A-Z Resource List How-to-Guide

Formatting Your List

Formatting Options

In the A-Z Resources menu return to the Lists page. Use the hamburger menu (three stacked dots) to select Settings - this is where you will be able to format the Main Content, Sidebar, and Language Customizations.

Main Content

In the Main Content menu you will be able to format your resource list asset entries.

  • Below the Intro Text box, find the Search/Filters Options. Select the filters you would like to display on the public A-Z list page. Patrons will use them to search for content. Only custom Select type data fields, Keyword/Search, and Subjects are available for selection.
  • Turn the Asset Landing Page on or off.
  • With Asset Content Display, you can determine if the data fields will be visible or not (you can use one of the Select options as a search bar option and still hide the data field from view on the public A-Z resource list). Change the order in which the data fields appear - use the up/down arrows on the right to move the data field into the order you prefer. Also, moving the fields so they fall before or after the Additional Section (expansion panel) will change what information is initially shown to the patron. If the data field is below the bar, it will be hidden until the patron clicks on the expansion panel.
  • Content Customization Options will let you choose if the information that appears in the public A-Z resource page is Short, with three lines of information before providing an Additional Info caret drop down or a View More link that will take you to the asset landing page (if you opted to use the landing page) or Full - if it will provide all of the information from the data fields above the Additional Info Section line.
  • Save Changes.

Sidebar

Use the options to tailer what content you want presented in the sidebar of the public A-Z resource list. After making your selections, Save Changes.

Language Customizations

In order to customize the wording of the defaults in your A-Z resource list, use the Language Customization drop down. Instead of using "Assets," which is not a particularly descriptive word for a patron, change it to the Asset Type to be more clear. So, rather than "Assets" - use News Source, Guide, Organization, Entries, etc., for each of the instances the word "Assets" is used in the public A-Z resource page. After making the language updates, Save Changes.
