IP Match Criteria

PPC

Can tie in to functionality with discovery per 7/30 Configuration call. Acq/ERM FG note (consulting w/ Discovery FG): Per the Configuration Guide, providing IP information for campus or library is not mandatory. Alma uses IP ranges to modify the display of patrons’ search results in Primo, and to assist in managing/restricting access to users. FG recommends leaving these fields blank for further exploration in the Vanguard.

Licensing Tab may not be on every Vanguard site’s configuration form.
