360 Link: Administration Console -- Custom Text

If you are not certain how to access the administration console from either Intota or the Client Center, see the introduction to using the Administration Console to configure 360 Link.

Clicking on the "+" symbol to the left of a custom text group heading will display the custom text description, its default text, and its current text. Likewise, the Expand All and Collapse All buttons at the top of the section will expand and collapse all custom text groups. Note the Link 2.0 group heading towards the bottom of the page, it contains many items relevant to 360 Link with Index-Enhanced Direct Linking, such as items on the Sidebar Helper Frame.

• The left side language dropdown menu allows you to change languages as selected on the Languages page. Custom texts can be customized in these languages.
• The Basic / Advanced drop-down menu divides the texts into ones that are more commonly customized ("basic") and texts that are less commonly customized ("advanced").
• The right side Search box provides the ability to search the custom texts by Description (description of the label or message), Default Text (the text ProQuest has chosen for each label or message), or Current Text (the text that currently displays to your patrons -- either the default text or a custom text that you have added). The default is to do a search on Description.
   
  
  
  
  When you are done using the Search box, click the "x" button and you will return to the display of custom text groupings.

• You can view your 360 Link display and find the Current Text you want to search on by clicking the Preview button along the right side of the Custom Text screen.
  
  If you have several changes to make, an efficiency step might be to have another browser window open so that you can view your 360 Link in that browser window, and use your other browser window to make changes to Custom Text. Here is a sample live 360 Link URL:
  
  http://[CLIENTID].search.serialssolutions.com/?sid=SS6&id=10.1080%2F08839510050119244
  
  You need to replace [CLIENTID] with your Serials Solutions Client ID. This is the 10-digit code at the beginning of the Serials Solutions URL you use for the E-Journal Portal. For example, if your E-Journal Portal URL is "http://pv2ru5bh3k.search.serialssolutions.com/" then your Client ID is pv2ru5bh3k.
• You can use the following URL to view your Citation Linker page and generate a 360 Link for any citation you would like:
  
  http://[CLIENTID].search.serialssolutions.com/?SS_Page=refiner&SS_RefinerEditable=yes
• If you only need to change the format for dates displayed to patrons, you will find the Custom Text if you search on the default text of MM/dd/yyyy. You can then customize the date display for patrons to an appropriate format. For example, entering dd.MM.yyyy will display dates appropriately for most European libraries, yyyy MM dd for Chinese libraries, and yyyy/MM/dd for Japanese libraries.
  
  NOTE: Capital letters and lower-case letters do matter for the date format: The two MMs for "month" must be capitalized, and the dd and yyyy for "day" and "year" must be lower case.
• You may include HTML codes (for example, <a> </a> and <span> </span>) in your Custom Text entries if you choose. The following are acceptable HTML codes:
  <a> </a>
  <em> </em>
  <strong> </strong>
  <img>
  <font> </font>
  <div> </div>
  <b> </b>
  <span> </span>
  <hr> <hr /> <hr/>
  <br> </br> <br/> <br />
