Your M5 setup page is where you can do much of the customization that makes your M5 installation work best for your library.
To get to your setup page, log into M5 as an administrator. You will see a button for Enter Setup on the lower right corner. Clicking this brings you to a login page for Setup. Log in with your login and password. The default is admin / boca raton. This is a separate login and password from your M5 logins.
After logging in, you'll be at the Library Settings section of Setup. Select the Server Configuration section to see the IP address and port number of your database, plus any special keys that indicate a location within a union catalog, if appropriate.
When you leave Setup
If you have made any changes in Setup, you need to open a new session of M5 to be able to see the changes.
Click on the Setup button at the top of the left menu. This brings you to a page that shows the installations created for your library. There might be several installations, or you might just see the Default.
You can create other installations, which can different ways of accessing the program and your data. One example for using separate installations would be if you have a children's section and an adult section in your library. You might want the pictures and the links on the OPAC for the children's section to be different from the OPAC for the adult section. Or you might find that it is useful to have different installations for searching your collection and links from within the library and from outside the library or from home.
Notice that there is a link that shows you what that actual URL is. You can use that to copy the actual URL to a note or an email, or for creating the link from the school or community website.
To be able see and modify the settings for any installation from this page, you must click on the Edit button in line with the installation name. Clicking on it brings you to the server configuration page and makes the rest of the buttons live.
Clicking on the name of the installation opens a new session in a new window at that URL.
