Setting up Resource Panels
The Resource Panel is a pop-up window and can be set up to display resources at the browse or bibliographic level. After one or more active resources are set to display in panel, the next step is to determine the display.
The panel requires several components to properly display. One element is the RESLINK web option. This determines the location of the button to launch the resource panel. The web option is divided into 4 sections, each separated with a "|"(vertical bar or pipe).
<bib display>|<browse display>|<record suppression>|<index suppression>
<bib display> Position of the Resource Link button on the bib record display. There are 8 possible locations each identified by a keyword:

The panel is designed in the file wp_panel.html. Prior to Release 2009B, this file could only reside on the live screens directory, but would be accessible on both the live (port 80) and staging (port 2082). In Release 2009B and later, the file can be staged prior to going live (i.e. a separate file can reside in the staging screens directory than in the live screens directory).
The panel can be customized with the library logo and styles. The content of the panel is determined by the setup of origins, categories, resources, data tests and filters.
