Configuring My Account settings
My Account Settings lets you enable or disable specific parts of the library user interface, especially those parts that deal with library users' ability to manage their accounts. The My Account Settings interface is divided into accordion-like sections. When you click the heading of a closed section, it opens to show the options available there and whatever section was open closes. When you choose OK, the setting for all sections where you made modifications are saved.

The My Account functionality is not available in Portfolio unless you have set up a Web Services connection. When you have a web services connection, you must also select it as an authentication source before the My Account settings can be enabled or disabled (for more information, see Setting up Web Services authentication). Also, many of the My Account Settings are dependent on similar settings in Symphony or Horizon. If an option is not enabled in Symphony, it cannot be enabled by Portfolio. Some otpions are not available in Horizon, such as checkout history and groups. |
