Manage Display of Asset Types (Researcher Deposit Configurations)
You can control the display of asset types on the Researcher Deposit form using the Researcher Deposit Configurations page (Configuration Menu > Portal & Profiles > Researcher Profiles > Researcher Deposit Configurations).
Researcher Deposit Configurations Page
You can select one of the following asset type options:
- Frequently used - This list is automatically calculated weekly from those asset types used the most often.
- Suggested only - When selecting this option, you can restrict the asset types the researchers can select to only those that you define. This option is particularly helpful for institutions doing national assessments.
- Suggested on top - As with the Suggested only option, the suggested options are pre-defined, but the suggested items display at the top of the drop-down list, with the entire list appearing below..
- Default sort - The complete list, sorted alphabetically.
The configuration is at the institution level and cannot be set by individual departments or researchers. When selecting Frequently used or Suggested on top, the asset types at the top of the list appear again in the general list below.
