Each ILS product offers different features with respect to APIs used by third parties like OCLC in order to get data. In addition, each library can often customize their ILS setup, which makes it difficult to have a one-size-fits-all guide for some features. For these reasons, OCLC is often unable to help configure this information directly and library staff will need to discuss available options and values with their ILS administrator and/or vendor.
Carousels from Wise are not currently supported. Instead, you can change the action of a button to lead to the stardard screen Action – Website and link out a collection on your library’s website. Refer to Standard screens and Buttons for more information.

Libraries can choose to configure any filters if supported by their ILS. It is not mandatory to use all filters or groups configured in your ILS, which allows each library to determine their ideal setup for patrons.
If no search filter is chosen by a user, or no options are displayed, the default is ALL.
These apply to libraries running OCLC WISE ILS of any version.

These values can be found in the (MDT) Media type table of your Wise Manager. You may need to consult your ILS administrator or OCLC for a full list of these values.
