A-Z List Custom Profiles
It is possible to define A-Z profiles (for example, in a consortium environment, for the different institutes defined in a particular instance). To do this, click Edit custom profiles. The following dialog box opens, displaying the available A-Z List profiles.
A-Z Profiles
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. In the example above, the profile named Boston was created.
The profile name cannot include spaces or punctuation – only alphanumeric characters.
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.
When multiple institutions are defined within same profile, configuration should be done by IP ranges and not by including the institution name in the 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:
Institutes in the A-Z List
Select an institute from the box to have the SFX A-Z List function like the SFX menu, so that selecting an institute results in an SFX A-Z List 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 A-Z list 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 A-Z List is calculated.
For more information about institutes, refer to the Institute Feature section of the SFX Advanced User's Guide.
