Batch Requesting Form
Command link: None
HTML document: pverify4_web.html
The batch requesting form is used for exporting using the WebPAC Batch Requesting function.
The basic form uses the following tokens:
| <!--{toplogo}--> | The system replaces this token with the <html> and <body> tags that begin an HTML page and displays the value of the TOPLOGO Web option. If you do not supply your own <html> and <body> tags, this must be the first line in the pverify4_web.html file. |
| <!--{patform}--> | The system replaces this token with the <form> inputs for patron validation. |
| <!--{startover}--> | The system replaces this token with a Start Over button which goes to the URL in the PSTARTOVER Web option |
| <!--{bookcart}--> | The system replaces this token with the Book Cart button on the form. The image for this button is defined in either the BUT_EXPORT_VIEW_SAVES or BUT_VIEW_SAVES Web option. |
| <!--{listtable}--> | The system replaces this token with the table of marked records |
| <!--{botlogo}--> | The system replaces this token with the HTML defined in the BOTLOGO Web option. Does not insert the </BODY> and </HTML> tags that finish an HTML page. |

You can create separate custom forms for each combination of language, scope, and patron type by using the following naming convention:
pverify4_web_LANG_s#_p#.html
| LANG | The language code (spi for Spanish, frc for French, etc.). |
| s# | The number of the scope (s1, s2, s3, etc.). |
| p# | The patron type or PTYPE (p0 or p243, etc.). |
For a current example of this form, see the appropriate example set in WebPAC Example Sets and Photoshop Files on CSDirect.
