Push One Search database configuration

If your district purchases subscriptions to online databases for the entire district, you can push One Search database configurations to multiple sites. This is a quick way to enter authentication information once, and apply it to other schools in the district.

Important: Only the Destiny Administrator can push a One Search configuration to other sites.

Only database configurations that the source site and receiving sites have in common are updated by the push.

To push a One Search database configuration:

To push a One Search database configuration, select one Library Manager site, configure its databases for One Search, and then push that complete configuration to all valid Library Manager sites, a group of sites, or a single site.

1. Log in as a Destiny Administrator.
2. Select Setup > District Options sub-tab.
3. Next to One Search Database Information, click Edit. The Push One Search Database Configuration page appears.
4. From the Select Source Site drop-down, select a school.

   Note: The database configurations at the source site will be duplicated at other sites in the district. Therefore, you should set up the source site with every district subscription that you want to push to other sites.

5. To configure the source site, or to review the configuration, click Configure.

   Notes:  The push process only works for databases that use the same username and password for each school in the district. Any databases that require a unique username and password for each school need to be set up at the individual schools. Users at each school who have the Set up One Search permission can add or edit database configurations. If any of the receiving schools already have databases that are not configured at the source site, those databases are not affected by the push. If the source school and any of the receiving schools have a database in common, the receiving school’s configuration for that database is overridden when the push is processed. If some subscriptions are site-based and therefore different for each site, you might want to: temporarily delete that database configuration at the source site, push the configuration, replace the database configuration at the source site, and then configure it at each of the other applicable sites.

6. From the Push Configuration to drop-down, select the entire district, a site type, or a single site.

   Note: The push process automatically selects the Use One Search checkbox for any receiving sites that do not already have it selected.

7. Click Go. A message notifies you which sites will receive the database configurations you set up at the source site.
8. To proceed, click Yes.
