Administering Multiselection Groups Settings

The settings menu for Multiselection Groups contains settings options for creating a Preferred Groups list to control which groups are available during the ordering process. You can also specify how to be prompted to select a group when using the Multiselection Group feature to add copies. Note that you will not be able to create a Preferred Groups list if no groups have been created. See Multiselection Groups Table for details on how to create these groups.

NOTE

The changes you make in the Multiselection Groups menu apply to all users of the same login who are in the same accounting unit as you. When they use Multiselection Groups to add copies to orders, it will be based on these setting selections.

Note that the options you choose in this menu do not affect which groups display while using the Web Works Selection Lists product.

  1. Expand the Multiselection Groups menu.
  2. Add to or remove from your list of Preferred Groups by checking the check boxes.

When you click a Multiselection Group, you will see the combination of locations, funds, and numbers of copies associated with that group in the Preview Multiselection Group table.

  1. From the Default Group drop-down menu, select how the Preferred Groups will be offered when you use the Multiselection Group feature to add copies:
    • "Always prompt": You will always be prompted by a dialog to select a Multiselection Group from the Preferred Group list when you add copies to an order.
    • "Prompt to select": You will be prompted by a dialog to select a Multiselection Group from the Preferred Group list the first time that you add copies to an order. Afterwards, the Multiselection Group you chose will automatically be used as the default group for the remainder of the session. When starting a new session, you will be prompted again to choose a default group.
    • "Name of a Multiselection Group": Choose a Multiselection Group from the drop-down menu. The Multiselection Group you choose will be the default selection, and you will not be prompted by a dialog to select a group when you add copies to an order.
  2. Choose Save to save the settings.
