Standard PAC Pages Reference

This topic lists the Polaris PowerPAC and Children’s Edition pages and when they are displayed. You can use this information to decide which, if any, Web parts should be assigned to the dashboard for a specific page (see Defining Web Parts for Dashboards - Overview), or to edit the pages as part of customizing Polaris PowerPAC for your library.

Web Page IDs for User-Defined Pages

Polaris PowerPAC and Polaris PowerPAC Children’s Edition are based on ASP.NET programming. All .aspx and .ascx files are directly editable, but you should back up your changes to preserve them from being overwritten when the application is updated and reinstalled. For more information, see PAC Customization.

If you create a custom page with the user-defined template /Custom/CustomPage-template.aspx, you may want to set the PageID value so that the appropriate Web parts are displayed in the dashboard. The default value is 1, which means that your custom page will display the same Web parts as the default PowerPAC portal page (default.aspx). To get a different set of Web parts on your custom page, you change the default PageID value to that of an existing standard page. Simply search your custom file for PageID and change the value at each occurrence.

Example:
You have created a new Web page for a patron account function. If you want the Web parts that normally display on the default patron account page to be displayed on your new custom page, change the webpageid value to 9.
