You can set certain display options within Preferences such as the number of days to save on your Research History, how you want your documents and your search results displayed.
Click the Preferences link on the navigation bar.
Click the Set Display Options tab.
Set options in the sections displayed:
Set Up Document and Display Options
When you are finished, click the Apply Changes button and continue with your research.
Click the radio button next to the desired display option (i.e., Use full screen to display the document text, or Display document navigation bar with the document text).
Open text-only documents in a new window —Click the down arrow and select Yes if you want to view documents in a new browser window. Select No if you want the text-only document to open in the current window.
Prompt to print text-only documents — Click the down arrow and select Yes if you want the system to automatically prompt you to print when you open a text-only document. Select No if you do not want to be automatically prompted.
Contents of text-only lists — Click the down arrow and select a format option for documents exported from text-only lists (i.e., Entire documents, Titles with URLs, or Titles only). See also: Converting Documents on Your Search Results List to Text only.
Click the down arrow and select from three ways to display your search results:
By Document—a combined list of documents from all different publications are displayed.
By Table of Contents–Show All—items with search hits are displayed in bright blue from their respective tabs, with the number of hits in brackets []. Items you selected to search that contain no hits will be in grey, with "zero" noted in brackets [0]. The items in grey are available for viewing to help you locate related documents.
By Table of Contents–Hits Only—only the items with search hits are displayed in bright blue from their respective tabs, with the number of hits in brackets []. Items with no hits do not appear on the tab.
The Table of Contents display feature replaces the "by
publication" display. If you currently have "by publication"
set as your default display in Preferences, the system will automatically
change your display type to "by Table of Contents—Hits Only."
In addition, when you choose to view your search results by either TOC display type, your results will not be ranked by relevance. See also Displaying your search results by table of contents.
Click the checkbox if you want your search terms to be highlighted within your search results (i.e., Highlight search terms within search results). Search terms will be highlighted in both the results list and the actual document retrieved.
In the box displayed, type a number for the amount of days you want to keep on your Research History.
You can enter a maximum of 45 days.
Select options for your Research History from the drop-down list boxes available:
Start
at the Research History page so I can enter a comment
Start
by asking me if I want to enter a comment
Select No to both options to always start your research
at the My CCH tab.
Display information button icons — This checkbox is selected by default. With this option selected, information button icons will display next to libraries and publication titles that have an available summary and description of what's included. See also: Using the Information Button.
The information
button may not display next to all libraries and/or documents. It is only
displayed in products where Editors have specifically chosen to add summary
information. If you do not wish to display the Information Buttons at
all, click the checkbox to deselect this option.
In the box displayed, enter your name as you would like it to appear on the My CCH Tab.
In addition, the option to Use Secured Connection (SSL) Link Express URLs will also be on by default. (This is an option you can change in Preferences.) This option ensures that when you enter your Research NetWork product through a Link Express URL, you will be accessing the product with a secure connection that encrypts all information sent between the browser and the web server.
If you are an IP customer or are creating Link Express URLs for those who are, click the checkbox to Use IP Login with Link Express URLs. This ensures that the URLs are constructed correctly for IP access to Research NetWork.
You will not be able to use CCH Link
Express if you are using the Comments feature to generate usage reports.
If you want to use CCH Link Express, you will need to turn off the Comments
feature in Preferences by selecting No
to both options that are available to you.
