Collection owners can customize the following new features for each of their published collections:

  2. QuickView fields
  3. Download options

This form will allow you to choose options for each of these features.  Please fill in all the sections below and submit one form for each of your collections.

List up to five metadata fields from your collection to use as "narrow your search by" options for the collection. Facets allow users to select options and further refine their search or browse results. (Each metadata field used as a facet must be set in Web Administration Field Properties to "Search=Yes" and "Hidden=No.")

List three metadata fields from your collection to use for the QuickView of your items. The QuickView window appears when a user holds their mouse over any item in the collection, and displays the item's title and the metadata field contents you choose. (Each metadata field used in QuickView must be set in Web Administration Field Properties "Hidden=No.") The title of the item is already included as part of the QuickView window, so please choose other metadata fields for this option.
