Special Collections

Collections are created in  ProductBuilder on Silverchair. These instructions are modified from the User Guide on the Silverchair site (https://www.silverchair.com/user-guides/productbuilder/).  (images to come)

CREATE A COLLECTION PRODUCT

EDIT PRODUCT NAME

The product name will also appear on the collection page and in the index as the title, and will also determine the collection URL.

The Product Name field can be changed at any time depending on the publisher needs. Please note that editing the product name will change the URL of the collection, which may impact user ability to access the collections at a later date if the the collection URL has been sent out in publisher communications.

EDIT ACTIVE DATE

By default, the Active Date is set to the current day when creating a new product. When a rule is active, the content will be included in the collection on the front end site.

EDIT INACTIVE DATE

When a rule is inactive, the content defined in the product rule will not be included in the collection on the front end site.

IS FREE

By default, the “Is Free” checkbox is not checked when creating a Collection.  However, this checkbox can be checked to make the Collection free.  By checking “Is Free” all content defined in the Product Rule will be free to all users.

MEMBERSHIP CODE (RUP does not use this)

When a membership code is set for a product, all content defined in the product is available to the users who have that membership.  There is no subscription needed as the validation of the membership for the user is handled via a client or publisher API.

Please note that this feature is not used by most publishers and requires a customization to the publisher site. If you are interested in a customization to use this feature, please reach out to your DPD.

COLLECTION TYPE (RUP only uses "Special Collection"

To change the collection type or add a new collection type, use the Collection Type selector on the product page.

When a piece of content belongs to a collection, and the publisher site is configured to display collection labels on content pages, the collection type displays as a label on the content page, followed by the collection name, and the collection name links to the containing collection page.

Some publishers may desire the ability to group collections onto unique Collection Browse pages based on the collection type. If you are interested in this feature, it can be done as a customization. Please reach out to your CSx team for more information.

IS COLLECTION

By default, the “Is Collection” checkbox is checked when creating an Collection product. However, this checkbox can be unchecked to make the Collection product into an Entitlement product.

See ProductBuilder – Entitlement Products if you want to continue with the product as an Entitlement product.

FEATURED COLLECTION

By default, the “Featured Collection” checkbox is unchecked when creating an Collection product. RUP only has 2 active for each Journal at any time. As a rule, Check Featured Collection during the run of the carousel, and then uncheck the older of the currently Featured collection.  

When this checkbox is checked, the collection is considered a “featured collection”. Featured collections will show up on the collections browse page under a “Featured Collections” heading at the top of the page, and other collections will be populated under an “All collections” heading. Featured collections will inherit the sorting of the page (alphabetically or by date).

COLLECTION URL

Product pages for collections display the front-end URL for that collection. This feature makes it easy to directly link to and share products that have a front-end URL, even before the collection exists online. Before sharing this URL make sure you add the Journal it is for between "rupress.org/" and "collection/" so it will link to the correct journal and not the the umbrella collection page (which is not visible to the public).
So, this URL would be changed to "https://rupress.org/jem/collection/21424/JEM-Mucosal-Immunology-2022"    

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Descriptions must be encoded in HTML in order to display formatting on the frontend (paragraph breaks, italics, bold, symbols, etc…).

Replace the default text with the desired description, formatted in HTML, example below…

<p>Every year, <em>Silverchair</em> hosts Silverchair Forum and Platform Strategies <a href=”https://www.silverchair.com/events/”>Silverchair Events</a>.</p>

IS REDEEMABLE

This option allows users to redeem a subscription via the front end site. This feature is not meant to be used to create an entitlement for each user; multiple users can have this same product. RUP does not use this featurd. Do not check this box! 

Now you will CREATE/EDIT PRODUCT RULE

Set the product rule Solr query to select a content set for the product.

See ProductBuilder – Create and Update Product Rules for more information about product rules.

CREATE AND EDIT PRODUCT RULE

The rule defined here will determine the content included in the product.  The text box can be resized as needed, depending on how long the rule is.

Example rule:

Doi: ("10.1083/jcb.2023010166" OR "10.1083/jcb.20230202113")
