Enable and Arrange Your Virtual Library

The Virtual Library technology gives your audience the ability to cross-search between issues and allows you to archive editions by year, decade, or any custom category you define. Setting up your virtual library involves three main steps: enabling the library, creating categories, and assigning editions.

Setting Up My Categories

  1. Access My Library by clicking My Editions under the Main Navigation section. If you can't see My Library, contact your Customer Success Manager to activate this feature


  1. Click Categories, then follow the steps below:


  • Select the template where you want your categories to appear

  • Enable the option to Show filter page to have the option to filter categories. Leave it unchecked if you do not want to show it. When you click the Show Filter Page button, you will activate the Quick Links and Icons set

  • Check each icon or link set to activate these icons in the library


    This is how it would look like in the library. Users can click on these icons in the Library to open the edition, copy the link, download the file, or print it. 


  • Enable Category Tab to show the category tab within your library. If you don't want to show it, leave it unchecked

  • Type in the new category name, then click New Category to create and add categories to your library

  • Repeat this process for all necessary categories and make sure to save it


Assign Editions to Categories

Once your categories are set up, it’s time to assign your Editions: 


1. This time go to Libraries

2. Select the template to show the list of editions you need to assign to the appropriate category


3. Go the category column and click None, a pop up window will show. Choose the category then click Save Changes
