The COLLDB (collection database) is for configuration of individual collections. Many aspects of how a collection is presented in the interface are controlled by elements in the COLLDB. It is very powerful in that sense, and allows extensive customization to be done without modification of XML/XSL.
The majority of Collmgr Fields are fully documented within Collmgr. This document now only includes extensive information beyond what could be reasonably kept in the Collmgr help document.
Table of COLLDB Field Definitions
Field Name | Description | Example | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
dfltentryflds and dfltresentryflds | the list of fields (as abbreviations) to display in entry (full record) views. to display all fields, enter the value "default". |
BHL_IT In colldb, values must be listed 1 per line. However within a processing instruction, values must be delimited by pipes ( "|" ). e.g., MUSART.TI|MUSART.CR|musart.DA Values are not case sensitive. There are several options that may be turned on and off to enhance the display of records. The options are specified as another value among abbreviations. When the status of an option is changed, the change is persistent for all subsequent fields, until the status is changed again. The exceptions to this are "sectionlabel" and "urltext", which are specified as often as needed. The "url" option, for example, causes fields that contain
a URL (and nothing but a URL), to be turned into a hyperlink. It can
be used in conjunction with the "urltext" option, which
allows the link text to be specified. By default the URL itself is used
for the link text. e.g., The "hilite" option causes search terms to be hilited. This
option is "on" by default, but if you wanted to turn hiliting
off for several consecutive fields, you could. e.g., MUSART.TI The complete list of field options are as follows:
* use underscores for spaces. special characters may not work. The Processing Instruction "RECORDTABLE" has similar functionality. |
