Specify fields on Add Question

Your library can specify names for the custom fields on the Add Question page, which your library uses when it adds a question manually.

You must be an institution administrator or ask administrator to do this.

To specify field names:

1. Click the Settings tab in the Ask a Librarian module.
2. Click the Question Fields link to go to Institution Add Question Fields.
3. Type a name for each of up to 10 fields in the boxes provided.
   Note: Keep the names as short as you can although each may have up to 50 characters and spaces.
4. Click Save Changes.
   QuestionPoint displays a confirming message.

Why do this?

The field names prompt anyone who adds a question manually to provide the needed information in each field. If your library includes custom fields on its question form for patrons, it may use the custom fields on Add Question to record equivalent information when a question is added manually.

Examples of field names

• Date by which response is needed
• Education Level
• Library Card Number
• Phone number
• School or college
• Zip/Postal Code
