Config Form Tab	Section / Line Item	FG	Form Value (what to actually enter in the form)
Fulfillment		FULFILL	Up to local groups
Libraries	IP Match Criteria	PPC	Test Load Update: IP Match Criteria ties into Discovery functionality for scoping patrons' search results in Primo for electronic and physical items, and managing access to users (this can be done by building according to documentation). AEFG notes that access can be managed via the IP ranges given to content providers, as well as via the "Available For" functionality for Electronic Inventory. To provide the broadest possible settings for the Test Load, a recommended practice is to enter all of the institution's IP ranges at the Campus or institution level (the entire set of ranges can be entered for more than one row in the Campus section if needed). Further testing for resources that warrant restriction at this level can be done during the Test Load phase.
Printer		FULFILL	Up to local groups
Circ Desks		FULFILL	Up to local groups
Locations	Default Acquisitions Location?	Acq/ERM	Local settings as appropriate, consulting with FG member as needed. Per the Configuration Guide, this feeds into the creation of dropdown menus, but can be modified as needed in the order record, etc.

Item Policies		FULFILL	Up to local groups
Policies, TOU & Rules		FULFILL	Up to local groups
Acquisitions	“Acquire For” line 32 and “Served Libraries” line 52	Acq/ERM	Local settings as appropriate, consulting with FG member as needed.

Sites with centralized acquisitions may indicate appropriate acquiring library and “ALL.”

Licensing		Acq/ERM	Licensing Tab may not be on every site’s configuration form.

FG advises local sites to complete as appropriate, if present, with note that this is a likely area of harmonization during test load and possibly after go-live.
