If you have created any new displays, you must add them to a result type so that Information Portal knows when to display them. You can add displays to a new result type or to an existing one. (For more information, see Changing a Z39.50 Result Type.)
Each result type for non-browse indexes must have at least a summary and full search result display assigned (for example, a Keyword Summary display and Full Bib display for the author keyword search index, or an Events Summary display and an Events full display for the events keyword search index).
Before You Begin
If you want to add browse displays to a new result type, you must be sure that you have unique and unassigned browse displays that you can assign to the new result type. You cannot add the same browse display to several result types; the Administration tool does not let you do this. If you want to use the same browse display for several result types, then you can copy the browse display you want or add a new browse display and add the new browse display to the new result type. You can add any new browse displays before you add the result type or while you add the result type. (For more information, see Adding or Accessing a Z39.50 Search Result Display.)
To add a Z39.50 result type
1 | Open your Information Portal Administration tool web site. |
2 | Click the Customize tab. |
3 | Click the Z39.50 sub-tab. |
4 | Click the Result Type sub-option. |
The Administration tool displays the Result Type page:
5 | Click Add Result Type. |
The Administration tool display the Edit Result Type page:
6 | Change these fields to add a result type, as necessary: |
Field |
Action |
Description |
Enter a description for this result type. (For example, enter “General Keyword”.) Note: It may be helpful to enter the name of the search for the description. |
Universal ID |
If you are setting up redirected searches, choose the universal ID of the search index that you want to use; otherwise, choose None. The Universal ID list displays all of the universal IDs of the indexes from all of the Z39.50 libraries that you have added to Information Portal. Therefore, you must be sure to choose the index for the library that you want. Information Portal uses this search index to perform a new search if you add a Browse redirected search and use this result type. (For more information, see Redirecting a Search for a Z39.50 Library.) (For example, choose “Any Word(s)”.) For more information on universal IDs, see Universal IDs. |
Default Browse Display |
If you want to specify a browse display for this search, choose the browse display you want; otherwise, choose None. |
Default Summary Display |
Choose a summary display. (For example, choose “Keyword Summary”.) |
Default Full Display |
Choose a full display. (For example, choose “Full Bib”.) |
Item Display |
If you want to specify an item display for this search, choose the item display you want; otherwise, choose None. |
Copy Display |
If you want to specify a copy display for this search, choose the copy display you want; otherwise, choose None. |
Note: A Z39.50 result type uses the universal ID instead of the “qualifier” to find the index for redirected searches. This is the only difference in the result types for regular searching and the Z39.50 result types. Choose the universal ID of the index that you want to search for redirected searches.
Also, a Z39.50 result type does not have a Table Name for you to choose. This is because Z39.50 result types do not get index information from your local Horizon server source files.
7 | Click OK. |
The Administration tool displays the Result Type page again. Your new result type is added to the list in alphabetical order of its result type description.
8 | When you finish making changes in Information Portal, restart the Application Server process (JBoss). |
