Displaying Resources Based on OpenURL Elements

Use one of the data test types below when you want to suppress the display of a resource link in records that are related by

• the presence of certain data within OpenURL elements
• the absence of data within OpenURL elements

These data tests contain rules to test one or more fields in an OpenURL. To use a data test, create the data test and assign the test to one or more target resources.

• If the OpenURL passes the data test, and the data test is assigned to one or more resources, then those resources display.
• If the OpenURL fails the data test, and the data test is assigned to one or more resources, then those resources do not display.
• If the data test is not assigned to a resource, it displays.
