Setting Up Location Restrictions for a Flavor

For each PAC flavor, you can specify the locations that users can restrict searches to. (For example, a user may want to find items that are nonfiction, checked in, and located in the local branch.) The locations you can choose from are defined in the location table. (For more information, see Library Locations.)

To set up location restrictions for a flavor

View: pac_restriction_location

In these fields, do the following:

Field

Action

Search

Enter or choose the code of the PAC flavor that you want to define location restrictions for.

Location

Enter or choose the code of the location that you want to include in the Restrict window of the PAC flavor.

All locations for your library should appear in this list. If any are missing, you need to set them up. (For instructions, see Library Locations.)

Order

Enter the numerical order in which you want the location to appear in the Restrict Title Display window for this PAC flavor. Each location restriction for a flavor must have its own order number.

For example, if you want your local location to appear first in the list, you would enter “0” as the order. A location that appears second would be “1”, and so forth.

Default

Mark this box if you want the location to be selected (highlighted) by default when the user accesses the Restrict window in staff searching.

All locations checked as default appear highlighted when the Restrict window opens. Users can keep the default selections or choose different ones.
