Title details display

Change the standard fields and order of display

The following table is from g_title_details. This extract shows the list of settings and their values that control the display of major bibliographic details.

1. Go to OPAC> OPAC Config Block.
2. Search for g_title_details.
3. Click the Interface link to display details.
    

Remove a field:

1. Click the box to select the record e.g. details_lnkti_display2.
2. In Actions select Exclude (the same as Include=N).

Change the sequence of fields:

• Seq1 determines the general order – Title and linked titles first, then the remaining bib details.
• Seq2 determines the order for the list of values where the Setting is repeated (e.g. "tidetails"). There must be one and only one Setting included with a Seq2 of "1" to start the array.

1. Click the Interface link to display full details of e.g. tidetails (Value subj).
2. Switch to modify and edit e.g. Sequence 2 to a number that will change the display order.

Add new title display fields:
Fields that can be configured into the title details display can be viewed in the Config Block: details.

Use the OPAC> Config Block domain to search and display (the Show array settings).

Example settings include:

phys, lang, note (physical details, language, note (first page of General layout))

To add a field:

1. Go to OPAC> Configuration Settings.
2. Click New Record.
3. In the new page, enter Interface 1.
4. In Config Block select g_title_details - Folio Title details.
5. In Setting enter tidetails.
6. Enter a meaningful Description.
7. In Value enter e.g. phys.
   • See the table of the end of this page for a list of valid values.
8. In Value 2 enter e.g. "Physical details:" (including double quotes).
9. In Sequence 1 enter 4 (the field will follow Title information).
10. In Sequence 2 enter e.g. 8 (this places the setting at the end of the existing “4” bib settings).
11. Include is set to Yes.
12. Save and Close.

 Note: it is recommended that the following fields are not configured to display in the top half of the screen as they each have an option to display on an additional information tab in the lower half of the screen:

• copy information
• abstract
• articles in a serial issue or linked to a bound volume or serial header
• issues bound in a bound volume
• catalogue enrichment information
• contents (i.e. child title records)
• journal holdings
• cross-referenced title records
• serial issues

Display data for name, subject, class, ctrl on new lines:
You can configure Folio so that the data for some fields is displayed on a new line rather than as a semi-colon-separated string on the same line. This includes:

• name
• subject
• class
• control

Each author, subject, class, control number will display on separate new lines:

1. Go to  OPAC> Configuration Settings.
2. Search for tidetails. (Tip: switch to Table View to view the array more easily).
3. For any of the above fields, in Value 3, insert an upper-case Y as the second character (immediately before asterisk* if present).

e.g:

Value ctrl
Value 2 "Control number"
Value 3 0Y

4. Save the changes.

Change the tab displays

The information in the lower half of the screen is dependent on media type as standard.

The following settings in g_title_details determine which tabs and content are displayed and in what order in the lower half of the page:

• tidetails_tabs - see below (all media types except serials, issues and bound volumes)
• tidetails_tabs_SER (journals)
• tidetails_tabs_SISS (issues)
• tidetails_tabs_BVOL (bound volumes)

tidetails_tabs:

 
tidetails_tabs example:

Remove a specific tab details display:

1. Go to OPAC> Configuration Settings.
2. Search for tidetails_tabs and click the link to display the details of the record you want to remove, e.g. "contents".
3. Set Include=No.

Re-order a specific tab details display:

1. Go to OPAC> Configuration Settings.
2. Search for tidetails_tabs.
3. Open the details of the record you want to re-order in modify mode, e.g. “abstract”.
4. Re-order the display of this tab using the Sequence2 field.

Add a new tab display

A new details tab can be made available - "objects". This allows you to display the details of an "attachment" / external file / url in the lower half of the title details page:

The details are not provided by default so you need to configure another record in the title details tabs array - tidetails_tabs.

1. Go to OPAC> Configuration settings.
2. Click New Record to create another setting called tidetails_tabs:

3. In Value 2 enter e.g. "1". “0” will display nothing in front of the locator; “1” displays the Object Type long description; “2” displays the Object Type short description.
4. Value 3 must be set to at least “”, which will cause all objects to display with an Object Type that has either nothing or 0 in the Object Type Code field.

Alternatively where n, x, y and z can be any value between 0 and 9:
Set to “n” to display objects with n in the Object Type Code field.
Set to “x,y,z” to display objects with either x, y or z in the object type code field.

5. Set Sequence 1 to 5.
6. Set Sequence 2 to e.g. 9 or whatever is needed to determine the order of display compared with other title details tabs.

More on "objects" settings

The following settings in g_title_details are also relevant to the objects tab. If you want to change Folio's default tab header for objects and the default text, these settings need to be created:

For each of the new settings you create below, assign them to Config Block - g_title_details.

Enter the preferred text in the Value field.

• gl_objects: the tab header: defaults to Links to eResources if it is not defined.

• gl_no_objects_to_display:  message that is displayed if the title record does not have any attached objects (with an Object Type: Object Type Code specified in Value 2). Defaults to No links to eResources to display if it is not defined.

Tab Label:

1. Go to OPAC> Configuration Settings.
2. Search for tidetails_tabs_labels.
3. Change the value for "Objects" to e.g "Links to e-Resources".

Change information in a tab setting

The fields cannot be changed, but a number of “alternative” tabs are available. For example, “copy” (above) is the default display for the Availability tab, but “copy[1-9]” are also available for alternative copy displays.

1. Go to OPAC> OPAC Config Block.
2. Search for g_title_details.
3. Click the Interface link to open the relevant tidetails_tabs array, e.g. “copy”.
4. Switch to modify and enter the new value in the Value field, using double quotes, e.g. “copy2”.

A number of values are possible. For example “copy” is provided as standard, but “copy7”, etc. display a different set of information.

“copy”, “copy2”, “copy3”, “copy4”, “copy5”, “copy6”, “copy7”, “copy8”, “copy9”, “copy10”, “copyes”, “copyscat”, “copysnh”, “copyswnhs”, “copyuhi2” and “loccopies” for copy information
“abstract” for the abstract
“related” for cross-referenced title records
“catenr” for catalogue enrichment information
“contents” for contents (i.e. child title records)
“jhld”, “jhld2”, “jhld3” or “jhldswnhs” for journal holdings
“ser_issues” for serial issues
“articles” for articles in a serial issue or linked to a bound volume or serial header
“bvol_issues” for issues bound in a bound volume
“ratings” for ratings and reviews
“recommender” for the recommender service (Also Borrowed ...)
“tags” for the end-user tags

Labels
A parallel entry in the tidetails_tabs_labels array is also included for each setting in the tidetails_tabs array.  The text in the Value field in the tidetails_tabs_labels array is displayed on the tab. For example, the corresponding label for “copy” is Availability.

Create a new title details tab

It is possible to configure the title details screen so any field from the title record can be displayed on a tab in the lower half of the screen. This can be instead of or as well as, a field in the upper half of the screen. For example you may like the Notes information to be displayed in a tab:

Example

1. Go to OPAC> Configuration Settings.
2. Search for tidetails_tabs and then click a New Record.
3. Set Config Block to g_title_details.
4. Enter "titlescol" in Value and complete the following details:

5. In Value 2, encase the string in double quotes. In the first string before the space you enter the column name in OLIB; in the string after the space you enter the text you would like to appear in the tab header. You can leave Value 2 with OLIB's default text - Field Contents if suitable.
6. Value 3 is the text that displays if the field to display on the tab is empty. Encase the string in double quotes. You can leave Value 3 with OLIB's default text -This field does not have any content if suitable.
7. Go to OPAC> Configuration Settings and search for tidetails_tabs_labels and create a new record. This is the text that is displayed on the tab itself: Notes

It should have the same Sequence 2 value as the tidetails_tabs array entry (11 in these examples).

Configure split screen ratio

The top half (bibliographic details) and bottom half (tab details) of the title details screen are apportioned a set amount of screen space; the default ratio is 35/55. This is the default applied if you do not create any of the below settings. From OLIB 9 Service Pack 7 depending on your data, you may prefer to apportion more space to the top half of the screen, e.g. if the bottom half of the screen only includes the Copies tab and you only have one or two copies of each item.

If you want to change the ratio, this is configurable at various levels - system ; site specific interface ; media type ; individual title. This depends on the following settings which you can choose to create.

Example

1. Go to OPAC> Configuration Settings.
2. Search for one of the settings below e.g. ssr_ti. If not found, click New Record to create it.
3. Enter details as described in the table below. In Value the number you enter will be the “size” of the top half of the screen. The size of the bottom half will be calculated by subtracting this number from 90.
4. Save the changes.

Changes will take place when you reload Folio.

 Note: if there is only one tab to display on the lower section of the title or user account details screen, the tab graphic itself is not displayed. Instead, the data on the tab that has been configured to display is automatically stretched across the full width of the screen.

New Output Formats

It is possible to include fields on the Folio Title details screen whose content is derived from an output format record. These can be used to include html in the output in such a way that web links can be included in the field. This allows a link to an external source – e.g. Google Books. To do this, you add an output format setting to the Folio title details page. This points to an output format record in OLIB with text specified as needed using the hash tag system (OLSTF). This may include a link to another service e.g. Google Books.

There is no limit to the number of different output format fields you can configure on the Folio title details screen.

 Note: Output format records are set up in exactly the same way as they were set up for WebView. However, it is not essential to set up new output format records. If you have already set up output format records for WebView, you can re-use these output format records in Folio.

Possible values for the tidetails array

The following table provides a list of values that can be used and their purpose.
