Learn how interact with certain CapiraMobile features if OCLC Wise is your connected ILS.
Overview
Each ILS product offers different features with respect to APIs used by third parties like OCLC in order to get data. In addition, each library can often customize their ILS setup, which makes it difficult to have a one-size-fits-all guide for some features. For these reasons, OCLC is often unable to help configure this information directly and library staff will need to discuss available options and values with their ILS administrator and/or vendor.
Carousels
Carousels from Wise are not currently supported. Instead, you can change the action of a button to lead to the stardard screen Action – Website and link out a collection on your library’s website. Refer to Standard screens and Buttons for more information.
Enhanced metadata display fields
Some additional metadata fields are available to be enabled. These fields will display in the app's search results, not in an item's details. For more information, see Enhanced metadata display. The following additional fields can be enabled when using OCLC Wise:
- Edizione
- Serie
- ISBN(s)
- UPS/ISXN
Hold options
The features below are allowed by the ILS, but may vary depending on your library's implementation.
- Cancel a hold
- Modify hold pickup location
Search filters
Libraries can choose to configure any filters if supported by their ILS. It is not mandatory to use all filters or groups configured in your ILS, which allows each library to determine their ideal setup for patrons.
If no search filter is chosen by a user, or no options are displayed, the default is ALL.
- The default search material/format used if no option is provided or none is selected by a user is All Materials.
- The default search library/location used if no option is provided or none is selected by a user is All Libraries/Scopes.
- The default search index used if no option is provided or none is selected by a user is Keyword/Everything.
- The default sort options used if no option is provided or none is selected by a user is dependent on your ILS, but it is usually Relevancy.
- The default audience used if no option is provided or none is selected by a user is dependent on your ILS, but it is usually All Audiences.
- The default collection used if no option is provided or none is selected by a user is dependent on your ILS, but it is usually Everything.

These apply to libraries running OCLC WISE ILS of any version. To learn how to add a filter, see Search filters.
