Header Settings

You can do the following in this tab:

Header

In the Header section, you can define various parts of the header, as described below.

Header Configuration

• ENTITIES: This section defines the entities that display in the header drop down menu, as well as on the homepage of the portal. Examples of entities are Works, Researcher Profiles, Research Collections, Projects, etc. To display an entity in the portal, enable the Active button. You can change the order of entities by dragging and dropping.
  Entities will only display if they contain data.

• CUSTOM LINKS: Here you can configure up to five custom menu links to display in the Portal header, as well as on the dropdown menu on the right of the page. You can include links in the header by selecting Configure from the row actions menu and then selecting the Include in header checkbox.

Custom Links

Footer Settings

In this section you can control logos and copyright for the footer.

Footer

The Footer section includes two types of records: Titles and Entries. Titles are static text intended as a header for a column of links. Entries include a URL and are clickable links.

Social Media

The Social Media Links section enables you to add a link to your organization's various social media pages. The link is not intended for sharing the page being viewed.

Unit Homepage-Tab Visibility

If you want to include a Homepage tab, in addition to selecting the option here, under Tabs, you must also set up the homepage of each organizational unit for which you want to have a homepage. This is done in the organizational unit's settings (Research Management > Manage Organizational Units); if you specify there that it should have a visible homepage (in the Visibility section, select Display unit homepage), the Homepage tab in the portal becomes active. The contents of the homepage should also be configured in the organizational unit's settings. For additional information, see Working with Organizational Units.

In the portal's Organizational Unit Tree, units that are configured to have homepages are marked with a Homepage icon (). 

Optional Homepage Sections

Two optional sections can be added to the organizational units' Homepage tab:

• Unit Collections – Links to collections that are associated with the unit (in the Academic unit field of the collection settings – see Working with Collections).
  Below the links to the unit's collections is a Browse more collections link that takes the user to the institution's Collections browsing page. This is the same link that appears in the Featured collections section of the organization's homepage (see Working with Collections). The text of the link can be modified in the Research Portal table (Configuration menu > Portal & Profiles > General Settings > Labels > Research Portal).
• Unit in Numbers – Unit metrics: outputs produced by researchers in the unit, and how many times they were viewed and downloaded. Note that these metrics are derived from Esploro Analytics data, and are updated once a day.

To activate or deactivate these sections, under Tabs, in the row actions of the Homepage tab, select Configure. The Homepage Configuration section is added to the page.

Select Active for the sections you want to include in the unit's homepage. If you choose to display both sections, you can change the order in which the sections appear in the tab. To do so, in the Homepage Configuration section of the Organizational Unit Tree settings, drag the Move icon () of one of the sections up or down.

The Descriptions of these sections can be modified in the Esploro Portal Org Unit Tree Section Labels table (Configuration Menu > Portal & Profiles > General settings > Labels).

Files and Links Settings

The File and Links section of the Asset page in the portal gives users of the portal access to the asset itself, either in files that are uploaded to Esploro or via links to the relevant material. 

In the Files and Links region of the Asset Page tab, you can use the Active toggle of the Open URL setting to choose what Esploro should do if an asset has no files or links attached to it. When this option is active, Esploro attempts to locate the asset in the organization's library holdings by sending an OpenURL request to Alma (see OpenURL Resolving in the Alma Developer Network). When it is not active, Esploro does nothing.

Details Settings

In the Details region of the Asset Page tab, you can use the Active toggles to choose which properties of the asset to include in the Details section of the Asset page, and drag the Move icons () to change the order in which they appear. In addition, you can change the fields that are displayed for each property, and even choose to display multiple fields for a single property. 

Changing the Fields that Are Displayed for a Property

You can change the field that is displayed in the Details section for each asset property (Label), and add additional fields to the property. If you choose to display more than one field for a single property, you can also choose the characters to use to separate the fields in the display. For example, you could include the copyright date and copyright text together, under the label Copyright, and separated by a semicolon (;). 

To modify the fields that are displayed for an asset property:

1. In the row of the property you want to modify, in the Actions menu, select Configure. The Edit Fields dialog box opens.
   
   
2. To add an additional field to the property, do the following:
   1. Select Add Field.
   2. In the Sub-elements search box, select the field to add.
   3. Select Add. The field is added to the list of fields that are to be included in the property. 
      
      
3. To remove a field from the list, in the Actions menu of the field, select Delete, and then confirm the deletion.
4. When the list of fields is as you want it, select Save. The Edit Fields dialog box closes, and the Details region in the Asset Page tab is updated. 

To change the separator between multiple fields that are displayed for one property (label):

1. At the top of the Details region, under Delimiter, enter the character(s) to use as separators between multiple fields.
2. Select Apply.

To display the Title and Subtitle fields on one line, separated by a colon:

• Use the Title:Subtitle field in one of the following ways:
  • Deactivate the Title and Subtitle properties, and activate the Title:Subtitle property. In this case, the label of the property in the Details section will be Title:Subtitle.
    
    
     
  • Replace the Title field of the Title property with the Title:Subtitle field, and deactivate the Subtitle property. In this case, the label of the property in the Details section will be Title.
    
    

Options for Displaying a List of Creators

A number of properties are available for displaying a list of the asset's creators in its Details section:

• Creators – The role of each creator, and the first affiliation specified for them, are displayed. Any additional affiliations are not displayed in the portal.
• Creators - without role – The roles of creators are not displayed, but all of their affiliations are displayed.
• Creators - without affiliation – The roles of creators are displayed, but their affiliations are not displayed.
• Creators - only name – The names of the creators are displayed, but their roles and affiliations are not displayed.
• Creators - institution only – The roles of creators and their affiliations within the institution are displayed, but affiliations outside the institution are not displayed.
• Creators - all affiliations – The roles of creators and all their affiliations are displayed.
• Creators - all affiliations, without role – All the affiliations of creators are displayed, but their roles are not displayed.

You can choose to include any of these versions of the list of creators in the Details section by adding them to the list of active properties for the section, as explained under Details Settings, above. As their names indicate, the differences between these options relate to whether each creator's name appears in the list with or without certain information:

• Roles – When a role is defined for a creator, if it is displayed, it appears in parentheses after the creator's name.
• Affiliations – When one or more affiliations are defined for a creator, if they are displayed, they appear after the creator's name and role. Depending on the option selected, all affiliations may be displayed, only those that are related to your institution, or only the first affiliation specified for the creator.
