Modifying Scoping Level Headings

To modify scoping level headings:

1. Select Define/Maintain Scoping Levels from the PAC Admin menu (see The PAC Admin Menu for details).
   • The Define Scoping Levels screen displays. If your library or consortium has more than one Union database, the screen includes a separate section for each database.

• The screen displays a list of all currently defined scoping level headings, followed by a “blank” text box for defining additional scoping level headings.
• The default “All Libraries” scoping level heading is shown at the end of the list.

2. Enter the name of the new scoping level in the “blank” Scoping Labels - Level # text box.

   NOTE: You may use any name you wish as a scoping level heading. The scoping level heading can be alphanumeric, upper- and lower-case, and can include spaces. The scoping level heading cannot exceed 50 characters, including spaces.

3. Click the Submit button.
   • The Define Scoping Levels screen refreshes with the new scoping level heading added to the bottom of the list.
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 to add additional scoping level headings.

   NOTE: There must be a heading for each scoping level defined. For example, if you plan to define three scoping levels, separate headings must be entered (one at a time) in the Level 1 through Level 3 text boxes.

5. Use the Patron Default and Staff Default radio buttons to specify the scoping level you wish to use as the default scoping level for each user type.
   • By default, the “All Libraries” option is selected.

     NOTE: Changes to the default scoping level do not take place until you exit PAC Administration.

6. Use the Display to Patron? radio buttons to indicate whether or not the associated scoping level will be available for selection by library patrons; either Yes or No.
7. Click the Submit button to save your changes.

To delete a scoping level:

• Click the Delete button for the scoping level heading you wish to delete.
  • A confirmation dialog displays the message “Do you want to delete “Level #?”
• Click the OK button to continue. (Click the Cancel button to cancel the deletion and leave the scoping level unchanged.)
  • The Define Scoping Levels screen refreshes with the selected scoping level heading removed from the list.

To cancel changes to Scoping Level Headings:

• Click the Reset button before submitting changes to scoping level headings to cancel the changes and return the screen to its prior state.
