### 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 "|"

The panel is designed in the file wp_panel.html. This file may only reside on the live screens directory, but is accessible on both the live (port 80) and staging (port 2082).

The panel can be customized with the library banner and styles. The content of the panel is determined by the setup of origins, categories, resources, data tests and filters.
