Configuring the Journal Search
Click Journal Search and A-Z List from the Configuration section of the Setup & Administration area and click the Main tab.
The following sections are available:
- General
- Content
- Design
- Search/Results
- Languages
General
Click General to display the following page:
The following table describes the options on this page:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Select Profile | Select which profile is affected by changes made in the Content, Design, Search/Results, and Languages sections. |
| Create Custom Profile | Click Create custom profile to display the Profile name field |
| Profile Name | Enter a name for the new profile and click Create Profile. See |
| Default URL for your Journal Search and AZ list | The default URL for your Journal Search and AZ list that you can integrate into a Web page. |
| Active Settings | If you want to switch to the new version of the A-Z list, select New Version and click Submit to make the new version settings your active settings. |
| Transfer your settings from the old AZ list to the new version | Click Submit to switch to the new version settings. |
Both the Journal Search and the old A-Z list use the same index. For those configuration options that require re-indexing you can either use the new, or the old settings, but not both in parallel. The following symbols indicate the areas that require reindexing:
- ! – Requires rebuild of Journal Search index only
- !! – Requires rebuild of RSI and Journal Search indexes
It is possible to define Journal Search profiles (for example, in a consortium environment, for the different institutes defined in a particular instance). To do this, click Create custom profile from the General section. The profile name field is displayed. Enter a name for your custom profile and click Create profile.
For custom profiles, it is possible to define the same parameters that exist for the DEFAULT profile. Additionally, you need to define a profile name that is used in the URL when accessing the A-Z List for this profile. For example, if the profile named Boston is created, the URL to access this A-Z List is:
http://<sfx_server>:<port>/<instance>/az/boston
It is possible in the A-Z List to include institute information as part of the SFX base URL.
The A-Z URL is in the following format:
http://<SFX_base_URL><-institute>/az/<institute>
This institute information is retained when searching or browsing the A-Z List and when using outside links such as the SFX menu.
In the additional profiles, it is possible to add, delete, and edit profiles for one institute, multiple institutes, or groups. This can be done in the Content section of each additional profile:
Select an institute from the box to have the Journal Search function like the SFX menu, so that selecting an institute results in an Journal Search that contains everything active for this institute, for groups with which it is affiliated, or active by default.
Inactive settings are taken into account. For example, inactive settings for an institute or a higher-ranked group override active defaults or lower group settings. With this option selected, the DEFAULT institute cannot be selected independently because it is included by inheritance when selecting any other institute or group.
If more than one institute or group is selected, the Journal Search includes anything active for the institutes, groups, and defaults selected. Inactive institutes and group settings are ignored. This option is similar to the way the current Journal Search is calculated.
For more information about institutes, refer to the Institute Feature section of the SFX Advanced User's Guide.
