How to create a "My Account" Link in emails

...

1. Go to General Configuration > Configuration Menu > Other Settings
2. Find the email_my_account parameter and add the direct link to your log in page. If you are finding that your page is not linking directly to the log in page, make a one small edit and replace "search" or "login" with "account": https://sjsu-primo.hosted.exlibrisgroup.com/primo-explore/account?vid=[your school code]&sortby=rank&lang=en_US. For your convenience, I have included some parameters that you may have wondered needed may or may not need editing. 
   1. 
      

      8. Email contact: ex libris does not use this field anything. In fact, if you try to edit it, it will tell you it can't save it. 
      9. email_contact_us: You can put an email or link in here. We linked out to our Ask a Librarian page.
      10. email_deposit_contact: Ex Libris does not use this field. Do not customize.
      11. email_deposit_sender: Not in use
      12. email_my_account: this is what the My Account link in the footer will link out to. We linked to our OneSearch page. unfortunately, our page doesn't have a static url that goes directly to log in. You just have to know to log in via the link in the top right. Not sure if yours is different but that's how ours works.
