General Display and Behavior Options
This page describes the Web options for the General Display and Behavior options group. Review these options to determine any necessary setup that your organization might need to perform.
AVAILLIM[scope][_lang]
This option:
- Enables users to limit Advanced Word Searches to available items.
- Specifies the text to use for the Limit to Available message displays.
The option format is:
AVAILLIM=[checkbox text label]|[results message]
| Element | Description |
| [checkbox text label] | This element specifies the text that displays next to the Limit to Available checkbox specified by the <!--{availlim}--> token on Advanced Word Search help pages. |
| [results message] | This element specifies the text that displays notifying patrons that the search results display is limited to only those items that are available. |
For example:
AVAILLIM=<EM>Limit results to available items</EM>|<EM>Search results are limited to available items</EM>
INN-Reach
This functionality is not supported on INN-Reach Central Servers.
This option does not have a default setting. If this option is not defined, the WebPAC does not offer users the ability to limit searches to available items.
This option can vary by scope and language.
AVAILLIM_STATS
Compatibility
This option was used in Millennium to specify the status codes that the WebPAC uses to define an "available" item in the "Limit to Available" functionality. It does not apply in Sierra. Contact Innovative to request changes to the list of these status codes.
BOTLOGO[scope][_lang]
This option specifies an image or text to display on the bottom line of WebPAC screens. For example:
BOTLOGO=<CENTER><img src="Resources/Images/screens/iiicwrlog.gif"> <ALT IMG="Software from Innovative Interfaces, Inc"></CENTER>
You can specify an external URL or HTML file as the source of the bottom line by preceding the URL or filename with the '@' character, as shown in the example below:
BOTLOGO=@screens/mybotlogo.html
Note that in this example, the file resides in the "screens" directory.
The <--{botlogo}--> token controls the placement of the BOTLOGO value on all HTML forms and files in the the live/screens and staging/screens directories.
This option can vary by scope and language.
BOTLOGO_ENCORE[scope][_lang]
This option specifies an image or text to display on the bottom line of WebPAC screens when the My Encore feature is enabled. This option accepts the same values as the BOTLOGO Web option.
If this option is not defined, the system uses the value of the BOTLOGO Web option.
This option can vary by scope and language.
BUT_CANCEL
This option defines the graphic image to use for the Cancel button in some forms. See also ICON_CANCEL; use of BUT_CANCEL vs. ICON_CANCEL is specific to each form. See the description of the form to determine which option to use. For example:
BUT_CANCEL=/screens/cancel.gif
BUT_CLOSEWINDOW
This option defines the graphic image to use for the Close Window button. For example:
BUT_CLOSEWINDOW=/screens/closewindow.gif
BUT_CLOSEWN
This option defines the graphic image to use for the Close Window button. For example:
BUT_CLOSEWN=/screens/closewn.gif
BUT_RET2CAT
This option defines the graphic image to use for the Return to Catalog button. For example:
BUT_RET2CAT=/screens/ret2cat.gif
BUT_STARTOVER
This option defines the graphic image to use for the Startover button. For example:
BUT_STARTOVER=/screens/startover.gif
BUT_SUBMIT
This option defines the graphic image to use for the Submit button in some forms. See also ICON_SUBMIT; use of BUT_SUBMIT vs. ICON_SUBMIT is specific to each form. See the description of the form to determine which option to use. For example:
BUT_SUBMIT=/screens/submit.gif
COOKIE_NOTIFY[_lang]
This option enables a message to notify patrons that the WebPAC uses cookies. If you enable the message, when the browser loads a WebPAC page on a device for the first time, the patron is shown the message. If the patron acknowledges it by clicking OK, the system closes the message and sets a cookie on the device to track the acknowledgment. The cookie expires after 365 days.
This option's value is the message shown to patrons. You must provide it because there is no default message. You can use HTML syntax, for example:
COOKIE_NOTIFY=This site uses <strong>cookies</strong>. See our <a href="[mysiteURL]/privacy" target="_blank">privacy policy</a> for more information.
You can also specify an external URL or HTML file by preceding the URL or file name with the @ character, for example:
COOKIE_NOTIFY=@screens/cookie_notice.html
(In the example, the file resides in the screens directory.)
By default, the message includes an OK link that closes the message. You can customize the link using the ICON_COOKIE_OK Web option.
This COOKIE_NOTIFY option can vary by language.
Consider coordinating the implementation of this message with the publication of a privacy policy. For example, in the message, you might want to include a link to the privacy policy, as the example above does. For more information, see Providing Privacy Information.
CUSTOM_MESSAGES
When this option is set to a "true" value any word starting with t, T, y, Y, or the number 1), the system uses the messages.conf file to display customized renewal error messages.
If this option is set to a "false" value (any word starting with f, F, n, N, or the number 0), or is not defined, the WebPAC displays system default renewal error messages.
DISPLAY_T880
When this option is set to a "true" value (any word starting with t, T, y, Y, or the number 1) and users enter searches using the Latin1 character set, the WebPAC displays the contents of the linked bibliographic 880 field with the "best" t-tagged field in a record browse. For more information, see Displaying the 880 Field in Record Browse Results.
This behavior requires the <!--{linkfieldspec:[fieldspec]}--> token in the Brief Citation form set to VbT.
When this option is set to a "false" value (any word starting with f, F, n, N, or the number 0), or is not defined, WebPAC uses default behavior for displaying the "best" t-tagged field in brief citations.
ENABLE_DOCTYPE
When this option is set to a "true" value (any word starting with t, T, y, Y, or the number 1), the WebPAC inserts the following content in the top of HTML pages:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" dir="LTR">
If the INSERTTAG_HTML option is enabled, WebPAC treats the ENABLE_DOCTYPE Web option as "false", regardless of the setting.
If this option is set to a "false" value (any word starting with f, F, n, N, or the number 0), the WebPAC does not insert a DOCTYPE statement in HTML pages.
By default, this option is set to a "false" value.
Setting this Option
This option is pre-defined in most of Innovative's example screen sets. This option should only be modified by staff with a good working knowledge of HTML.
FORM_FOCUS
This option can be used to disable the JavaScript that places the browser's cursor in the first field of system-generated input forms displayed by the WebPAC. By default, the WebPAC sends this script to the browser so that the user can immediately input data in a system-generated form without having to first click in the field. To disable the script, set this option to a "false" value ('0', the characters 'F', 'f', 'N', or 'n', or any word beginning with one of these characters). For example:
FORM_FOCUS=0
NOTE
If you used a locally-defined form focus code on your Web forms (for example, <body onLoad="document.forms[0].elements[0].focus();">), the WebPAC ignores the setting for the FORM_FOCUS Web option and uses your locally-defined code.
ICON_BUT_CANCEL[scope][_lang]
This option defines the graphic image to use for the "Cancel" button in some forms. See also ICON_CANCEL. See the description of the form to determine which option to use. This option accepts an HTML value to define either the text or an image to use as the link. If an image is defined, it can be either as a relative or an absolute URL. For example:
ICON_BUT_CANCEL=<img src="/screens/cancel.gif" alt="Cancel" border="0" />
or
ICON_BUT_CANCEL=<SPAN CLASS="cancelStyle">"your text"</SPAN>
If this option is not defined, the system uses the value of the BUT_CANCEL option. If neither option is defined, the system uses the following default:
ICON_BUT_CANCEL=Cancel
This option can vary by scope and language.
ICON_BUT_CLOSEWINDOW[scope][_lang]
This option defines the display properties for the Close Window link. Clicking this link closes a popup window. This option accepts HTML as a value to define an image or text. Images can be either relative or an absolute URL. For example:
ICON_BUT_CLOSEWINDOW=<img src="/screens/closewindow.gif" alt="Close Window" border="0" />
or
ICON_BUT_CLOSEWINDOW=<strong>Close Window</strong>
If this option is not defined, the system uses the value of the BUT_CLOSEWINDOW Web option. If neither Web option is defined, the system uses the following setting:
ICON_BUT_CLOSEWINDOW=Close window
This option can vary by scope and language.
ICON_BUT_CLOSEWN[scope][_lang]
This option defines the display properties for the Close Window link. Clicking this link closes a popup window. This option accepts HTML as a value to define an image or text. Images can be either relative or an absolute URL. For example:
ICON_BUT_CLOSEWN=<img src="/screens/closewn.gif" alt="Close Window" border="0" />
or
ICON_BUT_CLOSEWN=<SPAN CLASS="strong">Close Window</strong>
If this option is not defined, the system uses the value of the BUT_CLOSEWN Web option. If neither Web option is defined, the system uses the following setting:
ICON_BUT_CLOSEWN=Close window
This option can vary by scope and language.
ICON_BUT_RET2CAT[scope][_lang]
This option defines the display properties for the Return to Catalog link. Clicking this link takes the user to the previous catalog page. This option accepts HTML as a value to define an image or text. Images can be either relative or an absolute URL. For example:
ICON_BUT_RET2CAT=<img src="/screens/ret2cat.gif" alt="Return to Catalog" border="0" />
or
ICON_BUT_RET2CAT=<SPAN CLASS="strong">Return to Catalog</strong>
If this option is not defined, the system uses the value of the BUT_RET2CAT Web option. If neither Web option is defined, the system uses the following setting:
ICON_BUT_RET2CAT=Return to Catalog
This option can vary by scope and language.
ICON_BUT_STARTOVER[scope][_lang]
This option defines the display properties for the Start Over link. Clicking this link takes the user to the Opac Menu page. This option accepts HTML as a value to define an image or text. Images can be either relative or an absolute URL. For example:
ICON_BUT_STARTOVER=<img src="/screens/startover.gif" alt="Start Over" border="0" />
or
ICON_BUT_STARTOVER=<SPAN CLASS="strong">Start Over</strong>
If this option is not defined, the system uses the value of the BUT_STARTOVER Web option. If neither Web option is defined, the system uses the following setting:
ICON_BUT_STARTOVER=Start Over
This option can vary by scope and language.
ICON_BUT_SUBMIT[scope][_lang]
This option defines the display properties for the Submit link. Clicking this link submits a form. This option accepts HTML as a value to define an image or text. Images can be either relative or an absolute URL. For example:
ICON_BUT_SUBMIT=<img src="/screens/submit.gif" alt="Submit" border="0" />
or
ICON_BUT_SUBMIT=<SPAN CLASS="strong">Submit</strong>
If this option is not defined, the system uses the value of the BUT_SUBMIT Web option. If neither Web option is defined, the system uses the following setting:
ICON_BUT_SUBMIT=Submit
This option can vary by scope and language.
ICON_CANCEL[scope][_lang]
This option defines the graphic image to use for the Cancel button in some forms. See also BUT_CANCEL; use of BUT_CANCEL versus ICON_CANCEL is specific to each form. See the description of the form to determine which option to use. The value of ICON_CANCEL is HTML, defining either the text or an image to use as the link. If an image is defined, it can be either as a relative or an absolute URL. For example:
ICON_CANCEL=<img src="/screens/cancel.gif" alt="Cancel" border="0" />
or
ICON_CANCEL=<SPAN CLASS="cancelStyle">"your text"</SPAN>
If this option is not defined, then a system-generated text link will display.
This option can vary by scope and language.

If this option is not defined, the system uses the following default setting:
ICON_CLEAR_FORM=Clear Form
ICON_COOKIE_OK[_lang]
If you've added the COOKIE_NOTIFY option, you can use this option to customize the OK link in the cookie notification message. Enter an HTML value that specifies the image or text to use.
This example specifies an image:
ICON_COOKIE_OK=<img src="/screens/cookieOk.gif" alt="Got it!" />
(In the example, the image resides in the screens directory.)
This example specifies text:
ICON_COOKIE_OK=<strong>Got it!</strong>
This option can vary by language.
ICON_DELETE_SELECTED[scope][_lang]
This option defines display properties for the Delete Selected icon. This option accepts an HTML value that defines the text or an image to use as the link. For example:
ICON_DELETE_SELECTED=<strong>Delete Selected</strong>
For a graphic link example:
ICON_DELETE_SELECTED=<img src="/screens/delete_selected.gif" alt="Delete Selected" border="0" />

ICON_SELECT_ALL=Select All
This option can vary by scope and language.
ICON_SUBMIT[scope][_lang]
This option defines the graphic image to use for the Submit button in some forms. See also BUT_SUBMIT; use of BUT_SUBMIT vs. ICON_SUBMIT is specific to each form. See the description of the form to determine which option to use. The value of this option is HTML, defining either the text or an image to use as the link. If an image is defined, it can be either as a relative or an absolute URL. For example:
ICON_SUBMIT=<img src="/screens/submit.gif" alt="Submit" border="0" />
If this option is not defined, then the system displays a system-generated text link. If you do not define this option, check your forms to verify that system-generated scripts function as expected.
This option can vary by scope and language.
ICON_UPDATELIST[scope][_lang]
This option defines the Remove Marked Records from This List button on the Book Cart form. This option accepts an HTML value that defines the text or an image to use as the link. For example:
ICON_UPDATELIST=<strong>Remove Marked Records</strong>
For a graphic link example:
ICON_UPDATELIST=<img src="/screens/updatelist.gif" alt="Remove Marked Records" border="0" />
If this option is not defined, the WebPAC uses the following default setting:
ICON_UPDATELIST=Remove Marked Records from This List
This option can vary by scope and language.
INNOVATIVE_FOOTER
This option controls the placement and type of Innovative branding that appears at on the Main Menu and OPAC Menu pages. Valid values are:
INNOVATIVE_FOOTER=[placement]|[type]
| Element | Description | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| [placement] | This element defines where the Innovative branding appears at the bottom of the Main Menu or OPAC Menu pages. Valid values are: "left", "center", or "right". | ||||||
| [type] | This element defines the wording for the Innovative branding that appears at the bottom of the Main Menu or OPAC Menu pages. Valid values are: 'a' or 'b'.
|
If this option is not defined, WebPAC uses the following default setting:
INNOVATIVE_FOOTER=center|a
INSERTTAG_HTML[_lang]
This option replaces the value of the <HTML> tag in any system-generated page in the WebPAC. The value of this option is expressed in HTML and can be used to define DOCTYPE attributes for different organizations.
This option accepts a %d placeholder. WebPAC replaces the %d placeholder with the HTML document directionality attribute (either dir="LTR" for left-to-right text display or dir="RTL" for right-to-left text display).
For example:
INSERTTAG_HTML=<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd" %d><html lang="en">
Setting this Option
This option is pre-defined in most of Innovative's example screen sets. This option should only be modified by staff with a good working knowledge of HTML.
This option can vary by language.
INSERTTAG_INHEAD[_lang]
This option inserts HTML before the </HEAD> tag in any system-generated page in the WebPAC, such as <meta> tags, alternate stylesheets, or scripts your organization uses. For example:
INSERTTAG_INHEAD=<meta http-equiv="Content-Script-Type" content="text /javascript" />
You can include multiple HTML tags for the value of this option by including them on a single line. For example:
INSERTTAG_INHEAD=<meta http-equiv="Content-Script-Type" content="text /javascript" /><LINK HREF="style.css" REL="Stylesheet" TYPE="text/css" />
Do not include line breaks in the value for this option.
Setting this Option
- The system only recognizes one INSERTTAG_INHEAD Web option per language. Do not include multiple versions of this option to define different HTML tags.
- This option is pre-defined in most of Innovative's example screen sets. This option should only be modified by staff with a good working knowledge of HTML.
This option can vary by language.
REFRESH_MESSAGE[_lang]
This option defines a descriptive label that displays when the WebPAC shows a HTTP "429 Too Many Requests" error response. This response normally happens when users click the Refresh function too many times in a short period of time (normally 3 seconds).
The option value is:
REFRESH_MESSAGE=[message]
Where [message] is text or HTML markup. For example:
REFRESH_MESSAGE=Page refreshed too soon. Please try again in 3 seconds.
This option does not have a default value. If this option is not set, the WebPAC does not display an additional message with an HTTP 429 error.
RESOURCETABLE[_lang]
This option defines the attributes of the table where content links (including INN-Reach, Partners, Z39.50, EBADDRESS, and WEBADDRESS defined links) are displayed in the public mode. If this option is not defined, content links display at the top of the browse display and bibliographic display in the button bar.
NOTE
If your organization uses the WebBridge product, you can enable this option to display individual WebBridge resource icons or text links. For details, see the WebBridge Tutorial on CSDirect.
The format is:
RESOURCETABLE=[CELL ATT]|[TABLE ATT]|[SIZE]|[TITLE]
Do not use the "width" attribute in a <TD> HTML tag when setting this option. Setting a "width" value conflicts with the <SIZE> attribute.
| [CELL ATT] | This element defines the attributes for the cell where the content links table is inset. |
| [TABLE ATT] | This element defines the attributes for the content links table. |
| [SIZE] | This element defines the percentage of screen space used by the content links table. By default, the value is 15. |
| [TITLE] | The HTML attributes defining text or the image used as the title in the first row of the content links table. |
For example:
RESOURCETABLE=VALIGN=TOP ROWSPAN=2|BORDER=3 CELLSPACING=1|25|RESOURCES
NOTE
Note that the opening < and closing > brackets are not provided for the <CELL ATT> and <TABLE ATT> elements in the example above. The WebPAC assigns these elements as values for the <TD> and <TABLE> tags, respectively.
For example, the <CELL ATT> element of "VALIGN=TOP ROWSPAN=2" creates a <TD VALIGN=TOP ROWSPAN=2> tag.
This option can vary by language.
- See Also
- WEBADDRESS
RIGHT_CELL_WIDTH
This option defines the width of the rightmost column in the browse and bibliographic level displays in the WebPAC.
NOTE
If you have defined the RESOURCETABLE Web option, then the resource table will appear in the rightmost column and will be affected by the RIGHT_CELL_WIDTH option setting.
This option accepts the following values:
RIGHT_CELL_WIDTH=<browse>|<bib>
| Value | Description |
|---|---|
| <browse> | This defines the column width for the rightmost column in the browse display. |
| <bib> | This defines the column width for the rightmost column in the bibliographic display. |
If this option is not defined, the WebPAC uses the following default setting:
RIGHT_CELL_WIDTH=25|25
SSLPORT
This option specifies the secure port for the WebPAC. Defining this option activates Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) functionality for the WebPAC. See Using SSL for details on SSL and WebPAC.
More than one SSLPORT Web option on your system can break SSL. To set multiple ports for SSL, define a single SSLPORT Web option with all necessary values.
This option is defined as follows:
SSLPORT=[unsecured_port]:[secure_port]
| Value | Description |
|---|---|
| [unsecured_port] | This value is the port your WebPAC runs on (by default this is port 80). |
| [secure_port] | This value is the port your secure (SSL) WebPAC runs on (by default this is port 443). |
For example:
SSLPORT=80:443
If your library uses additional secure ports, set this option as follows:
SSLPORT=[unsecured_port]:[secure_port]|[unsecured_port]:[secure_port]|...
In Sierra 6.2 and earlier, if your library uses web-based Z39.50 searching and SSL for secure logins, this Web option must include additional port entries to enable return to catalog or return to patron record from a Z39 session (typically "211:443"). For example:
SSLPORT=80:443|2082:444|211:443
If your library is running Sierra 6.3 or later, you do not need to enter a return port for Z39.50 searches.
If your WebPAC server has a commonly-used alias that is different from the name on your SSL certificate, you can add the alias using the following values:
SSLPORT=[unsecured_port]:[secure_port]:[unsecured_name]:[secure_name]
| Value | Description |
|---|---|
| [unsecured_name] | This value is the alias for the non-secure port (for example, library.opac.edu). |
| [secure_name] | This value is the common name as defined in your SSL certificate (for example, secure.opac.edu). |
For example:
SSLPORT=80:443:everyone.opac.edu:secure.opac.edu
NOTE
If your library uses a firewall, you must open secure ports (for example, port 443) in order for SSL to work.
STARTOVER[scope][_lang]
This option specifies the command link or URL the WebPAC uses when the user selects the START OVER button from a search results page (i.e., a display of a single record or a group of records). For example:
STARTOVER=/screens/restart.html
Whe users click the START OVER button from a search results page, this setting directs users to a library-created restart.html file.
If this option is not defined, the WebPAC loads the opacmenu.html page appropriate to the current language when users click the START OVER button from a search results page.
See also the PSTARTOVER and XSTARTOVER options.
NOTE
If you are using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) and setting the STARTOVER Web option to a specific Web page, you must use a relative URL rather than an absolute URL. For example, if you have set STARTOVER to:
STARTOVER=http://my.lib.edu:80/screens/startover.html
You must change the URL to:
STARTOVER=/screens/startover.html
This option can vary by language.
STATGROUP
This option specifies the Statistics group to which information on Web searches, user requests, and Ecommerce payments are logged. Normally, all WebPAC users are gathered into a single statistics group (usually 800). For example:
STATGROUP=800
To use the Statistics group of the login through which users access the Web Server, enter the word login instead of a Statistics group number. For example:
STATGROUP=login
In this case, information on searches, requests, and Ecommerce payments performed by each user is logged to the Statistics group to which the login belongs. See also Administering User Accounts.
If no statistics group is assigned to the login used for Web searching, requesting, or Ecommerce payments, the WebPAC uses statistics group 800 as the default.
STYLESHEET[scope]
This option specifies a cascading style sheet that the WebPAC applies to all pages that it generates (e.g., browse displays, patron information pages, etc.). The style sheet may be identified either as a file in the '/screens' directory on the Innovative server or as a URL which points to a style sheet on another server. For example:
STYLESHEET=/screens/webopac.css
or
STYLESHEET=http://some.other.server/styles/webopac.css
This option can vary by scope.
STYLESHEET_ENCORE[scope]
This option specifies a cascading style sheet that the WebPAC applies to pages when the My Encore feature is enabled. You can specify the style sheet either as a file in the /screens directory on the Innovative server or as a URL which points to a style sheet on another server. For example:
STYLESHEET_ENCORE=/screens/webpac_encore.css
or
STYLESHEET_ENCORE=http://some.other.server/styles/encore_webpac.css
This option can vary by scope.
SUPPRESS_OPTION[_P#]
This option specifies the names of graphic buttons to suppress from WebPAC pages. The value is a comma-separated list of the button's names, without the "BUT_" or "ICON_BUT_" prefix. For example:
SUPPRESS_OPTION=ENCYCPD,EMAIL,ILL_HOME
This suppresses the BUT_ENCYCPD, ICON_BUT_ENCYCPD, BUT_EMAIL, ICON_BUT_EMAIL, BUT_ILL_HOME, and ICON_BUT_ILL_HOME buttons.
ICON Web Options
The SUPPRESS_OPTION Web option suppresses ICON_BUT_* Web options but does not suppress other ICON_* Web options.
This option can vary by patron type (P TYPE).
To suppress the display of buttons for users logged in to My Account, you must include a SUPPRESS_OPTION Web option for each affected P TYPE. For example, to suppress the display of BUT_ANOTHER for users logged in to My Account, you must set the following for each affected P TYPE:
SUPPRESS_OPTION_P[#]=ANOTHER
TIMEOUT
This option specifies a timeout interval (in seconds) and the target URL to access if the patron has not selected an option on a WebPAC-generated page within the timeout period. The option value is:
TIMEOUT=[interval];URL=[URL]
Where [interval] is the number of seconds before the WebPAC times out the session and [URL] is the target URL the WebPAC displays after the timeout takes place. Note that the two values are semicolon (';') delimited and the ;URL= portion of the value is case-sensitive. For example:
TIMEOUT=300;URL=http://www.stateu.edu/screens/opacmenu.html
Note that this option only affects WebPAC-generated screens, such as search result pages or display of patron information. For library-created HTML pages, such as the mainmenu.html, opacmenu.html, or the various srchhelp_*.html pages, you can add a timeout period within a <meta> tag.
For example, You can specify a timeout period of 90 seconds as shown below:
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="90;url=http:/screens/opacmenu.html">
<title>Subject search</title>
</head>
After 90 seconds of inactivity, the WebPAC loads the opacmenu.html file.
NOTES
- To automatically log a non-staff My Account user out upon timeout, set the second element of the TIMEOUT Web option to use the / (return to the Main Menu) command link. For example, the following setting logs non-staff users out of MyAccount after 300 seconds:
TIMEOUT=300;URL=/ - Users listed in the STAFF Web option are not subject to the TIMEOUT Web option.
TOPLOGO[scope][_lang]
This option specifies an image or text to display on the top line of WebPAC screens. For example:
TOPLOGO=<CENTER><img src="/screens/inno-bar.gif">
<ALT IMG="Your Innovative library catalog"></CENTER>
An external HTML file can be specified as the source of the top line by preceding the URL or filename with the '@' character, as shown in the example below:
TOPLOGO=@screens/mytoplogo.html
Note that in this example, the file resides in the screens/ directory.
The <--{toplogo}--> token controls the placement of the TOPLOGO value on all HTML forms and files in the the live/screens and staging/screens directories.
This option can vary by scope and language.
UPDATECIRC
This option allows libraries with a policy of dropping patrons with no circulation activity, to enable authenticated use of the WebPAC to be counted as activity and be logged in the Last Circ Activity date in the patron record. This option accepts a boolean value. For example:
UPDATECIRC=true
When this option is set to a "true" value (any word starting with 't', 'T', 'y', 'Y', or the number '1'), the WebPAC updates the CIRCACTIVE field in the patron record to the current date after successful authentication (for example, to place a request, view the patron record, or use a licensed database).
NOTE
Do not set this option to "true" on an INN-Reach central server because there are no patron records to update on the central server. If the option is set to "true" on an INN-reach central server, a system error results.
If this option is not defined, or does not exist, then the WebPAC activity will not update the Last Circ Activity date in the patron record.
WEBLINKS_ENCORE
This option enables the My Encore feature. Valid values are:
| Value | Description |
|---|---|
| 0 | My Encore is not enabled. |
| 1 | My Encore is enabled for users who started in Encore or have been to Encore in the current browser session. |
| 2 | My Encore is enabled for all users regardless of whether users have accessed Encore in the current browser session. |
If this option is not defined, the system uses the following default:
WEBLINKS_ENCORE=0
XSTARTOVER[scope][_lang]
This option defines the command link or URL the WebPAC uses when the user selects the START OVER button while viewing the screens sent by the WebPAC in response to the /acquire, /ftlist, /illx, /patroninfo, or /suggest commands. For example:
XSTARTOVER=/search
In this example, when the user selects START OVER from within any of the above-named functions, the system returns the opacmenu.html page.
If the PSTARTOVER option is not defined and the user selects the START OVER option or button from the /patroninfo screen, then the system uses the value of the XSTARTOVER option for the URL or HTML page to load. If neither the PSTARTOVER nor the XSTARTOVER option are defined, the system sends the mainmenu.html page appropriate to the current language to the browser (e.g., mainmenu.html, mainmenu_frc.html, etc.).
See also the STARTOVER option, which specifies a page to load when the user selects START OVER from a search result screen.
NOTE
If you are using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) and setting the XSTARTOVER Web option to a specific Web page, the value must use a relative URL rather than absolute URL. For example, if you have set XSTARTOVER to:
XSTARTOVER=http://my.lib.edu:80/screens/xstartover.html
You must change the URL to:
XSTARTOVER=/screens/xstartover.html
This option can vary by language.
