data Exchange

Server. For more information, see the Follett Data Exchange Guide

(fscdx.pdf). After configuring the Follett Data Exchange Server(s), use

the following sections to finish setting up your members.
