Creating Sites

The instructions in this topic explain how to set up sites on the library system. Before continuing with any topics in the site section, it is highly recommended to read the topic Site Interfaces - Overview to familiarise yourself with the terminology and concept.

·To begin adding a new site, first access the new site window by clicking Settings / General / Site Interfaces and then clicking Add.

·Using the drop down menu, select a Group that this site belongs to. The field dictates what group the site will display under when using the landing page. Select a group that matches the type of site, for instance, choose "Primary" if it is a primary school site that is being set up.

·Next choose the name of the site by typing it into the Site Name text box. It is recommended to choose a single word as a site name, e.g. "Junior" like in the example below.

·Select an interface from the next drop down menu. When loading a specific site, the interface that is selected here will open. The list shown under the Interface list is populated based on the license.

·Enter a description into the Description text box.

As an example, so far the settings might look something like this:

·Enter a Location Number and Barcode Range if they are required. These are both optional fields.

·Finally, upload a logo using the controls if desired.

·Click Save to save the site name. This process can be repeated as many times as necessary in order to create as many sites as you wish.

After setting up the sites, it is easy to access a specified site simply by appending /?site=sitename to the URL. For more information, see the topic Accessing Sites using the URL.
