Fall 2017 PastPerfect Online Training

Topics will include:

• Selecting records and fields to share online
• How to setup Advanced Search categories
• Creating Help Text for web visitors that is specific to your collection
• Accessing and interpreting statistics about searches performed on your site
• Making basic site design changes such as uploading a new banner, updating footer text, and renaming buttons

We've recently added the ability to change the text displayed below each catalog record in your search results. The first two fields you share online always act as the link to the full catalog record. In the past, a short piece of text highlighting the word or phrase you searched for would appear below these first two fields. This highlighted text option is still available along with two new options: Blank and Third Field.

Follow the steps below to update the search results text on your site.

1. Sign into http://admin.pastperfectonline.com/.
2. Select the Site tab.
3. Find the dropdown menu for "Search Results Text".
4. Select the option you want to use for your site (Highlighted Word, Third Field, or Blank).
5. Once you have made your changes, click the Update Museum button at the top or bottom of your page to save the changes.
6. Click the Open Web site link at the top of your page to open your website and perform a search to see your changes.
