If you want to, you can make an alternate profile (or searching environment) available to your staff or users. You can have a variety of different profiles available for a single library. These profiles can be used to create a searching environment in another language, or for different groups of users. (For example, you can have a “kids” profile with bright colors and more generic indexes, or a “teens” profile with a Resources tab that contains current events of interest to teenagers.)
You can have multiple profiles, representing one or more Horizon locations, for your Library.
To make a profile available to users or staff
1 | Open your Information Portal Administration tool web site. |
2 | Click the Setup tab. |
3 | Click the Libraries sub-tab. |
4 | Click the name of your Library. |
5 | Click the Profiles option. |
The Administration tool displays the profiles for Information Portal:
6 | Highlight and copy the profile URL for the profile you want. |
7 | Use your HTML editor to create a hyperlink on the page from which you want your users to have access. (For more information, see your HTML editor’s online help or user’s guide.) |
For example, if you want to create a link on your home page for teenagers, you can create a link called “Young Adults.”
8 | Enter or paste the profile URL into the URL field for this hyperlink. |
For example, if you do not copy and paste, enter “/ipac20/ipac.jsp?profile=teens” into the URL for the hyperlink.
9 | If you want to, click the hyperlink to check that it works. |
Information Portal opens the Young Adults profile for you from the page where the hyperlink is located.
10 | When you finish making changes in Information Portal, restart the Application Server process (JBoss). |
