RE: [IUG] OPAC Question

[Meredith R Callahan <Meredith dot Callahan at Colorado dot EDU>]

Hi Ruth,

We just launched our re-design with WebPac Pro, but I think my answers still
apply to your redesign without Pro:

1)      Do you make any effort to insure that the login box does not
display on any screen after the user has logged in?  If yes, how do you
handle this? 

We use the TOPLOGO wwwoption and a toplogo.html file where include a login
prompt on the toplogo. There is also a TOPLOGO_LOGGEDIN wwwoption (and a
toplogo_loggedin.html file) which we use when a patron is logged in. The
login prompt does not appear on this toplogo.

2)      If you do not hide the login box, do you do anything to insure
that users know that they are still logged in? If so, what do you do?

See answer above.

3)      Do you know where the system pulls the library name when it
displays "You are logged into XXXX as XXXX?"  Do you know if it is possible
to alter the library name as it displays?

You can customize this somewhat with the LOGGEDIN_MSG wwwoption. Ours is set
as <span class="loggedInMessage">You are logged into The %s as %s</span><br
/> We added the "The" because the message was displaying as "You are logged
into staff mode at University of Colorado at Boulder." 

Hope this helps.

We are in the process of redesigning our web OPAC.  Although we may later
move the new version to WebPac Pro, we are redesigning without WebPac Pro
turned on.  We plan to include the My Millennium login on the search/x page
which will be our initial/main page. We know that a token will display a
"You are logged into. . ." message on each screen once the user has logged
in.  However, we have a few questions for those of you who have prominently
included the My Millennium login into your design.  Both questions assume
that the patron has logged in to their account. 
 

1)      Do you make any effort to insure that the login box does not
display on any screen after the user has logged in?  If yes, how do you
handle this?

2)      If you do not hide the login box, do you do anything to insure
that users know that they are still logged in? If so, what do you do?

3)      Do you know where the system pulls the library name when it
displays "You are logged into XXXX as XXXX?"  Do you know if it is possible
to alter the library name as it displays?

 

If you choose to follow this link to view our site, please remember that
this is a work in progress and we are just beginning the redesign project.
