Assigning Alternate Bib Displays to a PAC Flavor

You can assign alternate bib displays to a flavor. This is useful if you want to have the Bibliographic Detail window display less information without changing the bib_disp view. Users can toggle between alternate bib displays in staff searching by choosing which bib display they want from the Window drop-down menu.

Before you can assign an alternate bib display, you need to create new views for the alternate bib displays, such as “bibdisp2,” “bibdisp3,” and so forth. (For instructions on creating views, see Creating Alternate Views.) When you do this, write down the name of the alternate view that you create, so you can use it as you complete this task.

To assign alternate bib displays to a PAC flavor

1 Open the pac view in the Table Editor.

Horizon displays the List Public Access Flavor window.

2 Choose the flavor you want to change, or create a new flavor.

Horizon displays the Edit Public Access Flavor window.

3 Click Page Down or resize the window to display the Alternate Bib Display Views group:
4 In the Bib Display MQView field, enter the code of the bib display you want to use as an alternate.

This should match the Mq View field from the Edit Horizon View window.

5 Save your changes.

You must restart Horizon for the alternate bib display views to appear in staff searching.
