Creating Title Entry Pages

When a title has been gathered and analysis and processing have been completed you can then create a Title Entry Page (if it is a new title) or add the new instance to the existing Title Entry Page.

Procedures covered in this section include:

Creating a New Title Entry Page (TEP)

Before you can create a TEP, the processing status for the archived instance must be set to: Current Status "Archived". You should also have finished the analysis of the title and the Analysis Status should be set to "Completed". You begin creating a TEP from the Title - Management screen.

To start creating a TEP:

  1. Click on the Archive link on the Menu Bar
  2. If there is no existing TEP for the title a message will appear asking if you would like to create one. Click on the Create button. You will now be at the Title - Archive screen
  3. Click on the Tep tab. This opens the first TEP data entry screen

On this screen you should:

  1. Make sure the title in the title field is how you want it to display on the TEP. NB: This title can be different from the title as it appears in the main record on PANDAS. Changing the title here will not alter the main record for the title on PANDAS.
  2. If required, add a note in the Intro Note (top note) field, e.g. for serial titles this would be the message to say that some issues accessed through a Home Page may be incomplete etc. NB: The Into Note (top note) is not the standard note about gathering frequency and status; that note is automatically generated based on the status set in the title record.
  3. If required, add a note in the Special Note (bottom note) field, e.g. this could be a special note associated with the copyright statement.
  4. If there is a publisher's copyright statement include the URL for the archived version in the Publishers Copyright URL box.
  5. If the publisher's statement is a disclaimer rather than a copyright statement select "disclaimer" from the Publisher Copyright Label drop-down box.
  6. Select the appropriate status from the TEP Status drop-down box. This will normally be "Public" which will allow the TEP to be displayed publicly. If the TEP is not to be made public use "Private".
  7. Select the appropriate label from the TEP Instance Label drop-down box. This is the hypertext link label that appears next to the archived instance on the TEP. The options are Home Page, Title and Site.

When you have completed the details on the the Tep tab click on the Instances tab. You will see this screen:

On this screen you should:

  1. Make sure the instance indicated in the Selected Instance box is the one you wish to work on. You can choose a particular instance by selecting from the Selected Instance drop-down box
  2. If required, add notes in the Instance Notes box. These are notes that are specific to the particular archived instance. Adding an instance note will add a button next to the instance link on the TEP which, when clicked, will open a box displaying the note
  3. If required, add browser and plugin notes in the Browser Notes and Plugin Notes boxes. These notes will add another button next to the instance link on the TEP which, when clicked, will open a box displaying the notes
  4. Click on the Public Link tick box to make the instance display on the TEP. If you do not want the instance to display on the TEP then you should click on the Hide Instance Link tick box and make sure the Public Link tick box is empty
  5. If you are creating a TEP for a serial title see instructions for Creating Serial Issues
  6. If you are creating a TEP for a monograph or integrating title click the Finish button
  7. You will be taken back to the Title - Management screen where you can view the newly created TEP by clicking on the PI link. NB: You should always check the TEP to ensure that there are no errors and all links work. If there is an invalid status/standing this will appear as a message highlighted in red. If you need to re-edit the TEP you must click on the Archive link on the Menu Bar to go back to the Title - Archive screen

Creating Serial Issues

Before creating serial issues you must have created the basic TEP details and indicated whether or not you want the instance(s) made public or hidden. If you have clicked on the Finish button after creating the basic TEP and instance information and are looking at the Title - Management screen, you will need to click on the Archive link on the Menu Bar to return to the Title - Archive screen.

To create serial issues:

  1. Click the Issues link on the Menu Bar. A message will appear asking you to save the TEP information. (NB: You will not get this message if you have already clicked the Finish button when creating the TEP information.)
  2. Click the Save button. A message will appear saying there are no issues for this archived instance
  3. Click the Add button
  4. You will now be taken to the Title - Archive screen Issues tab where you can begin adding issues

Ordering Issues

You may need to change the order in which issues appear.

  1. Go to the Title - Archive screen and click the Issues link on the Menu Bar
  2. Click on the Order tab to display the Order screen

If the serial issues are not organised in groups all issues will be visible in the display box. If the issues are in groups you can only move the issues up and down within the group. You can view the issues within a specific group by selecting the group from the Select Group drop-down box.

  1. Select the group in which you want to move issue from the Select Group drop-down box
  2. Highlight the issue you want to move (NB: Unlike moving issues to a group, you can only move one issue at a time to re-order the list)
  3. Click on the up or down arrow that appears to the right side of the display box. Clicking the up and down arrows will move the issue up or down by one line for each click.
  4. Repeat steps to re-order other issues
  5. Click the Finish button to return to the Title - Management screen

INSECT Title Entry Pages

Title Entry Pages for INSECTs are generated automatically by the system. The TEP display notes and subgroups labels are recorded in the record for the INSECT (see instructions for Creating INSECT Records).

To include a title in an INSECT collection TEP you must have already attached an INSECT (and INSECT subgroup if applicable) on the Title - Edit screen (see Creating and Editing Title Records). To add the title to the INSECT TEP follow the basic procedures for creating TEPs including making the archived instance public or hidden, as appropriate. You can move a title to a different subgroup by changing the selected subgroup on the Title - Edit screen (see Creating and Editing Title Records). You cannot re-order titles within a subgroup.

Former Titles on Title Entry Pages

When an integrating site changes its title the former title can be made to appear in parentheses after the new title on the TEP. To create this "formerly" title on the TEP you must create the change of title at the History tab on the Title - Edit screen (see Title Changes for instruction). When you have created the link you will then need to go to the the Tep tab on the Title - Archive screen and change the TEP display title to the new (later) title. You should not include the former title when doing this as that will be generated automatically by PANDAS.
