Select bibliographic entities for display and edit labels

To select entities for display and edit their labels for PowerPAC bibliographic search results:

Note:
You need the permission Modify bibliographic record title displays: Allow to do this procedure.

1. In the Administration Explorer tree view, open the Profiles folder for the organization, and click the PowerPAC tab in the details view. To see the PowerPAC profiles, select the appropriate level - System, Library, Branch.
2. Double-click Title Display: Configure. The Title Display: Configure dialog box opens.

3. Select the view you want to configure from the Configuration view menu.

Note that you can configure separate displays for monographs and serials. The system uses your serials configurations for bibliographic records where LDR/07 = b or i or s.

The Available entities list on the left side of the dialog box displays the entities that can be added to a view.

Note:
The Available entities list may include both system-supplied and custom entities. Custom entities are defined at the system level only. See Define custom entities. You can also edit many existing entities. See Edit a bibliographic entity definition.

The Display these entities list on the right side of the dialog box lists those entities that are currently selected for the configuration view.

“Short” entities are not repeatable for a single view. “Long” entities are repeatable within a single view. You can double-click the edge of a column header to expand the column and display the full text if necessary.

4. To see what tags, indicators and subfields are included in an entity, hover the cursor over the entity for a quick view, or right-click and select Properties from the context menu. The Entity Properties dialog box opens.

5. To add an entity to the view, click the entity in the Available entities list and then click Add.The entity is added to the Display these entities list.
6. To remove an entity from the view, click the entity in the Display these entities list and then click Remove.
7. If the Available Entities or Display these entities list does not include the data element you want to display, follow these steps:

1. Click the Browse icon  at the top of the Available entities list. The Browse Entities dialog box opens.

2. In the Browse Entities dialog box, select the entity you want to add to the Available entities list. You can hover the cursor over an entity to see its properties.
3. Click Reveal.  The entity now appears in the Available entities list and can be selected for display.

Note:
You can shorten the Available entries list to reduce scrolling. Select the entity that you want to remove, right-click and select Suppress from the  context menu, or click the Suppress icon  at the top of the Available entities list. To add an entry back to the list, repeat steps a-c.

8. To edit the default English label for an entity, and to enter or change the labels for other languages, follow these steps:

1. Right-click the entity in the Available entities or the Display these entities list, and select Labels from the context menu, select Edit Labels from the Entity Properties dialog box, or click the Change Labels icon  at the top of the Available entities or Display these entities list. The Change Labels dialog opens for the entity you selected.

Tip:
You can also edit the labels using Polaris Language Editor (WebAdmin). The Mnemonic field at the top of the Change Labels dialog box displays the language string ID for the entity’s label. In Polaris Language Editor, select the ERMSPortal “product” to edit entity labels. For more information about using Polaris Language Editor, see online Help for Polaris Language Editor.
