    Intota: Menus

    • Product: Intota

    How can my library incorporate workflow terms specific to our library, and have these terms show up in relevant Intota screens?

    Menu Settings in Intota allow you to create local terms specific to your workflow, so that these terms display in various Intota menus about your licenses, contacts, and other topics. For example, here is a custom "Prepare for Trial" resource status a library uses to help manage their resources:

    The above custom resource status might also be set up in Intota to invoke an Alert to staff involved in the preparation of a trial.


    Access your Menu Settings by clicking Admin on the menu bar and then selecting Menu Settings in the submenu:
