04/04 Chapter 33 Setting up your search stations 423
You can configure an action button to launch any application that's available to
the search station. Enter the path and file name or click the Browse button to
locate and select the desired executable file (*.exe).
Important: Because the button configurations are shared by all of your search
stations, the path and name entered here must be valid at all of them.
The platform selection defaults to the workstation type you are now working on.
Important: If you have both Windows and Mac search stations, you must set up
two buttons, one for each platform. You should set up the Mac button
on a Mac and the Windows button on a Windows workstation. Only
the appropriate button appears in the set at each search station.
If you choose this action and choose Disable access to other applications on the
General Setup tab, the button is hidden from the patrons.
If you also have WebCollection Plus, please note that any buttons that you
configure to launch an application are hidden in WebCollection Plus. Because
patrons can use any Web-enabled computer to access WebCollection Plus, the
path, availability, or name of the application may not be valid for them.
Link to a URL
If your search station is connected to the Internet, you can configure a button to
launch your browser and open the Web page you specify in the text box. Enter
the complete address (e.g., http://www.fsc.follett.com). Validate the address by
clicking the button in the visual interface main window after setting it up.
If you choose this action and choose Disable access to other applications on the
General Setup tab, the button is hidden from the patrons.
