Configure audit records
Overview
There are multiple elements that can be configured in the Audit Record for each request.
Some of the configuration options are applicable for the display only to patrons and other libraries (NOT to staff).
Note: In Relais D2D and in shared Relais ILL systems all members must agree on the text to display.
Configuring which columns to hide (if any) can be configured separately for the web forms used by patrons and other libraries from those used by staff.
For example, hide the User column (that displays the staff Login ID).
This applies only to web forms used by patrons and other libraries. Rows are not hidden to staff.
Modify the text of the location
For example to change the text of the Location 'Move To Next'
to 'Request Moved'.
Modify the text of the function
For example change the text of the Function 'Delivered'
to 'Sent'.
Modify the text of the Note
To modify the text in the Note column, submit a Configuration Change incident to Support Centre Plus. Provide details of the row to be changed and the text to be changed. This modification is made by Relais International staff.
