</ol>
<p class="indent2">If you are adding a target directly under the Root level, the <b>Preview Search Target</b>&#160;box is not available, since the interface does not display the preview target link if it is not associated with a category.</p>
<p class="indent2">If the <b>Preview Search Target</b>&#160;box is checked, the target Display Name is displayed as a link under the category to which the target belongs.</p>
<p class="NoteShade"><b>Note:<br /></b>The preview search target does not automatically display once the category is selected. If you want the same target link to be displayed once the category is selected, set it up again under the appropriate category, leaving <b>Preview Search Target</b>&#160;unchecked.

<p><a name="kanchor2201"></a><a name="IX_setting_in_PowerPAC"></a><a name="kanchor2202"></a><a name="IX_filtering_searches"></a>To set filters on searches from Polaris PowerPAC Childrens Edition, and to allow subject searches scoped by fiction or non-fiction:</p>
<ol>
<li value="1">In the Administration Explorer tree view, open the <b>Profiles</b>&#160;folder for the organization, and select the <b>Childrens PAC</b> tab in the details view.</li>
<li value="2">Double-click <b>Default search limits</b>. The <b>Childrens PAC Default Search Limit</b> dialog box opens.</li>
</ol>
<p class="indent2">
<img src="../../../Resources/Images/DefSearchLimitCPAC.png" alt="" />
</p>
<ol data-mc-continue="true">
<li value="3">To filter searches with a free-text filter, type the Common Query Language command in the <b>Default free text search limit</b>&#160;box, beginning with the Boolean operator <b>and</b>.</li>
</ol>
<p class="indent2">The system constructs the full search command when the user launches a search. The first part of the command (before <b>and</b>) is determined by the users selection in the interface. Your filter determines the second part. The default filter is <b>AND TA=j</b>, which limits the results to titles with a juvenile target audience.</p>
<p class="NoteShade"><b>Note:<br /></b>Structure multi-part filters in either of these two ways:<br /><b>AND TA=j OR TA=a OR TA=b<br />AND TA={list}j, a, b {/list}<br /></b><span class="FM_Emphasis">Not valid:<br /></span><b>AND TA= j, a, b</b></p>
<ol data-mc-continue="true">
<li value="4">To limit search results to titles in certain collections, select the collections in the <b>Collections </b>list.</li>
</ol>
<p class="NoteShade"><b>Tip:<br /></b>If you have collections set up for childrens periodicals, this is a good way to include the periodicals in Childrens PAC search results, since serials records do not include target audience information. The results include titles from the collection <b>OR</b>&#160;the specified target audience filter.</p>
<p class="indent2">Combining free-text and collections filters works best if you select only the collections intended for children. If all collections are selected, and you specify a free-text filter, the search applies the free-text filter but ignores the collections. If no free-text filter is specified, all the collections are searched, but records that do not specify a collection are ignored. </p>
<ol data-mc-continue="true">
<li value="5">Click <b>OK</b> on the dialog box.</li>
<li value="6">Select <b>File </b>&gt;<b> Save</b>.</li>

<p><a name="kanchor609"></a><a name="IX_Categories_children_s"></a><a name="kanchor610"></a><a name="IX_overview_198"></a>Polaris PowerPAC Childrens Edition offers targets (predefined searches or Web links), organized in categories and subcategories. Children can use categories to find information without typing a search string. When the Childrens PAC profile <b>Categories: Enable</b>&#160;is set to <b>Yes</b>, the default page of the Childrens PAC displays the defined search categories.</p>
<p>
<img alt="dChildPacCategor.gif" style="margin-bottom: 0.000pt;width: 345;height: 169;" id="image7" src="dChildPacCategor_345x169.gif" />&#160;</p>
<p>Polaris PowerPAC Childrens Edition includes a set of default categories and targets that you can use as they are, or edit to suit your purposes. You can also set up your own categories at the system, library, and branch levels. Using the Childrens PAC profile <b>Category construction</b>, you define the categories and subcategories, and the targets to include in the categories and subcategories. You can offer the following types of search targets:</p>
<ul type="disc">
<li><span class="FM_BulletHead">Search</span>&#160;- Launches a defined search in the Polaris database, and displays the results.</li>
<li><span class="FM_BulletHead">Bibliography</span>&#160;- Launches a search for titles you specified when you set up the target.</li>
<li><span class="FM_BulletHead">URL</span>&#160;- Connects to a Web site, which opens in a new browser window. The Polaris PowerPAC Childrens Edition session is maintained.</li>
</ul>
<p class="NoteShade"><b>Note:<br /></b>To allow live-link Web targets, set the Childrens PAC profile <b>Web access: Enable</b>&#160;to <b>Yes</b>. If this profile is set to <b>No</b>, the URL targets appear as text only.</p>
<p>A search target or subcategory can belong to as many categories as you wish. You can copy and paste search targets and categories to organize them in any way that suits the needs of your users. If you have Polaris PowerPAC Childrens Edition multilingual version, you can translate category and target names so that they are displayed in the language the user has selected.</p>
<p>You can display a category or subcategory as a text link, an image link, or both. When a category link is selected, all the subcategory and target links are displayed. If icons are defined for search targets, these are organized in a matrix of links. If no icons are defined, the search targets are also displayed as a list of text links.</p>

<h1><a name="XREF_53821_Managing_Themes"></a>Managing Themes</h1>
<p><a name="kanchor3028"></a><a name="IX_overview_197"></a>Themes determine the page appearance (background, icons, and other page elements) of Polaris PowerPAC Childrens Edition. When you enable themes, children can choose a theme from the options you specify. You can offer some or all the themes that are shipped with Polaris PowerPAC Childrens Edition, and you can develop your own themes.</p>
<p>
<img alt="Themes.gif" style="margin-bottom: 0.000pt;width: 384;height: 212;" id="image0" src="Themes_384x212.gif" />&#160;</p>
<p>Themes are developed at the system level, but you can assign them at the system, library, or branch level, so that each branch can control which (if any) theme options are available. The default theme—the theme that is displayed when users first connect to Polaris PowerPAC Childrens Edition—can also be set at the system, library, or branch level.</p>
<p>Themes are stored in folders that contain sets of image files and a style sheet (.css) file that controls aspects of general page appearance, such as fonts, links, and colors. Each theme has a unique folder on the Web server (<b>Polaris/PowerPAC/children/themes/&lt;language folder&gt;</b>). For example, files for the default Treasure theme (English) are located in the folder <b>Polaris/PowerPAC/children/themes/1033/treasure.</b>&#160;If you are constructing your own theme, set up a unique folder for your files on the Web server, in <b>Polaris/PowerPAC/children/themes/&lt;language folder&gt;</b>.</p>
<p class="NoteShade"><b>Note:<br /></b>Each language is represented by a number. English is represented by 1033, so theme folders for the English version are stored in <b>Polaris/PowerPAC/children/themes/1033</b>. If you have Polaris PowerPAC Childrens Edition Multilingual Version, and you want to offer the same theme in other language versions, place the theme folder in all the appropriate language folders.</p>
<p>Theme folders also contain the image files specified for category and format icons, since these images can change when a different theme is chosen. Categories contain predefined targets, such as searches or Web site URLs. For more information about setting up categories, see <a href="Managing_Search_Categories.htm#XREF_22505_Constructing">Managing Search Categories</a>. Format icons identify the type of material of a title listed in search results, such as a book or a musical sound recording.</p>

<h1><a name="XREF_99628_Customizing_the"></a>Polaris PowerPAC Childrens Edition</h1>
<p>Polaris PowerPAC Childrens Edition is the public access Web interface designed specifically for childrens use. Children can connect to the librarys catalog and services from within the library, or from a remote location such as home or school.</p>
<p>Polaris PowerPAC Childrens Edition is available by specific contract to your library. If your Polaris installation does not include Polaris PowerPAC Childrens Edition, the features described in this section are not available.</p>
<p class="NoteShade"><b>Important:<br /></b>When you change Polaris PowerPAC Childrens Edition settings, you may need to update page caches to see the effects of your changes. See <a href="../PDOMobilePAC/Mobile_PAC_Basics.htm#TOC_Updating_Page_Caches1" class="MCXref xref"><span style="color: Blue;" class="mcFormatColor">Updating Page Caches</span></a>.</p>
<p class="NoteShade" style="font-style: italic;"><b>Note:<br /></b>Polaris PowerPAC and Polaris PowerPAC Childrens Edition are based on ASP.NET programming code. All .aspx page files are editable, and other advanced customizations are available.

You control which of these choices are available. In addition, you can display <b>Fiction</b>&#160;and <b>Non-Fiction</b>&#160;buttons that launch subject searches for the search text, scoped to fiction or non-fiction.

<p>You can also filter all searches to make the results more useful for children by setting a free-text filter (expressed as a Common Query Language search term), by specifying which collections should be searched, or by using a combination of the two strategies.

<p class="NoteShade"><b>Note:<br /></b>Polaris PowerPAC Childrens Edition also offers targets (predefined searches or Web links), organized in categories and subcategories.

<p class="NoteShade"><b>Important:<br /></b>In addition to the filtering and scoping options you set, Polaris PowerPAC Childrens Edition is designed to display item availability information only if there are items available at the local branch.
