We've made it easy for administrators to customise your institution's Engage settings. This is where only users with the admin role can:
- Update your educational institution's name and logo.
- Set a default password for new Engage users, requiring them to change it upon first login.
- Set your library loan duration and maximum checkout time.
- Choose whether the purchasing of library books is librarian purchasing or patron purchasing.
- Set your default curriculum(s).
- Activate your library content setting; i.e. choose whether you want learners to see the full library (including unpurchased content), or whether they should only have access to books your institution already owns.
- Set your Retail purchasing mode to either retail requests or user purchasing
- Enable or disable hardcopy book purchases for annual prescribed book orders.
Reviewing and updating your settings in Engage
- in Engage, navigate to the settings section by selecting the cog icon in the top right-hand corner of your screen.
- From the 'General Settings' page, you can update your educational institution's name by filling in the text block.
- To update your logo, simply hover your mouse over the green 'upload' icon and select it. Choose your new logo from your device and select 'Open'. Uploading a logo is helpful to your students and staff, who can use it to identify that they're in the right place.
- To help you update your library loan and checkout settings, enter the loan duration (number of days) into the Loan Duration box and the maximum number of books a user can checkout into the Maximum Checkouts box.
- You can also set your library purchase type on this page
- It's important to set your curriculum(s) to help improve your book browsing experience and the experience of your learners. Simply select your chosen curriculum(s) from the dropdown menu.
- Next, you can set whether non purchased content should be visible to all Engage users, by activating the library content setting.
- Under 'Retail Purchasing Mode', you can choose whether to enable retail requests for your institution or to allow users to purchase additional titles for themselves from the store.
- If your school is ordering prescribed books via Snapplify Engage, you can enable hardcopy book purchases here.
- When you are finished updating your settings, select 'Save'.
