AU Name Template

This field is used to create the name of each Archival Unit (AU) using the plugin used by the LOCKSS administrative UI.

  • In the LOCKSS plugin definer window, click on the NONE beside AU Name template. A new window as shown below would pop up.

  • Select 'String Literal' from the combo box and type in the corresponding name (here, Virginia Libraries) in the dialog box. Now, click OK in the dialog box and click on the 'Save' button.
  • Alternate condition: If you have a unique BASE_URL and want to display that as the name instead of any string literal, select 'BASE_URL' from the combo box and click on the 'Save' button. Similarly, if you want to display the BASE_URL followed by the parameter 'Volume Number' or 'Year', select the corresponding parameter from the combo box and click on the 'Save' button.

  • On clicking the Save button, the AU Name template field appears in the Plugin Definer window as shown below.
