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.
