Create a URL Link to a Record Set in the PAC

You can create record sets and then make the titles readily accessible in Polaris PowerPAC using several methods. One method is to create a URL link to the record set and publish it as a Web part in Polaris PowerPAC.

Tip:
To find a record set that appears in Polaris PowerPAC, select it to display the URL in the top of the PAC browser window. Then select and copy the bibliographic record set ID that appears after the equal (=) sign. For example, select 13221 in this URL: http://qa-orion/view.aspx?brs=13221.
Then, search for the record set in the staff client Find Tool: select Record set ID in the Search by box, and paste the record set ID in the For box.

To create a URL link to a record set in the PAC:

  1. Create the record set containing the titles you want to make available in Polaris PowerPAC.
  2. Define a URL link to the record set that references the record set(s) by control number or by name.

Examples:
(single record set by number) http://{PowerPACURL}/view.aspx?brs=1234
(multiple record sets by number) http://{PowerPACURL}/view.aspx?brs=1234,12345,123456
(single record set by name) http://{PowerPACURL}/view.aspx?brsn='bibrecordsetname'
(multiple record sets by name) http://{PowerPACURL}/view.aspx?brs='TotSummer','TeenSummer','AdultSummer'

  1. Create a custom web part for the record set URL.
  2. Assign the custom web part to a specific page. See Defining Web Parts for Dashboards - Overview.
