About Setup

Before you use Horizon, you need to set up the system to accommodate all the different functions of your library.

You should understand how to use the Table Editor before you do any of the tasks in this chapter. (For information about how to use the Table Editor, see Horizon Table Editor .)

This chapter is divided into sections. Each section corresponds to a different parameter or group of parameters you must set up on your system, such as library locations or collections. Each section explains the view or views you enter data into to set particular parameters. To set up all of your system defaults, open each table as directed from the Table Editor and enter the required information.

All the setup explained in this chapter must be completed before you can use the Horizon system or proceed to subsequent chapters. The data you enter in this chapter’s tasks will be used in subsequent chapters.

The tasks in this guide apply to general system setup. (For information on setting up and administering specific Horizon products, see the guide for that product.)
