Configuring License Sections Order -You can define the order in which sections appear in the License Terms tab of the License Term Details page (see Adding a License). The names of the sections are predefined by Alma, so you cannot create new section names, but you can change the order in which they are displayed.
Managing License Terms  - You can configure, reorder, and add license terms that you want to appear in the different sections of the License Terms tab on the License Term Details page (see Managing Licenses and Amendments). To add License Terms, someone at the library must be certified before the Acquisitions Configuration can be opened up to the library.

Alma Searches

  • Electronic Collections and Electronic Portfolios search the COLLECTION fields. 
  • All Titles, Physical Titles and Electronic Titles search the BIB RECORD fields.
Ex Libris statement:  All of the "titles" search types search the bib record. The difference between "All titles" and "Electronic titles" (and "Physical titles") is that "All titles" searches all bib records (including those with electronic inventory, physical inventory, and no inventory at all). "Electronic titles" searches all bib records with electronic inventory.
