Library administrator - Logging in

You can access Library Administration functions from both the Web Client and the FileHold Desktop Application (FDA). The Web Client has full access to all Library Administration functions while there is limited functionality in FDA.

The Library Administration features in FDA include:

These functions work fairly similarly to the Web Client functions.

To login to Library Administrator from the Web Client

  • This is a link on your desktop or from the FileHold Desktop Application (FDA) by selecting Administration > Web administration panel from the menu bar.

  2. Click the Administration > Full administration menu link at the top of the screen.

Some frequently accessed library administration functionality can be found under the Administration menu for both the Web Client and FileHold Desktop Application (FDA). This provides quick easy access to specific administrative functionality without the need to leave or lose the information on the current library screen.

The full administration menu can be accessed:

  • In the Web Client, click Administration and select Full administration menu
  • In the FDA, from the Administration menu, select Web Administration Panel > Full administration menu.

All users have access to the Administration panel but depending upon the role used to log into the Web Client, only the functionality that the user is able to access is shown in the administration panel. As a system administrator, you have access to everything in the Administration panel.

In the Administration panel, a setting called Solo Mode can be enabled so only one section of the Administration panel will expand at a time. If Solo Mode is disabled, then all of the sections can be expanded and the Collapse All button is available.
