 +==== Full Text Finder ==== 
 +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 FTF) can have a way to be requested via ILL. Patrons will be able to click the FTF button and submit an ILL request using the HLM link as opposed to the ILL CustomLink. The 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 record. This change was made in August 2022 based on feedback from the science librarians.
  
 ==== Profiles ==== ==== Profiles ====
-We have several profiles for ehost databases. The most important is "​EBSCOhost Web (ehost) - ehost" which covers all our EBSCOhost databases. There are other profiles which are named for individual databases but sometimes contain many more than that one resource. A cleanup was performed in Spring 2020 to remove deprecated profiles. Those that remain are in use in the Database A-Z+Many profiles exist in the Main User Group. ​We have several profiles for ehost databases.

-==== SFX Linking ==== +The other three Groups have varying types of profiles. It 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 time, all profiles except ​for JGM1019 should be deleted, and new profiles should be created ​to reflect ​all live profiles.
-The main method ​of linking after native linking ​is through the SFX UMLinksThe 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 Only) UMAAH) for SFX linking through GeoRef. **Bob has stated ​that he sees no need for this CL to exist. Apparently it only searches GeoRefbut it doesn'​t display because of the rankings in ehost and the main SFX CL is working fine. ** +
- +
-These CLs cascade down to all EBSCOhost databases, regardless of if they have a specific profile. For instance, CINAHL has a profile with no CustomLinks but still uses SFX linking. These CLs are set to "​Always Show," with the secondary setting to suppress the CL based on the "Hide if Full Text" toggle. The local collection "EDRS Exclude (umaah.edex)"​ is selected, but 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.**+
  
 +==== 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.
