Manage title classifications at the district

A district can create a district-level title classification, and determine if that classification is visible for all or only admin. District users can create title classifications, determine their visibility, and limit by or view them in a Title & Copy List.

Important: To set up title classifications, you must be a district user that can Manage Library Materials for the District. When working at the site-level, to see title classifications in the search filter, search results, and Title Details, you must have the Search for/view Title Classifications permission. The default classification is Standard. You will not see title classifications unless additional classifications are added.

To set up a title classification:

1. Log in to Destiny as a District Administrator.

2. Select Admin > Configuration.

3. Next to Title Classifications, click Edit.

4. In the Add Title Classification field, enter a classification name.

   

   Example: A district uses a title classification of "Processing" for books that are purchased, but not ready to be checked out by patrons.

5. Next to Visible to, do either of the following:

   Select...	To..
   All Users	Allow title to be seen by all users.
