What's next?

If you choose to load the default button set when you click Save, you need go no

further. You can use these buttons as is. When you exit Setup, open the visual

interface. Check to see that all the searches are productive for your database, and

determine your needs for any changes or additions.

Important:

Make sure that your keyword index is upĆtoĆdate. You can generate

keywords automatically whenever you save a bibliographic record by

selecting the Create Keyword Entries as MARC Records are Saved

option on the Misc tab under Cataloging setup (see page 55).
You can also build the keywords for new or modified records with the

Update Keywords feature in Cataloging (see page 345) or regenerate

the keywords for the entire library database by running the Rebuild

Keyword utility in Utilities (see page 595).

If these buttons do not meet your needs, continue on to the next section to

reconfigure them, or add new ones.
If you exit Setup, please note that all of the settings on these three tabs (except the

action button configurations) apply only to the workstation you are now on. If

you would like to copy these settings to your other search stations, see page 429.
If you plan to make the Visual interface available to your patrons through

WebCollection Plus, make sure to open the Setup Information page and import

the buttons. For more information about Visual WebCollection Plus, see page 447.

Adding and editing action buttons

To create your own action buttons or edit the default set, click Config on the

Visual OPAC Setup tab. This opens the visual interface main window in

Configuration (setup) mode.
This is the same window that the patrons see in Search mode, with two

differences. Configuration Mode" appears in the title bar and the toolbar

contains setup buttons. Here you can add and edit the action buttons, organize

them into sets, and see how they appear to the patron.
