Saving buttons
Clicking Save saves the configuration for this button and returns you to the
visual interface main window, still in Configuration mode. The new button
appears in its set immediately on your workstation.
Important:
The button configurations are saved in the FairCom Server database,
not, like the setup options, on the local workstation. All search
stations, therefore, access the same button sets; you do not need to
configure the buttons at each search station. You can configure at any
workstation that has Catalog Plus installed.
If you make changes to the button configurations, it may take up to
ten minutes for the changes to appear on the other search stations. For
an immediate refresh, close and restart the OPACs.
Since the option of selecting the home set is on the Visual OPAC Setup
tab (and, therefore, saved locally), you can select a different set to be
the home set at each search station.
If you've made the Visual interface available to your patrons through
WebCollection Plus, make sure to open the Setup Information page and
re-import the buttons. For more information about Visual WebCollection Plus,
see page 447.
Deleting buttons
To delete an action button, click Delete.
Note:
If you want to delete a whole set of buttons, delete each button in the set
before deleting the button that loads the set. This avoids the existence of
orphan" buttons Ċ those still existing in the database, but inaccessible.
To remove any changes you made to this button's settings and revert to the
previously saved ones, click Cancel. This also returns you to the visual interface
main window in Configuration mode
There, you can click the Exit setup button to change the mode of the main
window from Configuration to Search.
In Search mode, check to see that all of your action buttons perform as expected.
