Encore 4.7 Features and Enhancements
Encore 4.7 includes the following features and enhancements:
- New Content Links
- Harvesting Logging
- Performance Improvements
- Autosuggest for Catalog and Images
- Encore Suites Beta Launch
New Content Links
For libraries with harvested digital collections, Innovative added the capability to select values in the dc:creator, dc:collection, and dc:subject fields to initiate a search for related records.
Harvesting Logging
For customers that have Encore harvester enabled, we have added the capability to review historical logs which contain the details of harvest profile runs within the past 30 days. These historical logs provide details for each harvest job initiated, as well as error logs and informational messages to assist in troubleshooting harvesting and/or repository problems.
Performance Improvements
Innovative has made the following performance improvements:
- Reduction of memory consumption and response times for large libraries with complex request rules.
- Significant reduction in facet load times when the Series facet is enabled.
- Improvements to Suites caching to improve response times.
Autosuggest for Catalog and Images
A suggestion drop-down has been added to pull suggested results from the catalog or from a harvested digital repository. These suggestions assist users in the Discovery process.

Encore Suites Beta Launch
Encore Suites allows multiple institutions on a shared Sierra & Encore system to customize each Encore instance individually.
With Suites enabled, each institution can:
- Brand their suite by using a logo and controlling the colors of fonts and labels.
- Configure Encore's tabs and facets specifically for their users.
- Offer to their users only those digital resources available to them, such as their subscriptions to EBSCO, OverDrive, cloudLibrary, and Axis360 digital content.
- Display OAI-PMH compliant repositories specific to their institution.
Suites functionality has also been developed in Encore Mobile. Encore can accommodate up to 140 suites. Note that scoping must be enabled for Suites.
