Custom Parameters Guide iii

Introduction

This guide contains a listing of all the Custom Parameters in Softlink

Liberty version 3.5 that can be safely changed by the Librarian or by the
IT staff.
As this guide was created in September 2007, any parameters created
since then are not listed here. Also, there are many parameters that are
not listed here which have been created either for use by Softlink Support
staff, or require a special product registration to access the appropriate
functionality. These unlisted parameters should not be modified without
direction from Softlink.
Each parameter in this guide contains a brief explanation on its affects and
its default value. If no default value is listed, then the value is initially
blank. The Liberty Reference Manual contains further details on most of
these parameters and the affected functionality.

Determining a Parameters Functionality

Just reading a parameters name does not always make it immediately

obvious as to what its functionality is. In such cases, reading the
parameters description and checking its current value identifies what
functionality is currently implemented.
For example, the DeleteOutstandingReservations parameter determines if
borrowers with outstanding (current) reservations can be deleted. When
this parameters value is TRUE (which means yes, do this function),
borrowers that have outstanding reservations can be deleted. When the
value is FALSE (which means no, do not allow this function), borrowers
with outstanding reservations cannot be deleted.

Editing a Parameter

The process of editing any of the parameters is identical; the only

difference is the value type that is entered. The majority of parameters
have a value of TRUE or FALSE, and only those two options can be used.
Other parameters require a name, a number, a date, some free-text or a
selection from a list of radio buttons.

Note: To access the parameters, the logged user requires the Admin
Security group.
The parameter values are not case sensitive.

To change a parameters value perform the following steps:

1. Navigate to System > Custom Parameters.
2. Search for and edit the appropriate parameter.
3. Change the value as appropriate.
4. Click the Save button to complete the change.
It is recommended that users logout and then login to ensure that the

parameters new value is implemented.
