Resource Manager Wizard PropertiesResource Manager Wizard PropertiesYou can change current system settings in the Resource Manager wizard using the Properties window. The Resource Manager wizard allows you to set the following properties.
Display Property Page
You can choose when to display the wizard’s Properties window by selecting one of the following options.
| • | Wizard Startup – Displays the Set Properties window the first time you access the wizard until you end the wizard session or log off the client. |
| • | Never – Does not display the Set Properties window the first time you access the wizard. If Never is selected and you want to open the Set Properties window, point to the wizard’s toolbar button, right-click, and then click Properties on the shortcut menu. |
Depending on the value selected in Display Property Page, defaults may appear as the first step of the wizard. Property values that are changed in the first step of a wizard are retained only until the right-click method is used to set properties.
Behavior
The values in Resource Manager allow you to set defaults for metadata displays.
| • | For Display Children Metadata, click Yes to allow children metadata to display in the wizard or No to prevent children metadata from displaying in the wizard. Display Children Metadata is used to allow the supervisor or administrator to manage the display of Children Metadata in the Resource Manager wizard. Children metadata is displayed in the lower right pane of the Hyperion Administration window. The default setting for Display Children Metadata is Yes. The Show/Hide Metadata helper can be used to change the behavior set in this property. |
| • | Type a default for the Browse Hit Limit to define the number of hits that will be retrieved by a browse search. The browse hit limit is used to prevent a browse search from retrieving too many resources. The default is 2000. If a resource has more than 2000 children, only the first 2000 children will be displayed. |
Defaults
The values in Create Resource allow you to set defaults for who can create resources on your system.
| • | Access Level is defined in your Access Level policy. SirsiDynix delivers Access Level values that cannot be modified. The access level is also used in the OPAC Manager Gateway elements and in the User Access policy. Access levels include SYSTEMADMIN, SUPERVISOR, STAFF, PUBLIC, and EXTENDED PUBLIC. The property default is EXTENDED PUBLIC. |
| • | Classification determines the classification required by staff at a particular access level in order for them to be able to create resources in the hierarchy. These classifications are also defined in your system policies and are only used if your site has also purchased the Accountability module. In the Accountability module, the title or document classification determines if an accountability operator can charge the accountable resource to a user. When accountable resources are displayed, the documentation classification determines if the operator is able to display the resource. NONE is the property default. This field is required to create an accountability record. |
The values in Search Resource allow you to set defaults for who is given access to search and view which resources on your system.
| • | Resource Type is defined in your Resource Type Attribute policy. Access to any Resource Type can be disabled for any user. Defined Resource Types are selected via lists that display when resources are added or modified. The Resource Type Attribute policy also controls whether a particular type can be a child or parent of another. ANY is the property default. The Resource Type identifies and describes an element in the directory tree. Each element may represent an actual digital resource, or the organizational element that is used to categorize a group of related works. Resource Types may be subdivided, using parent and child concepts, to create a hierarchy in the directory tree. Refer to the Resource Attributes Policy ( Resource Type Wizard) and Understanding the Structure of Hyperion for more information. |
Example In the following example, COLLECTION, ABSTRACT, SUBJECT, PRESS, and DOCUMENT are Resource Types.
COLLECTION: U.S. Space & Rocket Center
ABSTRACT: Welcome to the Press Room
SUBJECT: U.S. Space & Rocket Center Press Releases
ABSTRACT: Welcome to the Press Room
PRESS: U.S. Space & Rocket Center Background Story
PRESS: U.S. Space & Rocket Center Exhibits and Attractions
PRESS: U.S. Space & Rocket Center Offers Complete Space Experience
SUBJECT: U.S. Space & Rocket Center Brochures
DOCUMENT: U.S. Space & Rocket Center, Huntsville, AL, Brochure
SUBJECT is a child of COLLECTION, and PRESS AND DOCUMENT are both children of SUBJECT. However, PRESS and DOCUMENT do not have children, because they are actual objects in the directory tree. Child level Resource Types are defined as valid in the Resource Type Attribute policy. ABSTRACT is defined as a Parent Characteristics type, which, ironically, cannot have any children. Instead, the ABSTRACT Resource Type is used to define the characteristics of the group to which it is a child. It defines the entire group. TRASHSITE and TRASHBIN are used to retain elements that have been removed from the active metadata. These Resource Types cannot be displayed in the e-Library.
| • | If your system is configured to use Extended Metadata Formats, these are defined in the Extended Attribute Format policies. If they are assigned, extended metadata records display below the Resource Metadata in the Resource Metadata pane. Extended Metadata Formats allow the user to search fields such as Author or Copyright in the metadata record. This property sets the default for the Field to Search in the Advanced search. ALL is the default. The values that display for selection are based on the Format (such as DUBLIN or HYPERX) that is associated with the Resource Type Attribute you select in the Resource Type field. Access to any Extended Metadata Format can be disabled for any user. |
The values in Import Image allow you to specify the location of images imported into the metadata.
| • | In Import Image from PC Directory, enter the name of the Directory on the PC that will serve as a repository to temporarily store the image files as they are imported or viewed. Typically this is a temporary file on drive C:. You can use the Open File gadget to select a default workstation directory to use when you are importing images from the PC to the metadata. |
| • | In Import Image from Server Directory, enter the name of the Directory on the server that will be a repository to temporarily store the image files as they are imported or viewed from the server. Typically this is a file on the server /tmp. You can set a partial path and enter subdirectory paths in the helper. If you use the properties to set the directory path, only the remainder of the path and file name can be entered in the helper. The file name must always be entered in the helper. |
The values in File Host Information allow you to specify the location of your Hyperion installation.
| • | In IP Address, enter the server Internet address. This may be the numeric IP address or a domain name if this value is defined. You must also enter a value for the file server. File Host Information typically contains the same IP Address as Host Information, but data may be stored on a separate server. If the digital media file server is not running, you will not be able to start the client. |
| • | Port, allows you to specify the port to which the workstation should connect. The default value for the Port field is 5100 for SirsiDynix Symphony host systems, but any number up to 32,000 can be specified. However, TCP/IP socket numbers may be reserved for specific uses, and may vary according to platform. Check your server documentation for valid, open socket numbers. |
