Adding Details to the Library Page
Whenever a new Page is created, the Library Page Details dialog will be displayed so that you can enter information about your new Page.
This topic covers:
Adding Basic Details
Page Title
In the Title box, type a title for your Page. This information can be used in Library Searches.
Page Type
Characterize the nature of the Page by selecting a Page Type in the Type list box. This information can be used in a Search Restriction to filter the results of an Advanced Search. Page Types are a fully customizable list. For more information, see Customizing the Firm Library.
Page Location
You have the option to select the location in the Library where you would like to place the Page.
Click Location to display the Page Location dialog. It displays the structure of the Sections in the Library. Pages are not displayed. You can use the Page Location dialog to browse through the Library's Sections to select the location where you want to place your Page.

Note: Only Librarians can add new Pages to the Firm Sections of the Library. A Non-Librarian can only add Pages to his or her Personal Sections or to the Firm Unshelved Materials Section, or Sections contained therein. Librarians will place Pages contained within the Firm's Unshelved Materials Section in appropriate locations within the Firm Sections. |
Date and Author
You can specify a Date and Author for the Page. Both the Date and Author may be used in restricting (filtering) Library Searches. The default date is the date when the Page was created. By default, the Author is the Firm Member who created the Page. If you want to add or edit an Author, click the Select People button, or type the name in manually.
Associating a Resource
In the Library Pages Details dialog, you can associate a Resource with a Page by assigning a path or URL to the Page.
To associate a Resource with a Page, choose Launch Details on the navigation list in the Library Page Details dialog.
Accessing a Resource via a path or URL
If identifying a web address as a Resource, type or paste the URL in the Path/URL text box.
If attaching a computer file document as a Resource, identify the place in which the document is stored. Although computer files can be stored anywhere accessible to you (on your own workstation or your firm's computer network), we recommend that you store them in a location on the firm's network (set up by your Amicus Administrator and configured for indexing), especially if this is a Firm Library Page. In general, type the location in the Path/URL text box:
-
If Documents are User-Managed—We recommend that you store the computer file in the \LIBRARY subfolder of the Shared Location—click the Path/URL button to open a dialog in which you can browse to the item, select it, and click Open. Or, if UNC paths are utilized at the firm, type the place in the Path/URL text box (e.g. \\Alaska\SharedDocuments\LIBRARY\abdg92.doc).
-
If Documents are Amicus-Managed—We recommend that you store the computer file in the Library Resources location set up by your Amicus Administrator, and identify the item using its UNC path (e.g. \\Alaska\SharedDocuments\LIBRARY\abdg92.doc).
Paid Services
To indicate that the Resource accessed by the Page charges a fee for its use, select the This Is A Paid Service checkbox in the Launch Details section. This designates the Page as a Paid Service for the purposes of the Paid Services Log. For more information on this Log, see Paid Services.
Adding a summary
You have the option of providing important information about the Page by entering it in the Summary box in the Library Page Details dialog. This information will be displayed in the Page Summary panel when you select the Page from the Navigation panel. You can also make use of the Summary when you do a Library Search.
To type a description, choose Summary on the navigation list in the Library Page Details dialog.
Then type or paste in information about the Resource in the Summary box.
