-==== Profiles ​==== +==== Full Text Finder ​==== 
-We have several profiles ​for ehost databasesThe most important ​is "​EBSCOhost Web (ehost- ehost" which covers all our EBSCOhost databasesThere are other profiles which are named for individual databases but sometimes contain many more than that one resource. "​CINAHL ​and CINAHL Complete (cinplus) - ehost) has almost every ehost database turned on, despite ​the fact that we don't actually use the profile and CINAHL is managed in ehost**Bob has said that this does not make sense to continue, although if we wanted to do discipline specific ​profiles ​ala Kat then it would. However, they are not being maintained and no one is using them** //Business Search, Cab Abstracts, Inspec Plus, MLA International,​ Business Book, and PsycInfo are getting hits, but not substantiallyUnsure where these URLs are actually being used...See EBSCO_DatabaseUsageReport ​from Oct. 2019 in the EDS Directory on DRMS//+A separate version of the Full Text Finder customlink exists ​for the EBSCOHost resources[UMAAH SERVICE] FTF - EHOST Full Text Finder ​is configured to show Always and does not use the local collection backed by HLM as a limiter. This is so records with no full text (and with no corresponding subscription accessible via FTFcan have a way to be requested via ILLPatrons will be able to click the FTF button ​and submit an ILL request using the HLM link as opposed to the ILL CustomLinkThe ILL CustomLink should ​not be used in EHOST because the EHOST profiles ​have no way of setting only 1 link to show - so ILL and FTF links will appear together on the same recordThis change was made in August 2022 based on feedback ​from the science librarians.
  
-==== SFX Linking ​==== +==== Profiles ​==== 
-The main method of linking after native linking is through ​the SFX UMLinks. The CustomLink "SFX Link Resolver (Main User Group) EHOST" ​is attached to the "​EBSCOhost Web (ehost) - ehost" ​profile ​in the AdminIt is joined by a specific CustomLink ​(SFX Link Resolver (GeoRef OnlyUMAAH) for SFX linking through GeoRef. **Bob has stated that he sees no need for this CL to existApparently ​it only searches GeoRef, but it doesn'​t display because of the rankings in ehost and the main SFX CL is working fine. **+Many profiles exist in the Main User Group. We have several profiles for ehost databases. The most important ​is "​EBSCOhost Web (ehost) - ehost" ​which covers all our EBSCOhost databases. A cleanup was performed in Spring 2020 to remove deprecated profiles. Those that remain are in use in the Database A-ZAll profiles ​(in all siteswere migrated to HTTPs as of May 2020Settings can be reviewed in the Auth. menu under HTTPS. 
 +  ​EDS API, EIT: Webservice, and Z39.50 Client perform similar file transfer functions. 
 +  ​Search ​for Images remainsCollab. with RS to see if it is necessary. 
 +  ​New profiles should be created for FTF & PFUI once we go live. 
 +  ​Unclear if Flipster Mobile App is being used or if patrons are directed to Flipster but in a browser. 
 +  * ConsumerReports.org is non-configurable
  
-These CLs cascade down to all EBSCOhost databases, regardless ​of if they have a specific profileFor instance, CINAHL has a profile with no CustomLinks but still uses SFX linkingThese CLs are set to "​Always Show," with the secondary setting to suppress the CL based on the "Hide if Full Text" toggleThe local collection "EDRS Exclude (umaah.edex)"​ is selectedbut is being ignored since the CL is set to always show if there is no other full text. **Bob is unsure why the local collection would have ever been selected.**+The other three Groups have varying types of profilesIt is unclear what Remote was created forUMAAH FTF Test should be removed after FTF and PFUI Go-Live and new test profiles should be created in TestAt that timeall profiles except for JGM1019 should be deleted, and new profiles should be created ​to reflect all live profiles.
  
 +==== Branding ====
 +  * The branding tab for the main and individual EHost profiles should match EDS wherever possible. We use the traditional rather than enhanced branding so some options are not configurable.
 +  * Advanced branding is handled through the [UMAAH] EHOST bottom branding document. It currently only includes the Favicon Icon but could be expanded to include more of the customizations we have made to EDS.
