Enable Mobile PAC branch switching and set branch display order
The Mobile PAC home page includes a Preferences link. You can allow Mobile PAC users to change the connection branch on the Preferences page, and you can set a display order for the branch names.
To set up branch switching:
- In the Administration Explorer tree view, open the Profiles folder for the organization, and select the Mobile PAC tab in the details view.
Note:
Except where noted in this procedure, you can set these profiles at the system, library, or branch level.
- Double-click Branch Switching: Enable, and select Yes. This setting allows patrons to choose branches in the Branch list on the Mobile PAC Preferences page. The chosen branch’s Mobile PAC settings become effective. If you set this to No, the patron can connect only to the organization represented by the Mobile PAC connection URL. See Set the Mobile PAC Connection URL.
- If you set Branch switching: Enable to Yes, set the PAC profile Branch list Order to determine the display order of the branches:
- Select Yes to display the branch names in ascending alphabetical order by name.
- Select No to display the branch names in ascending numerical order by internal organization ID.
Important:
This setting also affects Polaris PowerPAC.
With either setting, the system organization is always first. The setting for the current connection branch is used. The profile also controls the display order of the list of pick-up branches for requests, but the setting for the patron’s registered branch is used for the pick-up branch list.
Note:
Use the system-level PAC profile Suppress branches to suppress a branch from display in the Switch to another branch list. This setting also affects Polaris PowerPAC.
