The workstation can be set to log in to the workstations parent branch, or it can be set so that the user can select a branch.</p>
<p>When the <b>Automatic logon</b>&#160;Staff Client profile is set to <b>Yes</b>&#160;for the workstation, the Windows-authenticated user is logged directly into the staff client on that workstation. If the branch-level <b>Logon branch: Access</b>&#160;permission is not set for the workstation, the user is automatically logged on to the workstations parent branch. If the branch-level <b>Logon branch: Access</b>&#160;permission is set for the workstation, the user can select a log-on branch. </p>
<p>The Polaris Log On dialog box is not displayed. If it is necessary to work offline, the staff member selects <b>File, Log Off</b>&#160;from the shortcut bar. The staff member then selects <b>File, Log On</b>&#160;to display the Log On dialog box, where the staff member can supply Polaris log-on credentials and select the <b>Work offline</b> checkbox.</p>
<p>The <b>Work offline</b>&#160;option is also automatically offered when a connection cannot be made to the application server. </p>
<p class="NoteShade"><b>Note:<br /></b>When <b>Automatic logon</b>&#160;is enabled, any user in the Polaris staff client application can select <b>File, Logoff</b>&#160;on the shortcut bar (or press <b>CTRL+L</b>). They can then select <b>File, Logon</b>&#160;(or press <b>CTRL+L</b>) to display the Polaris Log On dialog box, and log in as another user.</p>
<h2>Windows Authentication Without Automatic Logon<a name="TOC_Windows_Authentication"></a><a name="XREF_72956_Windows"></a></h2>
<p><a name="kanchor5366"></a><a name="IX_using_Windows_security"></a>The Staff Client profile <b>Allow Windows authentication when Automatic logon is not enabled</b>&#160;provides integrated security <i>without</i>&#160;automatic logon. This setting displays the Polaris Log On dialog box to users who want to log on more quickly but may sometimes need to log on with different credentials. The profile is available at the system, library, branch, and workstation levels. When the profile is set to <b>Yes</b>, the user can check <b>Use Windows Authentication</b>&#160;on the Log On dialog box. The <b>Name</b>, <b>Password</b>, and <b>Domain</b>&#160;fields are then grayed out, and clicking <b>OK</b>&#160;logs the user on with Windows credentials. </p>
<p>
<img alt="IntegratedSecurityOp.gif" style="margin-bottom: 0.000pt;width: 300;height: 128;" src="IntegratedSecurityOp_300x128.gif" />&#160;</p>
<p class="NoteShade"><b>Important:<br /></b>If the Automatic Logon profile is set to Yes for a workstation, no one else can log on to that workstation using their own credentials because the log-on dialog box does not appear.</p>
<p>Or, the user may choose to leave <b>Use Windows Authentication </b>unchecked, and log on with their own or other Polaris credentials.</p>

<ul type="disc">
<li><span class="FM_BulletHead">Logon branch access permission</span>&#160;- See <a href="../PDpermiss/Permission_Strategies.htm#XREF_11915_Permissions_for">Special Permissions for Rotating Staff</a>.</li>
<li><span class="FM_BulletHead">Automatic logon and PCI compliance</span>&#160;- The library may be required to meet PCI compliance for credit card processing. If so, you must require unique domain user IDs in single-domain networks and follow secure authentication best practices to log on to the workstation, since the automatic log-on feature restricts staff client use to the Windows-authenticated user on the workstation. A generic Windows log-on such as Circ1 would be out of compliance because it would not be possible to trace the transaction back to the staff member who performed it. Library policy also determines PCI compliance. When automatic logon is enabled and another staff user needs to work in the staff client on the same workstation, the library must require that the original user log off the workstation; the new user must log on with their own Windows credentials.</li>

<h1><a name="XREF_77046_Working_with"></a>Editing Parameters, Profiles, and Tables</h1>
<p><a name="kanchor1149"></a><a name="IX_settings_for"></a>Polaris parameter and profile settings, as well as policy and database tables, control how Polaris functions. Most settings are established during Polaris implementation and installation. You can modify most of them as needed through Polaris Administration workforms and the Administration Explorer.</p>
<p>Some organization levels have specific settings not shared with any other level, while other settings are shared. For example, a branch may have its own unique settings for many functions, but inherit other settings from the library and system levels. Polaris uses settings from the lowest organizational level in which they are defined. If a setting is not defined at the lowest organization level (branch), Polaris looks for it at the next highest level (library). If a setting is not found at the library level, the setting defined at the system level is used. Certain parameters and profiles can be set only at a specific organizational level. Some settings can be made at the workstation or staff member level, and these apply only to the workstation or staff member.</p>
<p>For some settings, especially those dealing with cataloging policies, the libraries and branches in your system need to agree on the policies to be implemented because they apply to all organizations. Others must be set individually for every organization in Polaris.</p>
<p class="NoteShade"><b>Note:<br /></b>Polaris Administration settings also control organization security and permissions. See <a href="../PDpermiss/Granting_Permissions.htm#XREF_17585_Granting"><a href="../PDpermiss/Granting_Permissions.htm" class="MCXref xref" xrefformat="{color blue}{paratext}{/color}"><span style="color: Blue;" class="mcFormatColor">Granting Permissions</span></a></a>.</p>

You can set parameters and profiles by any of the following methods:</p>
<ul type="disc">
<li>Going to the organizational level and entering a setting</li>
<li>Giving (transmitting) a setting to multiple lower organizations, workstations, and staff members</li>
<li>Taking (inheriting) the setting from the next level above</li>

All organizations use the setting unless it is changed at a lower level. If the icon is displayed for settings opened at the library and branch level, then the setting is shared by all other organizations in the Polaris installation. <span class="FM_Emphasis">If the setting is changed at the library or branch level, the change applies to the whole system.</span></li>

<li>
<img alt="dIcnBranch.gif" style="margin-bottom: -4.000pt;width: 26;height: 24;" id="image4" src="dIcnBranch_26x24.gif" />&#160;- Setting belongs to the branch organization level. Each branch in the Polaris installation can have its own setting, different from other branches.</li>

<ul>
<li>Acquisitions/Serials</li>

<h1><a name="XREF_32735_About_Staff_Client"></a>Setting Staff Client Profiles </h1>
<p><a name="kanchor450"></a><a name="IX_overview_94"></a>In general, you can set staff client profiles at the system, library, branch, workstation, and staff member levels, although certain staff client profiles are not available at all levels. Settings for organization levels define the default profile settings for subordinate organizations, workstations, and staff members. Each level can have a different setting. If a staff client profile is not set at a particular level, the setting from the level above it is used. You can set staff client profiles from the Administration Explorer or from an administration workform.</p>
<p>The staff client profiles control the following functions in the Polaris staff client:</p>
<ul>
<li>Staff logon - See <a href="Automatic_Staff_Client_Log-On.htm">Automatic Staff Client Log-On</a>.</li>
<li>Barcode formats - See <a href="../PDbarcodes/Defining_Barcode_Formats.htm">Barcode Formats</a>.</li>

<li>Default opening views for records - See <a href="../PDworkforms/Setting_Preferred_Workform_Views.htm">Setting Preferred Workform Views</a>.</li>
<li>Find Tool settings - See <a href="../PDsearch/Setting_Search_Tool_Characteristics.htm">Setting Search Tool Characteristics</a>.</li>

<p><a name="kanchor2546"></a><a name="IX_visual_server_cues"></a>You can set a message to alert the user that he or she is attempting to log on to the staff client on the training server, and once the user has logged on, to indicate the log-on server through custom colors on the title bars of staff client workforms. The user can do such tasks as comparing data from a production and a training environment, easily identifying the data from each client. For example, the user may wish to display parallel workforms from both servers, so that Polaris Administration settings and data can be copied from one to the other.</p>
<p class="NoteShade"><b>Note:<br /></b>These features were developed for use on training or non-production servers, but they are not limited to that situation. You can set the options described in this section on any Polaris application server.</p>
<p>You can set an alert message, custom colors, or both features. Your settings override the workstations Windows display settings because the purpose is to alert the user that he or she is logged into a “special use” server.</p>
<p>When you set custom colors, they appear on the Polaris Shortcut bar and workforms, all dialog boxes, the Report Manager, and the Label Manager. The custom colors override any Windows themes such as color and transparency. The illustration shows some examples of Polaris workforms using the default custom color.</p>

<h1><a name="XREF_52853_Working_with"></a>Working with Tables</h1>
<p><a name="kanchor1748"></a><a name="IX_overview_90"></a><a name="CSH_62"></a><a href="../PDTablesRef/PolicyTabRef.htm">Policy tables</a>, <a href="../PDTablesRef/DataTabRef.htm">database tables</a>, and <a href="../PDTablesRef/NoticeTabRef.htm">notification tables</a> control specific operating polices, database characteristics, and certain telephone notification settings. Table settings cannot be transmitted or inherited. For some tables, the settings apply system-wide, while other table settings must be defined specifically for each organization.</p>
<h2>Administration Tables Displayed at the System Level</h2>
<p><a name="kanchor1749"></a><a name="IX_too_many_rows_in"></a>If a Polaris Administration table has too many rows to display at the system level (more than 5000), a message shows the number of rows and indicates if entries can be added at the system level. For the tables that allow bulk entries at the system level (where the same description is used across multiple branches), you can access the table at the system level and add entries even if the rows exceed the limit. For tables that do not allow bulk entries, you cannot access the table or add entries at the system level if the number of rows exceeds the limit.</p>
<p>The following message appears when you open the Item Statistical Class Codes policy table, the Patron Statistical Class Codes policy table, or the Shelf Locations database table at the system level and the table has more than 5000 rows:<b style="font-style: normal;font-weight: bold;color: #000000;text-decoration: none;letter-spacing: 0.00em;">This table is too large to display at the System level (16241rows). You can insert new rows here. They will be saved and display at the Library and Branch level.</b></p>
<p>You can add entries to these tables for duplicate descriptions across multiple organizations. You can also modify entries for all three tables and delete entries from the Shelf Locations database table at the system level. </p>
<p>When you add or modify entries at the system level, duplicate detection is performed, and a message shows the number of duplicates and the number of successful entries/modifications: </p>
<blockquote><b style="font-style: normal;font-weight: bold;color: #000000;text-decoration: none;letter-spacing: 0.00em;">xx duplicate were found</b>
</blockquote>
<blockquote><b style="font-style: normal;font-weight: bold;color: #000000;text-decoration: none;letter-spacing: 0.00em;">xx rows were inserted/modified successfully.</b>
</blockquote>
<blockquote><b>The duplicates have been removed/replaced</b>
</blockquote>
<p>If the table has 50 rows or more or many branches, you may notice a delay while duplicate detection processing takes place. Tables that may be susceptible to this delay include:</p>
<ul>
<li>Shelf Location </li>
<li>Patron Statistical Codes </li>
<li>Fine Codes </li>
<li>Dates Closed</li>
<li>School/Divisions </li>
<li>Course Terms </li>
<li>Course Names</li>
</ul>
<p>If you attempt to access one of the following tables that do not allow bulk entries at the system level, and that table exceeds 5000 rows, the message displays only the first sentence, <b>This table is too large to display at the System level (21400 rows)</b>.</p>
<ul type="disc">
<li>Fines policy table</li>
<li>Loan Periods policy table</li>
<li>Holds Routing Sequences Primary policy table</li>
<li>Holds Routing Sequences Secondary policy table</li>
<li>Floating: To Branch policy table</li>
<li>Floating: Material Types policy table</li>
<li>Floating: Material Type Limits policy table</li>
<li>Outreach: Included Branches policy table</li>
</ul>
<h2><a name="TOC_Policy_Tables"></a><a name="XREF_72450_Policy_Tables"></a>Policy Tables</h2>
<p><a name="kanchor1750"></a><a name="IX_policy"></a><a name="kanchor1751"></a><a name="IX_overview_91"></a>Policy&#160;tables specify the operating policies of organizations in the system. Some policy tables work together to form organization-specific policies. </p>
<p class="NoteShade"><b>Example:<br /></b>The Patron Codes policy table at the system level defines patron classifications, such as Adult or Staff. The Fine Codes table defines various fine descriptions for an organization, such as Standard Fine Rate and Music CDs, without specifying actual rates. The Fines table establishes the actual organization-specific fine rates based on combinations of Patron Codes and Fine Codes.</p>
<p>Some policy tables can be opened from the Administration Explorer or from an organization workform. Other policy tables are available only from the Administration Explorer or only on an organization workform.</p>
<p>All tables can be opened at the system level. As a general rule, if a table contains no organization ID or name, then the table is used by all organizations. These tables display the same entries at the system, library, and branch levels. If the table contains an organization ID or name, the library or branch can have its own unique entries. </p>
<p>You must have the permission <b>Access tables: Allow</b>&#160;for your organization level to change a specific policy table. Only one person at a time can open a policy table.</p>

<p><a name="kanchor1752"></a><a name="IX_overview_92"></a><a name="kanchor1753"></a><a name="IX_database"></a>Database&#160;tables help define how certain aspects of the Polaris catalog database work, such as authority control and bibliographic indexing, as well as what settings are available in certain fields and drop-down boxes in the Polaris staff client. Some tables are set at implementation and cannot be altered. Other tables can be edited.</p>
<p>Database tables are available from the Administration Explorer at the system, library, and branch levels. Changes to these tables at any level apply to all organizations. To modify a database table, you must have specific permission for the table.</p>
<p>If you need to change a table that cannot be modified from Polaris Administration, either contact Polaris Customer Support or use the SQL Analyzer to directly change the database table. Tables that cannot be modified from Polaris Administration require a complete reindex of the entire database if they are changed.</p>
<p class="NoteShade"><b>Important: <br /></b>Innovative Interfaces is not responsible for your use of the SQL Analyzer to change Polaris database tables.</p>

<h1><a name="XREF_97955_Barcode_Definitions"></a>Barcode Formats</h1>
<ul>
<li>
<p><a name="kanchor820"></a><a name="IX_overview_109"></a>This workflow assumes that patrons who self-register receive a temporary barcode that will be replaced later by staff. </p>
</li>
<li>
<p>If your library supports multiple barcode formats, you cannot use significant digits for the patron barcode.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p class="NoteShade"><b>Note</b>: <br />The Polaris API does not support the plus symbol (+) in barcodes.</p>
<p>A barcode format definition sets the total number of characters in the barcode, including the initial (prefix) characters. The maximum is 20 characters. The prefix characters can be any character or characters — numbers, letters, or special characters, except the asterisk and the plus symbol. The asterisk (*) indicates that any character or length is accepted in the definition. For example, if the barcode prefix is more than one character, the asterisk serves as a wildcard character. This is especially useful if the barcode format includes a check digit or start digit at the beginning of the barcode. For example, a prefix of <b>*3</b>&#160;means the barcode prefix can start with any character, but the second position of the barcode must be a <b>3</b> to be valid.</p>
<p>If you specify just an asterisk for both the prefix and the total length, this means that a barcode may be any length and any prefix. This definition essentially turns off barcode verification for that usage, so any barcode is accepted for the operation. The undefined format is the default setting for both patron and item barcodes.</p>
<p class="NoteShade"><b>Important:<br /></b>If you define barcode formats instead of accepting the default (undefined) setting, Polaris displays more consistent messages when you define <i>both</i>&#160;item and patron barcode formats.</p>
<p>Barcode types can be defined at system, library, and branch levels. Each branch can specify different barcode types for items and patrons. You can define multiple valid formats for both items and patrons, and add and remove definitions as necessary.</p>
<ul type="disc">
<li>If the same barcode types are used by all organizations in the Polaris installation, then you need only define barcode types at the system level.</li>
<li>If different barcode types are used in each organization, define all the types for each library and branch to accommodate cross-borrowing.</li>
</ul>
<p class="NoteShade"><b>Note: <br /></b>Interlibrary loan items can have barcodes that are invalid in your system. You can choose to use the existing barcode or attach a slip with a valid barcode.</p>

<h2><a name="TOC_Significant_Digits_in"></a><a name="XREF_60061_Significant_Digits"></a>Significant Digits in Patron Barcodes</h2>
<p><a name="kanchor821"></a><a name="IX_use_in_patron_barcodes"></a><a name="kanchor822"></a><a name="IX_patron_defining"></a>If all your patron barcodes begin with the same prefix and only the final portion of the barcode is unique to each patron, you can set Polaris to treat the final portion as significant digits. You set the prefix and total length as the default patron barcode format in Polaris Administration. Then, staff can enter just the significant digits in a patron barcode field, and patrons can enter just the significant digits to log on to the PAC. The system automatically supplies the prefix when the user enters significant digits. Also, staff and patrons can omit leading zeros when they enter the significant digits.</p>
<p class="NoteShade"><b>Example:<br /></b>The default barcode format specifies a prefix of 32214, and a length of 14 digits. A patrons barcode is 32214000006871. There are nine significant digits (000006871), but you can enter 6871 because the system adds the leading zeros.</p>
<p>When the significant digits are entered in a patron barcode field, a record is considered a match in these circumstances:</p>
<ul type="disc">
<li>The significant digits added to your defined prefix match the complete barcode in a patron record.</li>
<li>If fewer than the defined number of significant digits are entered, the system adds leading zeros to the defined number of significant digits, and the complete barcode matches the barcode in a patron record.</li>
</ul>
<p class="NoteShade"><b>Important:<br /></b>If your database includes existing patron barcodes with fewer digits than the significant digits defined by the default patron barcode format, you might encounter some problems. Because the leading zeros and prefix are automatically appended, patrons with the “short” barcodes cannot log on in PAC, and staff client workforms such as the Check Out workform do not find them. However, for trouble-shooting purposes, you can search for and open these records from the Patron Record Find Tool (Name or Barcode, Exact match). From the Patron Registration workform, you can change the barcode, or perform operations such as check out.</p>
<ul type="disc">
<li>If more than the defined number of significant digits are entered, and the digits match an entire patron barcode of the same length, the record is considered a match. This is the situation when you scan a complete barcode.</li>
</ul>
<p>When you set a default patron barcode format in Polaris Administration, the following functions are affected:</p>
<ul type="disc">
<li><span class="FM_BulletHead">Patron Find Tool</span>&#160;(search by <b>Barcode</b>) - The Find Tool includes <b>Significant Digits</b>&#160;as a search <b>Type</b>&#160;option. When you select this search type, you can search for just the significant digits. Leading zeros are added as necessary, and the complete barcode appears in the <b>For</b>&#160;field. (If you select <b>Significant Digits</b>&#160;as the search type but enter more than the default number of digits, the search is not likely to yield any results.)</li>
</ul>
<p class="NoteShade"><b>Note:<br /></b>Self-registration barcodes use a custom format that makes them unsearchable using significant digits in the find tool. You can find self registration barcodes using the entire exact barcode or the wildcard <b><i>prefix</i>*</b>. </p>
<ul type="disc">
<li><span class="FM_BulletHead">Check Out workform</span>&#160;- Leading zeros are added as necessary. When a match is found, the complete barcode is displayed.</li>
<li><span class="FM_BulletHead">Offline Check Out workform</span>&#160;- Leading zeros are added as necessary. The complete barcode is displayed and stored. When the offline file is uploaded, the system finds a matching patron record based on the complete barcode.</li>
<li><span class="FM_BulletHead">Patron Registration workform</span>&#160;- Significant digits can be entered into the patron record when the record is created or edited. The system supplies the complete barcode, including any leading zeros, and the complete barcode displays in the patron record. If you enter more than the defined number of significant digits, the system attempts to save the record with the digits you entered as the complete barcode.</li>
<li><span class="FM_BulletHead">Offline patron registration</span>&#160;- The complete barcode is displayed and saved when the offline file is uploaded.</li>
<li><span class="FM_BulletHead">Hold Request workform</span>&#160;(placing a new request) - Leading zeros are added as necessary. When a match is found, the complete barcode is displayed.</li>
<li><span class="FM_BulletHead">Patron Record Set</span>&#160;(add by scanning) - To add a patron record to a record set, enter significant digits in the <b>Barcode</b>&#160;text box of the Scan Barcode dialog box. The system supplies leading zeros, if necessary, and the matching process is the same as in other functions.</li>
<li><span class="FM_BulletHead">PAC log-on</span>&#160;- The patron can enter significant digits to log on. The system supplies leading zeros, if necessary, and the matching process is the same as in the staff client. If a matching record is found, the patron log-on continues. If more than the significant digits are entered, and the digits match a <i>complete</i>&#160;barcode, the patron log-on continues. After a successful log-on, the log-on page and the patron account page display the complete barcode.</li>
</ul>
<p class="NoteShade"><b>Note:<br /></b>When a patron registers online in the PAC, the system assigns a temporary barcode. The patron must enter the full&#160;temporary barcode to log in to the PAC.</p>
<ul type="disc">
<li><span class="FM_BulletHead">Inbound telephony</span>&#160;- The caller can enter the significant digits when prompted to enter the barcode. The system supplies leading zeros, if necessary, and the matching process is the same as in other functions. However, if a duplicate is found, the system responds with a message to contact the library for assistance, and the process stops.</li>
</ul>
<p>The following functions are not affected by the default patron barcode setting: </p>
<ul type="disc">
<li><span class="FM_BulletHead">Polaris ExpressCheck</span>&#160;- Significant digit functionality does not affect Polaris ExpressCheck functions because barcodes are always entered by scanning.</li>
<li><span class="FM_BulletHead">Third-party authentication, SIP, NCIP</span>&#160;- The entire barcode is communicated in these functions.</li>
</ul>

<h1><a name="XREF_40141_Working_in"></a>Defining Barcode Formats</h1>
<p><a name="kanchor5948"></a><a name="IX_validity_checking"></a>You can set Polaris&#160;to distinguish between patron and item barcodes, so that if you scan or type a barcode that is the incorrect type for a barcode field, Polaris displays a warning message. Permission is required to continue to save a record with an invalid barcode. You can define several barcode types for each usage, and specify a default format for patron barcodes.</p>
<p class="NoteShade"><b>Example: <br /></b>Based on your settings, if a barcode designated for patrons is entered in the <b>Barcode</b>&#160;box on the Item Record workform, or if an item barcode was scanned in the <b>Patron</b>&#160;box on the Check Out workform, the staff client displays a warning message.</p>
<p>Polaris checks the barcode value for prefix numbers and barcode length to identify its type and usage. However, Polaris does not check for incomplete scans or check digits. Barcode validity checks are usually done by the scanner software and equipment. </p>
<p class="NoteShade"><b>Note:<br /></b>If a record exists that uses the entered barcode value, the barcode is accepted, even though the barcode may not use a valid definition. It is not always practical to fix a barcode problem during operations where the patron is being served.</p>

<p><a name="kanchor1998"></a><a name="IX_saving_records"></a><a name="kanchor1999"></a><a name="IX_saving_records_with"></a>When a staff member attempts to save an item or patron record with an invalid barcode, the staff member receives an invalid barcode message. Barcode validity is also checked for serial item records generated when serials are checked in or created from the issue record. Examples of invalid barcode messages for item records are illustrated below:</p>
<p class="indent2">
<img alt="BadBarcodeOne.gif" id="image3" src="BadBarcodeOne.gif" />&#160;</p>
<p class="indent2">
<img alt="BadBarcodeTwo.gif" id="image4" src="BadBarcodeTwo.gif" />&#160;</p>
<p>Staff members with the following permissions can continue to save the record:</p>
<ul type="disc">
<li><b>Override invalid item barcode message: Allow</b>&#160;(system-level Cataloging permission)</li>
</ul>
<p class="NoteShade"><b>Note:<br /></b>This permission also controls the ability to generate or create a serial item record with an invalid item barcode.</p>
<ul type="disc">
<li><b>Override invalid patron barcode message: Allow</b>&#160;(system-level Circulation permission)</li>
</ul>
<p class="NoteShade"><b>Note:<br /></b>These permissions are not checked for the following records and operations:</p>
<p class="NoteShade">-- Saving ILL items<br />-- Saving course reserve items<br />-- System-created “PACREG” temporary patron barcodes (created when a patron registers from PAC)<br />-- Generating on-order or in-process items</p>
<p>When the appropriate permission is set to <b>No</b>&#160;and the staff member clicks <b>Yes</b>&#160;on the invalid barcode message to continue to the save the record, a permission block message is displayed.</p>
<p class="indent2">
<img alt="BadBarcodeOverride.gif" id="image5" src="BadBarcodeOverride.gif" />&#160;</p>
<p>An authorized staff member must supply a valid username, password, and domain, then click <b>Override</b>&#160;to allow the record to be saved with the invalid barcode.</p>
<p>At upgrade to Polaris 4.1R2 the permissions are set to <b>Yes</b>&#160;by default. If you prefer to assign the permissions only to selected staff members, set the system level Staff Client profile <b>Permissions: Use Polaris-defined new permission defaults</b>&#160;to <b>No</b> before upgrading to Polaris 4.1R2.</p>

<h1><a name="XREF_42448_Set_up_significant"></a>Set up significant digits for patron barcodes</h1>
<p><a name="kanchor4509"></a><a name="IX_default_barcode_format"></a><a name="kanchor4510"></a><a name="IX_patron_defining_default"></a>A single patron barcode format can be selected at the system level for significant digit use. You specify the prefix and the length, then designate this format as the default. Your settings apply to all organizations in the system. For details about how this setting affects the staff client and the PAC, see <a href="Barcode_Formats.htm#XREF_60061_Significant_Digits">Significant Digits in Patron Barcodes</a>. </p>
<p>To set a default patron barcode for significant digit use:</p>
<ol>
<li value="1">In the Administration Explorer tree view, open the <b>Profiles</b>&#160;folder for the system, and select the <b>Staff Client</b> tab in the details view.</li>
<li value="2">Double-click <b>Barcodes: Patron format definition</b>. The Patron Barcode Formats dialog box appears.</li>
</ol>
<p class="indent2">
<img src="../../../Resources/Images/PatronBarcodeFormat.png" title="Patron Barcode Format dialog" alt="Patron Barcode Format dialog" />
</p>
<ol data-mc-continue="true">
<li value="3">In the <b>Length</b>&#160;box, type the total number of characters (1-20) required in the barcode, including the prefix.</li>
</ol>
<p class="indent2">You cannot leave this field undefined (<b>*</b>) for a barcode that will be specified as the default. You must type a number.</p>
<ol data-mc-continue="true">
<li value="4">In the <b>Prefix</b> box, type the characters that begin the barcode.
<p>You cannot leave this field undefined (<b>*</b>) for a barcode that will be specified as the default. You must type a character or sequence of characters, excluding the plus symbol (+). When significant digits are entered for a patron barcode, the system appends this prefix to form the complete barcode.</p></li>
<li value="5">Click <b>Add</b>&#160;to put the definition in the <b>Current length and prefix formats</b>&#160;list.</li>
<li value="6">Select the new definition in the <b>Current length and prefix formats</b>&#160;list, and click <b>Default On/Off</b>.</li>
</ol>
<p class="indent2">The <b>Default</b> column displays asterisks (<b>***</b>) to indicate that this barcode is used as the default, for significant digit purposes. (To remove the default designation, select the default barcode and click <b>Default On/Off</b>.)</p>
<p class="NoteShade"><b>Note:<br /></b><b>Default On/Off</b>&#160;is available only at the system level because the setting applies to all organizations. Even if the default format is removed from the Patron Barcode Formats dialog box at the branch level, the default format is still in effect because it is defined at the system level.</p>
<p class="indent2">When you change the default, a warning message appears. If your database includes existing patron barcodes with fewer digits than the significant digits defined by the default patron barcode format, you may encounter some problems. Because the leading zeros and prefix are automatically appended, patrons with the “short” barcodes cannot log on in PAC, and staff client workforms such as the Check Out workform do not find them. However, for trouble-shooting purposes, you can search for and open these records from the Patron Record Find Tool (Name or Barcode, Exact match) and change the barcode, or perform operations such as check out from the Patron Registration workform.</p>
<ol data-mc-continue="true">
<li value="7">Click <b>OK</b> on the message box.</li>
<li value="8">Click <b>OK</b> to save your settings.</li>
</ol>

However, if you plan to work with several collections, it may be convenient to list them in the Administration Explorer so you do not have to search for each one. </p>
<p>To list several or all the collections in the system in the Administration Explorer tree view:</p>
<p class="NoteShade"><b>Tip:<br /></b>If you want to work with a specific collection, you can use the Polaris Find Tool to search for and open the collection record. Select <b>Administration</b>, <b>Collection</b>&#160;on the Polaris Shortcut Bar. If you want to work with multiple collections, use the Administration Explorer.</p>

</ol>
<p class="NoteShade"><b>Note:<br /></b>If there are too many collections to display at once, the status bar indicates how many have been loaded. You can press <b>CTRL+SHIFT+A</b>&#160;to load the entire list.</p>

<h1><a name="XREF_22362_Administering"></a>Working with Collections</h1>
<p><a name="kanchor2408"></a><a name="IX_administering_1"></a>A collection record names a collection, tracks which branches use the collection, and designates which branches (if any) are potentially eligible to receive items from the collection if it is allowed to float from branch to branch. After you set up collection records in Polaris Administration, they are available for selection in item records, selection lists, serial holdings records, purchase orders, and invoices. In addition, you can sort and filter searches for item records by collection in the Polaris Find Tool. Collection abbreviations are also used in designation fields of bibliographic records when these are imported for bulk-adding to purchase orders or selection lists, and for shelf-ready cataloging.</p>
<p>Each branch may have its own set of collections, and collections can have the same names used by other branches. In addition, a collection can belong to more than one branch for rotating collections or for shared collections, and you can designate collections as potentially eligible to float from branch to branch. Certain circulation reports also list items by collections.</p>
<p>Special considerations:</p>
<ul type="disc">
<li><span class="FM_BulletHead">Childrens items</span>&#160;- If you offer Polaris PowerPAC Childrens Edition to your patrons, consider setting up collections specifically for childrens items, such as childrens periodicals, if you do not already have them. You can then filter Childrens PAC searches to target these collections.</li>
<li><span class="FM_BulletHead">Floating collections</span>&#160;- If your system uses floating collections, allowing items from certain collections to float from branch to branch at check-in, consider setting up these collections so that all branches that participate in the floating arrangement use the collections. </li>

<h1><a name="XREF_41210_Polaris"></a>Polaris Transactions Database</h1>
<p><a name="kanchor4773"></a><a name="IX_database_1"></a>The tables in the Polaris Transactions Database provide the information necessary to track and report transactions in Polaris.</p>
<p>If you have basic knowledge of writing SQL queries, you can query the Polaris Transactions Database directly to find more information about transaction types and specific transactions. Using Polaris SimplyReports, you can also construct detailed transaction reports without writing SQL queries. Custom queries and reports are also available from Innovative Interfaces for a fee, and you may find additional queries and reports created by Polaris customers that you can download from the Innovative Customer Supportal (https://support.iii.com). </p>
<p>See also:</p>
<ul type="disc">
<li><a href="#XREF_62648_Querying">Querying Transaction Database Tables</a>
</li>
<li><a href="#XREF_57666_Viewing_Specific">Viewing Specific Transactions</a>
</li>
</ul>
<h2><a name="TOC_Querying_Transaction"></a><a name="XREF_62648_Querying"></a>Querying Transaction Database Tables</h2>
<p>You can run an SQL query to find the same kind of information that you select to include in the Polaris transaction log, using the Transaction Logging database table in Polaris Administration (see <a href="Logging_Transactions.htm#XREF_22808_Logging">Logging Transactions</a>). Run the following query:</p>
<p><b style="font-style: normal;font-weight: bold;color: #000000;text-decoration: none;letter-spacing: 0.00em;">Select * From Polaristransactions..TransactionTypes</b>
</p>
<p>The important columns in this table are:</p>
<ul type="disc">
<li><span class="FM_BulletHead">TransactionTypeID</span> - Type of transaction</li>
<li><span class="FM_BulletHead">TransactionTypeDescription</span>&#160;- Brief description of the TransactionTypeID</li>
<li><span class="FM_BulletHead">IsImplemented</span>&#160;- Defines whether Innovative Interfaces has implemented counting this transaction (1=yes, 2=no)</li>
</ul>
<p>When you search the TransactionTypes table, you may want to order by a particular column. &#160;For example, add <b>Order by TransactionTypeID</b>&#160;to group transactions loosely by subsystem. Or add <b>Order by IsImplemented</b>&#160;to group all of the transactions that are currently selected to be logged.</p>
<p>The TransactionSubTypes table provides additional details about the transaction type. Run the following query:</p>
<p><b style="font-style: normal;font-weight: bold;color: #000000;text-decoration: none;letter-spacing: 0.00em;">Select * From Polaristransactions..TransactionSubTypes</b>
</p>
<p>The important columns in this table are:</p>
<ul type="disc">
<li><span class="FM_BulletHead">TransactionSubTypeID</span> - Primary key of the table</li>
<li><span class="FM_BulletHead">TransactionSubTypeDescription</span>&#160;- Brief description of the SubTypeID</li>
</ul>
<p>Each TransactionType has multiple TransactionSubTypes.</p>
<p>ViewTransactions pulls together the information from the TransactionTypes and TransactionSubTypes tables, allowing you to see each type of transaction and the kind of data that Polaris retains. Run the following query:</p>
<p><b style="font-style: normal;font-weight: bold;color: #000000;text-decoration: none;letter-spacing: 0.00em;">Select * From Polaristransactions..ViewTransactions</b>
</p>
<h2><a name="TOC_Viewing_Specific"></a><a name="XREF_57666_Viewing_Specific"></a>Viewing Specific Transactions</h2>
<p>Two tables contain information about specific transactions—TransactionHeaders and TransactionDetails. You will also need to refer to subsequent tables, such as TransactionTypes, TransactionSubTypes, ViewTransactions, and TransactionDetailStrings.</p>
<p>The TransactionHeaders table contains the following basic information about specific transactions:</p>
<ul type="disc">
<li><span class="FM_BulletHead">TransactionID</span> - Unique identifier of the transaction</li>
<li><span class="FM_BulletHead">OrganizationID</span> - Branch ID where the transaction occurred</li>
<li><span class="FM_BulletHead">WorkstationID</span> - &#160;Computer ID where the transaction occurred</li>
<li><span class="FM_BulletHead">PolarisUserID</span> - Staff member ID who created the transaction</li>
<li><span class="FM_BulletHead">TransactionDate</span>&#160;- Date/time when the transaction is saved to the database</li>
<li><span class="FM_BulletHead">TransactionTypeID</span>&#160;- Type of transaction. See the TransactionTypes table.</li>
<li><span class="FM_BulletHead">TranClientDate</span>&#160;- Date/time when the transaction was created on the workstation</li>
</ul>
<p class="NoteShade"><b>Note:<br /></b>The TransactionDate and TranClientDate are usually within milliseconds of each other, but on some occasions they can be different. The TranClientDate is usually more accurate regarding when the transaction was created, unless the date/time is incorrect on the workstation. Make sure that the date/time are correct on your workstations. You can ensure consistency in server and client time settings. See <a href="../PDLocaleTime/Ensuring_Locale_and_Time_Consistency.htm" class="MCXref xref"><span style="color: Blue;" class="mcFormatColor">Ensuring Locale and Time Consistency</span></a>.</p>
<p>The TransactionDetails table contains more details about the specific transaction. The following information is in the TransactionDetails table:</p>
<ul type="disc">
<li><span class="FM_BulletHead">TransactionID</span> - Unique identifier of the transaction</li>
<li><span class="FM_BulletHead">TransactionSubTypeID</span>&#160;- Subtype (detail) that goes with the transaction</li>
</ul>
<p class="NoteShade"><b>Tip:<br /></b>For certain transactionsubtypes, the value in the NumValue field does not point to a specific record ID. Instead, it points to a value in the TransactionDetailStrings table. The transactiondetailstrings are used especially for PAC search transactions, when the author or title of a book or a branch name is recorded in the transactions database.</p>
<ul type="disc">
<li><span class="FM_BulletHead">NumValue</span>&#160;- Corresponds to the TransactionSubType. For example, if the <b>transactionsubtypeid</b> is 38 (<b>itemrecordid</b>), the NumValue displays the specific item record ID. If the <b>transactionsubtypeid</b>&#160;is 6 <b>(patronID</b>), the corresponding NumValue displays the specific patron ID.</li>
<li><span class="FM_BulletHead">DateValue</span>&#160;- Date/time that a transaction occurred; currently used only for the subtypes 185 and 186 (CheckIn date and CheckOut date)</li>
</ul>
<p>To get a full picture of an actual transaction, link the TransactionHeaders and TransactionDetails table using the TransactionID.</p>

<h1><a name="XREF_83202_Changing_System"></a>Changing System Information</h1>
<p><a name="kanchor3957"></a><a name="IX_maximum_number"></a><a name="kanchor3958"></a><a name="IX_administration_level"></a>Information about your Polaris system is stored in the system record, which is created upon initial Polaris installation. The system record is the top level of the Polaris administration hierarchy. It &#160;may represent an organization or consortium with up to 1,000 branches, all sharing the same Polaris installation, or it may represent a single library.</p>
<p>You can change many system settings from either the System workform or the Administration Explorer, although most database tables are set using the Administration Explorer. The system record cannot be deleted.</p>
<p>The system record specifies the following information in the Polaris system:</p>
<ul type="disc">
<li><a name="kanchor3959"></a><a name="IX_for_organizations"></a><a name="kanchor3960"></a><a name="IX_organization_records"></a><a name="kanchor3961"></a><a name="IX_control_number"></a><b>Control number&#160;</b>- The unique record identification number assigned to the organization record and displayed in the workform title bar. This number is used in Polaris code and for special purposes. For example, if you run reports from Reporting Services, you specify an organization filter by control number. The system organization control number is always 1.</li>
</ul>
<ul type="disc">
<li><b>Name of the library system</b>&#160;- The full name, abbreviation, and the display name of the library, cooperative, or consortium that owns and administers the system for all organizations using this installation of Polaris.</li>
<li><b>Address and contact information</b>&#160;- The postal address of the central office, and contact information for the system director or Polaris administrator. These are initially defined in the organization address and contact tables. See <a href="Setting_System_Postal_Codes.htm#XREF_42844_Setting_Postal">Setting System Postal Codes</a>, <a href="Setting_Organization_Addresses.htm#XREF_92850_Setting">Setting Organization Addresses</a>, and <a href="Identifying_Organization_Contacts.htm#XREF_47821_Identifying">Identifying Organization Contacts</a>.</li>
<li><b>Default Country and Default Currency</b> - The default country and the main currency that is used throughout the library system. The default is U. S. dollars. You can specify other currencies to use when ordering materials from foreign vendors. </li>
<li><a name="kanchor3962"></a><b>Default Language</b> - The default language used throughout the library system. (Currently, this setting is English and cannot be changed.)</li>
<li><a name="kanchor3963"></a><a name="IX_setting_attributes"></a><b>Permissions</b>&#160;- In general, Polaris&#160;permissions set at the system level apply only to records that belong to the system organization. Organizations at lower levels must define their own permissions settings. However, the <b>Allow</b>&#160;permissions set with the Security view at the system level are applied to all workstations and staff members in Polaris. See <a href="../PDpermiss/Granting_Permissions.htm#XREF_17585_Granting">Granting Permissions</a>.</li>
<li><b>Parameters, profiles, policies, and database tables</b>&#160;- If set at the system level, the settings are inherited by or used as the basis for settings at subordinate organizations. Some settings are available only at the system level.</li>

<h1><a name="XREF_79758_Identifying_Dates"></a>Identifying Dates Closed</h1>
<p><a name="kanchor5748"></a><a name="IX_overview_102"></a>You specify Dates Closed to indicate dates that an organization is closed when it otherwise would be open for business. For example, a branch is normally open on Tuesday, but in 2013, Christmas falls on a Wednesday. In this case, 12/25/2013 is listed as a date closed. The Dates Closed policy table contains the dates when libraries or branches in the system are closed. Closed dates can be set from the system, library, and branch levels. You can specify different closed dates for each organization in Polaris. </p>
<p>You can open the Dates Closed policy table from an organization workform or the Administration Explorer. The organization level at which the table is opened determines the entries you see in the list and the organizations for which you can specify a closed date:</p>
<ul type="disc">
<li>
<p class="FM_Bullet"><span class="FM_BulletHead">System level</span>&#160;- Displays all libraries and branches with all dates closed for each organization. You can set the most common dates at the system level, so that these dates are also closed dates for all the libraries and branches. You can also set closed dates for specific libraries and branches.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p class="FM_Bullet"><span class="FM_BulletHead">Library level</span>&#160;- Displays all branches associated with the selected library, and all dates the branches are closed. You can set closed dates for a library, so that these dates are applied to its member branches. You can also set closed dates for specific branches, and remove closed dates for specific branches if they are not applicable to the branch. </p>
</li>
<li>
<p class="FM_Bullet"><span class="FM_BulletHead">Branch level</span>&#160;- Displays the closed dates for the selected branch. You can add or delete closed dates for the branch only.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p class="NoteShade"><b>Note:<br /></b>The <b>Modify dates closed table:&#160;Allow</b>&#160;permission is required to change this table.</p>
<p>You specify the <span class="FM_Emphasis">days of the week </span>when an organization is ordinarily closed, such as Sunday, with the Patron Services parameter <b>Hours of operation</b>. Set this parameter at the system, library, or branch level. See <a href="../PDattribut/Setting_Parameters_and_Profiles.htm#XREF_92415_Working_with">Setting Parameters and Profiles</a>. Settings in both the Dates Closed policy table and the <b>Hours of Operation</b>&#160;parameter are used to determine circulation due dates. </p>

The postal codes are defined and maintained with two tables that you can access from the Administration Explorer:</p>

<h1><a name="XREF_75320_Setting_Up_Branch"></a>Setting Up Organization Resource Groups</h1>
<p><a name="kanchor3087"></a><a name="IX_overview_95"></a>You can associate selected organizations as Resource Groups, and make remote and federated databases and other resources available to PAC users based on the organization resource group. For example, resource groups can be used to expose or suppress specific databases from federated database searches, and to filter the display of ebook bibliographic records. If there is no resource group associated with a resource such as a database, access to that resource is not restricted.</p>
<p class="NoteShade"><b>Note:<br /></b>Organizations that share one vendor contract for eContent may wish to set up a digital branch for the content and assign that branch to a resource group. For more information, see <a href="../../EContent Integration/EContentPAC/Setting_up_a_digital-branch.htm">Setting Up a Digital Branch for Integrated EContent</a>.</p>
<p>Use the Resource Group workform to create Resource Groups and assign organizations to them. One organization can belong to multiple Resource Groups. You need the following system-level System Administration permissions to work with Resource Groups:</p>
<ul type="disc">
<li><b style="font-style: normal;font-weight: bold;color: #000000;text-decoration: none;letter-spacing: 0.00em;">Resource Group: Access</b>
</li>
<li><b style="font-style: normal;font-weight: bold;color: #000000;text-decoration: none;letter-spacing: 0.00em;">Resource Group: Create</b>
</li>
<li><b style="font-style: normal;font-weight: bold;color: #000000;text-decoration: none;letter-spacing: 0.00em;">Resource Group: Modify</b>
</li>
<li><b style="font-style: normal;font-weight: bold;color: #000000;text-decoration: none;letter-spacing: 0.00em;">Resource Group: Delete</b>
</li>
</ul>
<p class="NoteShade"><a name="kanchor3088"></a><a name="IX_when_required_for_ebook"></a><a name="kanchor3089"></a><a name="IX_recycling_upon_PAC_reload"></a><a name="kanchor3090"></a><a name="IX_when_required_for_ebooks"></a><b>Important:<br /></b>Make sure to do both a PowerPAC and Mobile PAC (if your library uses Mobile PAC) reload each time you: add or change a resource group; add or change a vendor account; or change the <b>Resource Groups: Search results settings</b> profile in Polaris Administration.</p>
<p>To create a new Resource Group:</p>
<ol>
<li value="1">Select <b>File </b>&gt;<b> New</b> from the Polaris Shortcut Bar, and select <b>Resource Group</b> from the New dialog box.</li>
</ol>
<p class="indent2">The Resource Group workform opens.</p>
<ol data-mc-continue="true">
<li value="2">Type a name and description for this resource group. The name must be unique. Consider a naming convention that distinguishes Resource Groups by purpose; for example, Resource Groups for federated databases and Resource Groups for e-Content.</li>
<li value="3">Specify the organizations that should belong to this Resource Group as follows:<ul><li>Select <b>System Level Access</b> to give PAC users access to the resources associated with this Resource Group when the PAC connection organization is the system.</li><li>Select <b>All Branches</b> to automatically check all branches. Resources with which this Resource Group is associated are available when the PAC connection organization is any library-level organization or any branch-level organization. Typically, it is not necessary to select all branches; if access is not restricted, a resource group is not necessary. However, you can use this option to select all branches and then de-select specific branches in the list. The All Branches checkbox is gray when some but not all organizations are selected.</li><li>Select a library organization checkbox to select the branches associated with the library. PAC users connected to any of the selected librarys branches have access to the resources (databases) associated with the resource group.</li><li>Expand the library organization, and select individual branches. PAC users connected at any of the selected branches have access to the resources (databases) associated with the resource group.</li></ul></li>
</ol>
<p class="indent2">If the PAC connection organization is a member of this Resource Group, the resources associated with the group are accessible in Polaris PowerPAC, subject to your PAC display and usage condition settings. For information about associating resources with resource groups, see <a href="../PDserver/Registering_Remote_Resource_Servers.htm" class="MCXref xref" xrefformat="{color blue}{paratext}{/color}"><span style="color: Blue;" class="mcFormatColor">Registering Remote Resource Servers</span></a>.</p>
<ol data-mc-continue="true">
<li value="4">Select <b>File </b>&gt;<b> Save</b>.</li>
</ol>
<p class="NoteShade"><b>Important:</b>
<br />Be sure to reload both PowerPAC and Mobile PAC (if your library uses Mobile PAC) each time you: add or change a resource group; add or change a vendor account; or change the <b>Resource Groups: Search results settings profile in Polaris Administration</b>.</p>
<h4>Related Information</h4>
<ul>
<li>To find a resource group, select <b>Administration</b> &gt; <b>Resource Group</b>. You can search by Name or Description and limit the search by organization.</li>
<li>To create a new Resource Group from an existing Resource Group, select <b>File </b>&gt;<b> New</b> from the open Resource Group workform, and select <b>Clear Work Form</b> or <b>Copy Existing Work Form</b>. </li>
<li>To delete a resource group, right-click the Resource Group in the Find Tool results list and select <b>Delete</b> from the context menu, or open the Resource Group workform and select <b>File </b>&gt;<b> Delete</b>. A Resource Group cannot be deleted if it is associated with a server record.</li>
<li>To remove an organization from a Resource Group, clear the checkbox for the organization in the Resource Group workform. If the resource group is associated with one or more databases, users connected to that organization will not be able to access the database(s), and the Report of Unavailable Targets dialog box appears. The dialog box lists the database display name defined for PAC (the organization-level name or system-level name, if none is defined for the organization), the server display name, and the organizations affected. If you continue to save the record, the database is removed from PAC display (if it has been selected for display) for every organization indicated in the report where there is no inheritance. The database may still be available for a parent organization.</li>
<li>To see the number of remote databases available to the branch in the staff client and PAC, right-click the branch name in the Administration Explorer and select <b>Properties</b>. </li>

<h1><a name="XREF_53827_Working_with"></a>Working with Libraries</h1>
<p><a name="kanchor4224"></a><a name="IX_administering"></a>The library record is the second level in the Polaris Administration hierarchy. It may represent an institution that directs one or more branches, and it may or may not have a physical location. All branches, collections, workstations, and staff members that belong to a library are directly or indirectly linked to the “parent” library record.</p>
<p class="NoteShade"><b>Examples:</b>
<br />1. A Polaris system with one physical location has two Administration records (one Library record and one Branch record) because circulation and patron registration activities are associated with Branch records and every branch must have a parent Library record.<br />2. A Polaris system consisting of four physical locations (one main library and three branches) has five Administration records, one Library record and four Branch records (one for each physical location).</p>
<br />
<p>You add a library record or edit library information using the Library workform, and you can delete a library record. You can also edit profiles, parameters, permissions, and tables associated with a library record directly from the Administration Explorer tree view, by expanding the appropriate folders beneath the library name. Address or contact changes are immediately effective. Other changes to a library record are not effective until the record is saved.</p>
<p><a name="kanchor4225"></a><a name="IX_setting_attributes_1"></a>Polaris&#160;policy, parameter, and profile settings at the library level are inherited from the settings made at the system level. Each library in the Polaris system may change the settings to match its local requirements. Changes made at the library level are inherited by the branch levels that belong to the library. However, permissions for a library apply only to the library. Permissions must also be set for each branch record associated with the library.</p>

<h1><a name="XREF_17585_Granting"></a>Granting Permissions</h1>
<p><a name="kanchor1853"></a><a name="IX_See_also_permissions"></a><a name="kanchor1854"></a><a name="IX_overview_104"></a>Polaris permissions control who can access, create, modify, or delete specific record types and who can perform specific tasks in Polaris. Most permissions that control access to and modification of record types are set for the organization that owns the specific record. Permissions that control the ability to do specific tasks are typically set at the system level. </p>
<p>You can set up permissions based on the needs of the organizations in your system, and the tasks that staff members are expected to do. To allow administrators to control all records and functions in Polaris, you can set up certain staff members as “Superusers” or add these staff members to the Administrator permission group. </p>
<p>Using the fine level of control available in Polaris permissions, your library can effectively manage the specific tasks your staff members can perform in Polaris. The flexibility of Polaris permissions provides libraries options to accommodate various staff responsibilities, such as:</p>
<ul>
<li>Check-out clerks cannot override circulation blocks, but the supervisor does have permission to override these blocks.</li>
<li>Staff members at a large library system rotate among different branches. The staff members have a set of permissions that are the same for all but one branch. The one branch is more restrictive with the permissions granted to rotating staff.</li>
<li>Senior catalogers have permissions to maintain authority records used by the entire library system. All other catalogers have permission to access the headings used in bibliographic records, but they cannot add any headings or change existing ones.</li>
<li>The library system has a central acquisitions department, but individual branches maintain their own selection lists. The central acquisitions department can access each branch's selection lists, but only specific staff members at the branch can modify the lists.</li>
<li>Each member library in a consortium prefers to keep its fund structure private. Libraries cannot view (access) each others fund records.</li>
</ul>
<p><a name="kanchor1855"></a><a name="IX_supervisor_override"></a>When a staff member does not have the appropriate permission to do a patron services or circulation task, a permission block message appears. You can allow specific staff members (typically supervisors) to override certain permission blocks so the blocked staff member can continue the task. Set the following profiles for staff members as appropriate: <b>Override acquisitions blocks</b>; <b>Override serials blocks</b>;<b> Override cataloging blocks</b>;<b>&#160;Override patron services blocks</b>; and <b>Find Tool: Override SQL search blocks.</b></p>

</ul>
<p class="NoteShade"><b>Note: <br /></b>Adding an organization (system, library, branch) to a group means that every staff member and workstation directly assigned to the organization has the permissions granted to the group. The <b>Organization</b>&#160;box on the Staff workform and the <b>Parent Branch</b>&#160;box on the Workstation workform define where the staff member or workstation is directly assigned.</p>

</ol>
<p class="NoteShade"><b>Note:<br /></b>When you add a staff member or workstation to a permission group, Polaris compares permissions directly assigned to the staff member or workstation with the permissions of the group. If a duplicate permission is found, the permission from the group automatically replaces the directly-assigned permission. However, when you add an entire organization to a group, the duplicate permission check is not done on staff members or workstations assigned to the organization.</p>

</ol>
<p class="indent2">When staff members and workstations are removed from a permission group, they lose the permissions they gained from the group. If duplicate directly-assigned permissions were removed when the staff members or workstations were added to the group, the permissions are not restored when the staff members or workstations are removed from the group.</p>

<p><a name="kanchor3911"></a><a name="IX_managing_for_staff"></a>The Permissions view for a specific group, staff member, or workstation lists all the permissions that have been assigned to the record. You can add or remove multiple permissions that apply to several organizations in a single operation. You can also see which permissions are directly assigned and which permissions are assigned through group membership. The Permissions view also lists the groups in which a staff member or workstation is a member. You can change the group membership by adding memberships, copying group memberships from another record, or removing group memberships.</p>
<p>You can display the Permissions view by selecting <b>Permissions</b>&#160;under a workstation or staff member in the Administration Explorer tree view, or by selecting <b>View, Permissions</b>&#160;in a workform. To work with a permission group record, you must open the Permission Group workform.</p>
<p class="NoteShade"><b>Note:<br /></b>To work with workstation, staff, and Permission Group permissions, you must have <b>Access</b>&#160;and <b>Modify</b>&#160;permissions for the appropriate record type (including Permission Groups) and for <b>Object/task control record</b>.</p>

<h1><a name="XREF_42964_Working_With_Groups"></a>Managing Permissions with Permission Groups</h1>
<p><a name="kanchor2538"></a><a name="IX_setting_permissions_with"></a>You can set up groups&#160;of staff members and workstations that are involved in the same types of tasks in the library, and assign the permissions to the group. For example, you can set up a Circulation Clerk permission group with the required permissions for circulating items. Then, you simply add the staff members and workstations to the Circulation Clerk permission group. </p>
<p>Permission group records are managed using the Permission Group workform. You can find and open a permission group record from the Polaris Shortcut Bar (select <b>Administration</b> &gt; <b>Permission</b>&#160;<b>Group</b>), or the Administration Explorer menu bar (select <b>File </b>&gt;<b> Open </b>&gt;<b> Permission Group</b>).</p>
<p class="NoteShade"><b>Note:<br /></b>To set up and manage groups, you need the <b>Permission</b>&#160;<b>Group</b>&#160;permissions (Access, Create, Delete, Modify), and permission to access any associated staff member, workstation, or organization records.</p>

<p><a name="kanchor2539"></a><a name="IX_organizations_as_members"></a>You can assign entire organizations (system, library, branch) to permission groups. Every staff member and workstation that is assigned to the organization gains the permissions of the group. Organization membership in a permission group is best used for library systems that use centralized cataloging, acquisitions, and serials processing. You can create a permission group that has access-only permissions for bibliographic, item, authority, serial control records, then make the entire system the member of the permission group. Every staff member and workstation for every organization in the Polaris installation automatically has access to the records. However, they cannot modify, create, or delete the records, and you probably would not assign these types of permissions through organization group membership.</p>
<p class="NoteShade"><b>Note:<br /></b>If a library is a member of a permission group, the staff members and workstations assigned to the library <span class="FM_Emphasis">and its branches</span>&#160;receive the group permissions. If a branch is a member of a permission group, only the staff members and workstations assigned to the branch receive the group permissions.</p>
<h2><a name="TOC_Default_Permission_Groups"></a><a name="XREF_96876_Default_Permission"></a>Default Permission Groups</h2>
<p><a name="kanchor2540"></a><a name="IX_default_1"></a>Polaris is installed with default permission groups that already have many of the permissions needed to do common library workflows at all organizations. All you need to do is identify the staff and workstations that are members of the permission group. You can add or remove permissions from a default group to suit an organizations staff departmental structure and workflows. If you want stricter security, you can copy the default permission group, remove the permissions that do not apply to the new group, and give the permission group a different name.</p>
<p class="NoteShade"><b>Example: <br /></b>In a system where each library needs to control access to patrons personal information, you can copy the Polaris Circulation Clerk permission group and give it a name that identifies it for a circulation desk at a specific library. Remove the permissions that do not apply to the specific library. Include the circulation staff at the library as members of the new group. Repeat the process for each library that requires strict control of privacy information.</p>
<p>The names of the Polaris default permission groups begin with <b>Polaris</b>. To list the default permission groups in the Find Tool results list, search by name for <b>Polaris*</b>.</p>
<p>For a list of the default permission groups and the permissions associated with them, see <a href="../Polaris_Permission_Groups_-_Default_Permissions_Reference.htm#XREF_10120_Working_With">Polaris Permission Groups - Default Permissions Reference</a>.</p>
<h2><a name="TOC_Using_Groups_to_Set"></a><a name="XREF_73375_Implementing"></a>Using Groups to Set Initial Permissions </h2>
<p><a name="kanchor2541"></a><a name="IX_planning"></a>If you are setting up Polaris permissions for the first time, you may find this method useful:</p>
<ol>
<li value="1">Make lists of the following information:</li>
</ol>
<ul>
<li>All organizations (system, libraries, and branches)</li>
</ul>
<p class="NoteShade"><b>Note: <br /></b>A library must also have a branch of the same name. See <a href="../PDcollections/Working_with_Collections.htm#XREF_22362_Administering"> Setting Statistical Codes for Reports</a>.</p>
<ul>
<li>Departments for each organization</li>
<li>Staff members in each department</li>
<li>Supervisors or managers of each department</li>
<li>Workstation names and where they are used</li>
</ul>
<p class="indent2">These lists help identify how many permission groups you may need to set up, and the possible members of the groups. Every department for each organization may be a group. You may want a supervisor group for each department, or combine all supervisors into a single group at each organization. You probably need a Circulation clerk group at every branch.</p>
<ol start="2">
<li value="2">Review areas of organizational responsibilities, and compile a list of functional areas in each department.</li>
</ol>
<p class="indent2">Work such as administration, cataloging, serials processing, or acquisitions in large library systems or consortia may be centralized. In this case, you may need a single permission group for catalogers. If each library is responsible for its own technical services, you may need multiple cataloging groups, one for every library that maintains its own cataloging records. </p>
<p class="indent2">Certain departments may have several functional areas, so they may need a finer division of group responsibilities. For example, a Technical Services department may need a permission group for catalogers and a separate permission group for the people doing acquisitions and serials processing. The list may be based on work area or job descriptions.</p>
<ol data-mc-continue="true">
<li value="3">Compile a list of permission groups based on the information you have gathered, and the decisions you have made.</li>
<li value="4">Create the permission groups in Polaris Administration, or adapt the Polaris default groups. See <a href="#XREF_42964_Working_With_Groups">Managing Permissions with Permission Groups</a>.</li>
<li value="5">Set the Staff Client profile <b>Generate security history</b>&#160;to <b>No</b>&#160;until you have completed initial permissions setup. See <a href="../PDattribut/Setting_Staff_Client_Profiles.htm#XREF_32735_About_Staff_Client">Setting Staff Client Profiles</a>.</li>
<li value="6">Give each group the permissions needed to do the tasks for the purpose of the group. See <a href="Assign_permissions_to_staff_workstation_or_group.htm#XREF_26146_Permission_Search">Assign permissions to staff, workstation, or group</a>.</li>
<li value="7">Assign the members to each permission group. See <a href="Manage_members_in_a_permission_group.htm#XREF_67872_Manage_members_in">Manage members in a permission group</a>.</li>
<li value="8">Ask a member from each permission group to test the setup by doing their normal tasks.</li>

<h1><a name="XREF_43104_Managing"></a>Permission Strategies</h1>
<p><a name="kanchor5685"></a><a name="IX_management_strategies"></a>You can manage permissions in Polaris using any of the following methods, according to your needs: </p>
<ul>
<li><span class="FM_BulletHead" style="font-weight: normal;"><b>Set security for an organizations records</b> </span>- Identify who is allowed to view and use an organizations records. Expand the Security folder for the organization in the Administration Explorer, select a permission, then find and select the staff members, workstations, and permission groups that should have the permission. All the permissions that can be set at an organization level are listed under <b>Security</b>&#160;for the organization in the Administration Explorer. See <a href="Managing_Organization_Security.htm">Managing Organization Security</a>.</li>
<p class="NoteShade"><b>Tip:<br /></b>If you are implementing Polaris permissions for the first time, the group method is a convenient strategy. See <a href="Managing_Permissions_with_Permission_Groups.htm">Using Groups to Set Initial Permissions</a>.</p>
<li><b style="font-weight: bold;">Set up permission groups</b> - Set up permission groups with multiple permissions and add multiple staff members, workstations, and/or organizations to the group. You can add permissions to the group to give them to all group members, and add group members. For example, a Cataloging permission group might have most cataloging permissions except deleting records. If a new cataloger is joining the library, you can add her to the group to give her all the appropriate permissions in one step. See <a href="Managing_Permissions_with_Permission_Groups.htm#XREF_42964_Working_With_Groups">Managing Permissions with Permission Groups</a>.</li>
<li><b>Set permissions for an individual staff member or workstation</b>&#160;- For example, a staff member who works in acquisitions needs permission to import brief bibliographic records using the Express Import option. See <a href="Managing_Permissions_for_Staff_Workstations_Groups.htm#XREF_18636_Giving_Permissions">Managing Permissions for Staff, Workstations, Groups</a>.</li>
<p class="NoteShade"><a name="kanchor5686"></a><a name="IX_Administration_group"></a><a name="kanchor5687"></a><a name="IX_Polaris_SuperUser"></a><b>Important: <br /></b>The PolarisSuperuser “staff member” and the Administrator permission groups have all permissions. The Superuser ensures there is always at least one person able to work in Polaris administration. Only one or two individuals should have access to this logon. The Administrator group simplifies giving Polaris administration permissions to backup administrators. Permissions cannot be taken away from the Superuser or Administrator permission groups, and these two records cannot be deleted.</p>

<h2><a name="TOC_Permission_Availability"></a><a name="XREF_81769_Permission_Levels"></a>Permission Availability and Record Ownership</h2>
<p><a name="kanchor5688"></a><a name="IX_record_permissions"></a><a name="kanchor5689"></a><a name="IX_levels"></a>A specific set of permissions is available at the system, library, and branch level. While many permissions are set at the branch level, some permissions are available at all levels, and some are available only at the system level, only at the library level, or only at the branch level.</p>
<p>The permissions that control access and modifications to Polaris records can only be set at the organization level to which the record belongs. Some types of records can be owned at multiple organization administration levels. Other records can only be owned at a specific level. For example, item records can be owned at the system, library, and branch levels, but patron records can only be owned by a branch. Permissions to use item records are available and set independently at each level and for each organization. You set permissions for every organization that uses the associated records. Permissions to use patron records are available only at the branch level.</p>
<p class="NoteShade"><b>Important: <br /></b>Bibliographic and item records can be maintained at the system, library, or branch level. Cataloging record permissions must be set for at least one organization. Typically, if the catalog is maintained by a central cataloging department for all organizations, the system level permissions are used. If each branch maintains its own cataloging records, assign the catalog record permissions for each branch.</p>
<p class="NoteShade"><b>Note:<br /></b>See <a href="../Polaris_Permission_Groups_-_Default_Permissions_Reference.htm#XREF_10120_Working_With">Polaris Permission Groups - Default Permissions Reference</a>&#160;for a list of the record fields that indicate ownership for each type of Polaris record.</p>
<p>Several levels of permissions control access to and operations on an organizations records. For example, you need the appropriate Access permission to view an organizations bibliographic records, or even see those records in lists such as Find Tool results. Separate Create, Modify, and Delete permissions control the ability to do these operations on the organizations bibliographic records.</p>
<p class="NoteShade"><b>Important:<br /></b>If you have the permission <b>Use own cataloging record sets: Allow</b>, you can create record sets that no other users can access, including your system administrator. When you create a new cataloging record set, your user name is in the Owner box by default if you have this permission. To allow other users to access the record set, first select a different owner before saving the record set.</p>
<p>Some permissions are not organization-specific. These permissions are set at the system level and define access to options on the Polaris Shortcut Bar, access to specific tables in Polaris administration, or the ability to do certain tasks regardless of record ownership.</p>
<h2><a name="TOC_Permissions_for_Tasks"></a><a name="XREF_31670_Permissions_for"></a>Permissions for Tasks</h2>
<p><a name="kanchor5690"></a><a name="IX_setting_for_tasks"></a>Most workflows in the Polaris staff client require multiple task permissions. You do not need to set all permissions for all organizations. If an organization does not do particular tasks, the permissions for that workflow do not need to be set for the organization. For example, if a branch does not use Polaris Acquisitions because selection, ordering, receiving, and invoicing are done at the main library, then the branch does not need acquisitions permissions.</p>
<h2><a name="TOC_Assigning_Permissions_to"></a><a name="XREF_13736_Assigning"></a>Assigning Permissions to Workstations</h2>
<p><a name="kanchor5691"></a><a name="IX_coordinating"></a>The ability to do a task in Polaris depends on the permissions set for <span class="FM_Emphasis">both</span>&#160;the staff member and the workstation. For security, libraries may want to restrict the tasks that can be done on a particular computer, even if the person logged on has permission to do the tasks.</p>
<p class="NoteShade"><b>Example:<br /></b>A computer monitor at a reference desk is visible to the public in that area. The library is concerned about patron privacy, and wants to prevent patron account information from appearing on that computer, so that workstation does not have permission to view the library's patron records.</p>
<p>You can set permissions for individual workstations, or you can use the following options:</p>
<ul>
<li>Create permission groups specifically for workstations and assign permissions based on the security or privacy requirements of the workstations in the group.</li>
<p class="NoteShade"><b>Note: <br /></b>Do not put restricted workstations in permission groups with access to system security or patron information. To view a workstations permissions, go the Permissions view of the Workstation workform. See <a href="Managing_Permissions_for_Staff_Workstations_Groups.htm#XREF_18636_Giving_Permissions">Managing Permissions for Staff, Workstations, Groups</a>.</p>
<li>To give workstations and staff members the same permissions, make the workstations members of the same permissions groups to which the staff members belong. This method ensures a staff member can always do their tasks. However, do not use this method for computers where privacy and system security are issues.</li>
<li>To give all workstations in an organization the permissions of a group, make the organization a member of the permission group.</li>
<p class="NoteShade"><b>Important: <br /></b>The Polaris Superuser logon overrides any permission restrictions of a workstation. The Polaris Superuser can do any task on any workstation except access record sets owned by an individual staff member.</p>
</ul>
<h2><a name="TOC_Permission_Assignments"></a><a name="XREF_14941_Permission"></a>Permission Assignments at Upgrade</h2>
<p><a name="kanchor5692"></a><a name="IX_at_upgrade"></a>When you upgrade to a new version of Polaris, new permissions may or may not be granted to existing staff members by default. (New permissions are always granted to members of the Administrator permission group.) If you prefer not to accept any Polaris default settings that grant new permissions to existing staff members, set the system-level Staff Client profile <b>Permissions: Use Polaris-defined new permission defaults</b>&#160;to <b>No</b>. This setting causes all new permissions to be set to <b>No</b>&#160;(not granted) at upgrade, but does not affect existing permission assignments or the Administrator permission group. The default setting is <b>Yes</b>.</p>
<p class="NoteShade"><b>Important:<br /></b>If you want to set the Staff Client profile <b>Permissions: Use Polaris-defined new permission defaults</b>&#160;to <b>No</b>, you must set the profile <span class="FM_Emphasis">before you upgrade to the new version of Polaris</span>.</p>
<h2><a name="TOC_Special_Permissions_for"></a><a name="XREF_11915_Permissions_for"></a><a name="kanchor5693"></a>Special Permissions for Rotating Staff</h2>
<p><a name="kanchor5694"></a><a name="IX_as_rotating_staff_1"></a><a name="kanchor5695"></a><a name="IX_setting_for_rotating"></a><a name="IX_permissions_36"></a><a name="IX_rotating_staff"></a>If the library rotates staff among branches, you can allow the rotating staff members to select a session branch at log-on. When a branch is selected, settings for that branch are in effect for the session (not the branch with which the staff members user name is associated). For example, when a circulation staff member logs on to the current branch instead of the staff members “home” branch, the system can route an item that fills a hold request correctly. The item is not routed to the staff members “home” branch when it should be picked up at the current branch. </p>
<p>To enable staff members to select a branch at log-on, give both the staff member and the workstation these permissions:</p>
<ul>
<li><span class="FM_BulletHead" style="font-weight: bold;">Access logon branch: Allow</span>&#160;- Specifies who can log on to branches other than their own. The staff member can select a branch from a dialog box when logging on. This permission is set at the System level.</li>
<li><span class="FM_BulletHead"><span class="FM_BulletHead" style="font-weight: bold;">Logon branch: Access</span>&#160;</span>- Specifies who can log on to a specific branch even though the staff member is not registered with the branch. The staff member can select a specific branch when logging in. This permission is set at the branch level.<span class="FM_BulletHead"></span></li>
<p>The workstations parent branch is the default selection in the Polaris Log On Branch dialog box.

<p><a name="kanchor2237"></a><a name="IX_administration_overview_1"></a><a name="kanchor2238"></a><a name="IX_permissions_overview"></a>Administration&#160;permissions control access to the various workforms, tables, and controls needed to administer Polaris. Typically, Polaris administrators need the administration permissions. However, other staff members may require access to certain administration tables and controls to set up specific processes. For example, senior catalogers may require administration permissions related to MARC validation. To assign administration permissions, you must have the following permissions:</p>
<ul type="disc">
<li><b>Access administration: Allow</b>
</li>
<li><b>System: Access</b>
</li>
<li><b>Object/task control record: Access</b>
</li>
<li><b>Object/task control record: Modify</b>
</li>
</ul>
<p>Most administration permissions are set at the system level. You can use the Security view at the system level on the Administration Explorer, or set the permissions from individual group, workstation, and staff member workforms. </p>
<p>Even with specific System Administration permissions set at the system level, you also need access permissions to an administration level (<b>System: Access</b>; <b>Library: Access</b>; <b>Branch: Access</b>) to change any parameters or profiles for those levels. However, granting access to any level allows administration access to <span class="FM_Emphasis">all</span>&#160;organizations at that level, so be cautious in assigning administrative permissions. For large installations, you may need to distribute the work load, but you should limit access to system-level administration to only a few people. Other administrators can do most administration functions with access limited to the Library or Branch administration levels.</p>
<p class="NoteShade"><b>Note: <br /></b>You may want to add the primary Polaris administrators to the Administrators group, in case the Polaris SuperUser logon is unavailable. The Administrators group has all permissions.</p>

<h1><a name="XREF_53935_Security_for"></a>Security for Reports</h1>
<p><a name="kanchor4043"></a><a name="IX_security"></a>You can employ two different strategies for managing Reporting Services security, relying on either the users logon credential or Windows authentication for a user account you set up for that specific purpose.</p>
<p>By default, the report server uses the users current logon credential to authenticate the user. If you need to limit users to certain reports, you can manage their rights with Reporting Services security, granting different levels of access and use as necessary. You can create groups such as Circulation Reports and Acquisitions Reports, grant the group the appropriate rights, and place the user in the appropriate groups, or you can manage the rights on an individual basis, user by user. Note that rights are inherited in Reporting Services. For example, if you grant Browse rights to a group on the Polaris level, the rights also apply to the subordinate folders such as <b>System</b>&#160;and <b>Circulation</b>, and to the reports within them. You can delete the inherited rights for a subordinate folder or individual reports as necessary. If a user has no rights to a report, the report is not displayed in the Polaris Reports window in the staff client.</p>
<p class="NoteShade"><b>Note:<br /></b>You can also specify which organizations are displayed for selection as report parameters. </p>
<p>If there is a custom folder at the location <b>/Polaris/Custom</b>&#160;in the report root folder, users can right-click a system report in the Polaris Reports window in the staff client, and select <b>Customize</b>&#160;from the context menu. The custom report is placed in the Custom folder in the Report Manager, ready for editing. If there is no custom folder at <b>/Polaris/Custom, </b>the <b>Customize</b>&#160;menu option and the Custom folder are not displayed in the Polaris Reports window. For more information about customizing reports, see Generating, Sending &amp; Customizing Reports.</p>
<p class="NoteShade"><b>Important:<br /></b>The Polaris staff client uses reports in the Internal folder for many common workflows. All staff client users need Browse rights to the Internal folder.</p>
<p>Alternatively, you can use Windows authentication for accounts you set up for the purpose, instead of the individual staff login credential. Set up appropriate Windows user accounts such as ReportUser and NoticesUser and grant these users the appropriate rights in Reporting Services. In Polaris Administration, set up the Report Server at the system level without Windows authentication, then specify Windows authentication at the branch or staff member level, using the special-purpose user accounts you set up. This is a convenient way to assign the appropriate Reporting Services rights if you do not need to assign rights for specific reports and notices on a person-by-person basis. </p>
<p>Also, the Windows Authentication option allows you to restrict access to reports from the Reporting Services browser, but allow staff with the Polaris <b>Access reports and notices</b>&#160;permission to see reports in the Polaris Reports window in the staff client. </p>
<p class="NoteShade"><b>Example:<br /></b>You set Report Services rights for an account called PolarisReports so that the account has browse rights to all reports. Then, in Polaris Administration, you set the Report Server to use Windows authentication, and specify the authentication account as PolarisReports. Since no staff member is PolarisReports, reports are not visible to staff in the Report Services browser, but they are displayed in the Polaris Reports window in the staff client.</p>
<p>Regardless of your security strategy for Reporting Services, staff members (and the workstations they use) need the <i>Polaris</i>&#160;permission <b>Access reports and notices</b>&#160;to open the Polaris Reports window from the Polaris Shortcut bar in the staff client. For more information about managing Polaris permissions, see <a href="../PDpermiss/Granting_Permissions.htm#XREF_17585_Granting">Granting Permissions</a>.</p>

<h1><a name="XREF_40141_Working_in"></a>Specifying Report Servers</h1>
<p><a name="kanchor4400"></a><a name="IX_servers_for_Report"></a>Polaris uses SQL Server Reporting Services for reports, notices, and most printing tasks in the staff client. Microsoft Report Manager and Report Web Service are installed on your Web “server,” which may be located on your Polaris Web server, a stand-alone report Web server, or another server you specify. Because report definitions, folders, and resources are published and managed as a Web service, SQL Server Reporting Services requires access to the Web server. You specify the URL for the report server and Reporting Services in Polaris Administration.</p>
<p>Report access and management are controlled with Reporting Services security. A Polaris Administration setting provides the option of using Windows authentication to streamline report security assignments. If you use a proxy server, you also specify the proxy server for use with reporting services in Polaris Administration.</p>
<p>You identify report and proxy servers with Staff Client profiles, available at the system, library, branch, and staff levels. If your Polaris system is used in a consortium, different servers can be specified for different organizations as appropriate.</p>

The following situations are some examples:</p>
<ul type="disc">
<li>Public access computers in the library use Polaris PowerPAC, which is Web-based. You may want to set a patron inactivity timeout on these computers, so that patrons are automatically logged off after a specified period of time.</li>
<li>You want to limit certain library services, such as patron access to specific third-party databases (e-sources), so that they are available only to Polaris PowerPAC computers located in the library. </li>
<li>Some locations may use different Internet service providers, or different network domains. You may not be able to register these computers in Polaris as workstations because of network security settings.</li>
<li>Wireless networks or public network connections allow patrons to connect to the catalog with their own laptop computers, but the library wants to include these computers in statistical reports on in-house library usage.</li>
</ul>
<p>To identify a non-networked computer as in-house, you add its specific IP address to the In-House IP Addresses table. You can open the In-House IP Addresses table from the organization workform or the Administration Explorer. </p>
<p class="NoteShade"><b>Note:<br /></b>If a workstation record was set up in Polaris Administration, the workstation is automatically considered an in-house location. Do not list it in the In-House IP Addresses table. A computer is considered remote if neither the registered workstation nor the IP address is found in the Polaris system.</p>
<p>You can then determine whether the system checks the In-House IP Addresses table alone or both the In-House IP Addresses table and the workstations registered in Polaris to determine whether a workstation is in-house. You can set separate criteria for patron inactivity timeout and e-source access. </p>

In the multi-domain environment, the workstation and staff member are associated with a domain in Polaris, and while the domain\workstation or domain\user combination must be unique, the workstation and user names themselves may be repeated as long as they are in different domains. You can choose to associate users with domains, workstations with domains, both, or neither. However, in a single domain environment, user and workstation names must be unique.</p>
<p>In Polaris Administration, use the system-level Database table <b>Network Domains </b>to specify the NetBIOS Name and DNSName for each domain in your network. For general information about adding and modifying table rows, see <a href="../PDattribut/Working_with_Tables.htm#XREF_52853_Working_with">Working with Tables</a>. The System Administration permission <b>Modify network domains table: Allow</b>&#160;is required to work with this table. If you leave this table empty, users and workstations must be unique.</p>

<p>The entries in this table appear as selections in <b>Domain</b>&#160;drop-down lists in the Staff Member and Workstation workforms, where the domain is selected from the drop-down list to associate the user or workstation with the domain. If no domains have been entered in the Network Domains table, the field is not available for selection. </p>

<li><span class="FM_BulletHead"><span class="FM_BulletHead">About Polaris dialog box</span></span>&#160;- When you select <b>Help, About Polaris</b>&#160;on the Polaris Shortcut Bar, the About Polaris dialog box includes the user domain in the Polaris User&#160;field, and the workstation domain in the Polaris Workstation field.</li>
<li><span class="FM_BulletHead">Web-based application log-ons</span>&#160;- Polaris Fusion, Polaris Leap, Polaris Simply Reports, and Polaris WebAdmin log-ons require the domain in the user name field in the format username@domain or domain\username; for example, <b>reid@thelibrary.org </b>or <b>Lib\Reid.</b></li>
</ul>
<h2><a name="TOC_Network_Domain"></a><a name="XREF_80581_Network_Domain"></a>Network/Domain Requirements and Restrictions</h2>
<p>
<p>Polaris recommends that the domain computer and user accounts are configured in Active Directory.</p>
</p>
<p>All Polaris Servers should be members of the same domain, or members of domains that include, minimally, a one-way trust. One-way trusts require that the application server be in the trustee domain. (For example, if domain A trusts domain B, the application server must reside in domain A, if domain A users are expected to use Polaris.)</p>
<p>
<p>An external domain controller can be used to authenticate users if the domain controller is trusted by the domain(s) in which the Polaris Servers are members. </p>
</p>
<p>
<p>If an application server is running in workgroup mode:<ul><li>When configuring a user account that is a member of the workgroup, leave the <b>Domain</b>&#160;field set to <b>None</b>&#160;in the Staff Member record.</li><li>When configuring a computer account that is a member of the workgroup, leave the <b>Domain</b>&#160;field set to <b>None</b>&#160;in the Workstation record.</li></ul></p>
</p>
<p>
<p>When configuring a workstation that has a NetBIOS name different from the DNS hostname, leave the <b>Domain</b>&#160;field set to <b>None</b>&#160;in the Workstation record.</p>
</p>
<p>When configuring a workstation that is also a Polaris server, leave the Domain field set to <b>None</b> in the Workstation record.&#160;The NetBIOS name of a computer running Polaris server-side software must be unique among all trusted domains.</p>
<p>
<ul>
<li>Each network domain configured in the Polaris Network Domains table must have a unique NetBIOS domain name.</li>
<li>Each network domain configured in the Polaris Network Domains table must have a unique DNS domain name.</li>
</ul>
</p>
<p>
<p>Remote desktop:</p>
</p>
<ul>
<li>If the staff client is run on a Windows terminal server via a remote desktop connection from a workstation that is a member of a trusted domain, then the remote desktop client workstation can be domain-specific.</li>
<li>If the staff client is run on a Windows terminal server via a remote desktop connection from a workstation that is not a member of a trusted domain, then the remote desktop client workstation cannot be domain-specific.</li>
