<!--{token}-->

When using tokens, they must be justified to the far left of the page and be on a line all by themselves. For this reason, it is important to turn off automatic indenting in your web editing software (if you are using a web editor rather than a text editor).

Moving a token over even one space will disable it. If you want to temporarily disable a token, to see how it works, without deleting it from your file, you can simply move it over one space. However, if you move it far into the middle of the page will make it easier to see in order to move it back. It's easy to miss seeing a single space.

For example, look at the Advanced Search page (srchhelp_X.html). Note the limit by Material Type drop down option there. It is controlled by the {mattype} token.

Now, moving that token far to the right.

See that the limit by Material Type drop down menu is gone.

The {mattype} token is a placeholder for the information contained in the library's table of material type codes. Want to change a label or add a new code? You only have to make that change in Millennium under Admin | Parameters | General | Fixed-length codes | Mat Type. This is a good example of how a token acts as a placeholder for information kept elsewhere that the library has control over.

The option is available to have only certain material types displaying for limiting. For instance, if you didn't want to have Maps as a limiting option, it could be removed. Innovative could create a separate file that would control which material types (codes and labels) to display. This would mean that you no longer control over the labels or codes displaying in the WebPAC. The {mattype} token would still be a placeholder for information kept elsewhere, that information would just not be under the libraries control. See Service Commitments under Limiting.
