Changing a Preference Group

If necessary, you can change a preference group. You can change the name of a local group, change the preferences for the site or a local group, or change the users assigned to a local group.

If you change preferences in a group that is above the user level, a user’s individual preferences might override any changes you make to local groups or to the site group. To prevent this, you must make sure each user is assigned to the group you have changed and that they cannot modify their individual preferences. (For more information, see Assigning a Preference Group to Users.)

To change a preference group

1 Start the Preference Group Manager process.

The default location of this process is the Administration folder on the navigation bar.

Horizon opens the Preference Group Manager window.

2 Choose the group that you want to change from the Preference Group menu.
3 If you want to rename a local group, do these steps:
a Click Rename.

Horizon displays the Preference Group name dialog box.

b In the Name field, enter the new name for the group. (For example, enter “Circ - North Branch”.)

Horizon renames the group and displays the new name in the group list.

4 If you want to change the preferences for this group, do these steps:
a Do one of these options at the Customize menu:
To set up Launcher preferences in this group, choose Launcher.
To set up MARC Editor preferences, choose MARC Editor.
b Click Modify.

Horizon displays the customize window for the type of preferences you chose.

c Change the preferences:
To change the Launcher preferences, see the Launcher Configuration Guide.

If you want to add a view or a process, or assign switches to processes, see Changing Administration-Level Settings on the Navigation Bar.

To change MARC Editor preferences, see the “Customizing the MARC Editor” chapter in the Cataloging Guide.
5 If you want to change the users assigned to this group, see Assigning a Preference Group to Users.
