Prism Release Preview 20th August 2015

We’re pleased to announce that the next release of Prism is now available for preview.
This release includes:

  • Export results from remote sources to reference management tools
  • EndNote Web included in export options
  • Lists – add items from remote sources
  • Lists – add notes to individual items, and improved sorting
  • Lists – independent of borrower barcode
  • Autocomplete predictions for search on EDS, Summon & other integrated sources
  • Build Search for EDS, Summon and other integrated sources

ExpoExport from remote sourcesrt results from remote sources to reference management tools
You can now export results from searches on remote sources such as EDS and Summon and integrated sources such as a Calm archives dataset. It works in exactly the same way as exporting items from the local catalogue.

EndNote Web included in export options
We have added EndNote Web to the list of options for exporting references, on both individual search results and lists.

Lists – add items from remote sourcesLists including articles
You can now save to a list results from searches on remote sources such as EDS and Summon, and integrated sources such as a Calm archives dataset.

Lists – add notes to individual items, and improved sortingLists with individual notes
You can now add a note to an individual item in a list. The ‘Add Note’ button changes to ‘Edit Note’ when there is a note. We’ve also improved to moving of items up and down the list – wherever possible the item being moved is placed at the top of the screen to minimise your need to move the cursor.

Lists – independent of borrower barcode
The identity of the owner of a list is now based on their borrower ID rather than their barcode number. This means that when you issue a new library card with a new barcode number to a borrower who has created lists, they will still see their lists when they sign in to Prism with their new borrower number.

AuAutocomplete Summontocomplete predictions for search on EDS, Summon & other integrated sources
Autocomplete predictions are now offered on searches on integrated search targets and augmented discovery sources such as EDS, Summon and Calm, if you have autocomplete enabled in your tenancy.

Build Search for EDS, Summon and other integrated sources
You can now use the Build Search option to construct detailed queries against integrated search sources including EDS, Summon and Calm.

 

Making the most of your preview

Please check the preview version as early as possible to familiarise with the new functionality and to ensure that your tenancy still behaves as expected in terms of both functionality, including extensions, and styling.

To preview this release, please precede your tenancy URL with ‘demo.’, like this: demo.capitadiscovery.co.uk/{your tenancy name}. If you have your own host name, you’ll need to use demo.capitadiscovery.co.uk instead.

Release to the live service

The release of Prism to the live service will be on Thursday 27th August 2015.
