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. This tab has extensive settings regarding terms, their order, and display in the discovery interface (after being linked from a resource record). FG advises local sites to complete as appropriate, with note that this is a likely area of harmonization.
