RE: [IUG] WebPAC Pro: Naive question

["Wylie Ackerman" <wyliea at dpls dot lib dot or dot us>]

David,

There are a few things that I noticed in our upgrade:

The Innovative branding footer will appear on most pages (I don't think
this is optional)
The number of results returned in a search will go from 12 to 50
Keyword searches will use Right Results and the results will be grouped
by "Relevancy"
I can't remember the specifics, but there are also a few slight changes
in My Account/My Millennium

Thank you, Bob. I had looked at both of those pages. Somehow they don't
address the actual information need I have, which is something like a
simply described list of immediate changes to the system.

For example, the first page "WebPAC Pro" addresses the question, "What
preparations must we make?" That's straightforward enough, but it's not
what I'm asking. Additionally, the statement that "WebPAC Pro will go
live simultaneously on your staging WebPAC and your live WebPAC" makes
my question even more acute. Again, what happens at Moment One?

Thanks also, though, for pointing out the importance of the brief.cit
file. That gives me something concrete to work on to begin with.

Best wishes,

Some quick answers can be had by visiting two CSDirect pages:

WebPAC Pro: <http://csdirect.iii.com/faq/webpacpro.shtml>

Going Pro Enhancement
Tour:
<http://csdirect.iii.com/documentation/references/going_pro.shtml>

I'm guessing already-Pro libraries will weigh in on what you should be
thinking about ahead of time, but one basic thing you should probably
take care of is creating a briefcit.html file to your liking.  Pro
record browses use briefcit by default; if you don't already have one,
the install will create one for you, but IMO it's easier to create one
you like in staging pre-Pro than to try and scramble to customize the
install-created version while users are active.
