Group Search preferences are used for Distributed Catalogs to creat= e search groups that store Alexandria Data Station DNS or IP addresses= . Once properly configured, you can search these addresses from the Gr= oup Search interface. You may add as many search groups as y= ou need to manage your Alexandria libraries and/or collections.
Generally, most create an individual search group for each sup= plementary site. However, additional search groups may be created= instead for more extensive searches. For example, you can create custom&nb= sp;search groups that contain Data Stations according to geographical = regions (e.g. Northwest Quadrant) or levels (i.e. Elementary Scho= ols) in a school district.
The left-hand side of the Group Search preferences contains th= e Groups list, where all your search groups are display= ed in the order which they were created. The Data Stations list i= s essentially a collection of remote Alexandria Data Stations that you can&= nbsp;Add or Remove. The area situated below the Groups = and Data Stations lists contains tools that useful for adding, re= moving, rearranging, or testing both search groups and Data Stati= ons.
Add a new search group to the&n= bsp;Groups pane. These can later be accessed in the Researcher's = Group Search interface (/groupsearch). Keep in mind that Group Na= mes must be unique.
Remove an existing search group and&= nbsp;all of the associated Data Stations. Be absolutely positive that = you want to remove the group before clicking Remove; it cannot be= undone.
These controls organize how Data Stations= are arranged in a group, which affects the order in which they are se= arched by the Group Search interface (/groupsearch) when their pr= incipal search group is selected. New Data Stations are always ad= ded to the bottom of the selected groups list.
Copy a Data Station and add it to the sel= ected search group in the Groups pane.
The Actions dropdown menu at the bo= ttom of the Data Stations list contains tools that useful for add= ing, removing, or testing remote Alexandria Data Stations.
Add a new Alexandria Data Station. Each D= ata Station acts as its own local server with an individual site name&= nbsp;and access URL (i.e. DNS or IP address). Enter the DNS or IP addr= ess of the remote Data Station you would like to add. Each Data Station req= uires an authentication code to connect.
The browser protocol=E2=80=94such as https://=E2=80=94m= ust be included in the access URL if it's required by the host (this applie= s to all Cloud-Hosted users).
Edit an existing Data Station from the&nb= sp;Data Stations list.
Remove the currently selected Data Statio= n from the Data Stations list.
This verifies that you can establish a co= nnection with the selected server and then refreshes and updates the remote= Data Station's information.
