Changing Library Group Settings

Library Group

Use Library Groups

If selected, displays library groups in the West km interface, in the WestlawNext interface, and on setup pages.

This setting is selected by default.

(For the change to take effect for any currently running West km sessions, the Web browser must be closed and reopened.)

Persist Library Groups

If selected, the library groups that a user has searched previously will be remembered when the user performs a new search. If not selected, all library groups are selected for new searches. (When an existing search is edited, library groups always persist from the original search.)

This setting is selected by default. This value is only used if the Use Library Groups setting is selected.

Do not display Litigation Library Groups on Transactions Tab

Do not display Transactions Library Groups on Litigation Tab

If Do not display Litigation Groups on Transaction Tab is selected, library groups are hidden from end users in West km for Transactions if no document collections within the library group are processed by the transactional analysis component. This setting is selected by default.

If Do not display Transactions Groups on Litigation Tab is selected, library groups are hidden from end users in West km for Litigation if all document collections within the library group are processed by the transactional analysis component. This setting is not selected by default.

If both options are selected, library groups are displayed or hidden as follows:

Unassigned Library Group Label

Text label used for documents that are in a collection without an assigned library group. This unassigned library group is only displayed on search pages if a collection exists that does not have a library group assigned to it.

The default value is Unassigned.

(For the change to take effect for any currently running West km sessions, the Web browser must be closed and reopened.)

Use Active Directory Groups to Hide/Show Library Groups

Select this option to limit access to library groups to assigned Active Directory groups. This setting is available only if Integrated Windows Authentication (IWA) is being used. If this option is selected, the table of Current Library Groups displays an Active Directory Groups column and provides the ability to add, and edit Active Directory Group assignments. To show all Active Directory Groups assigned to a library group, click Show Details.

• To provide Active Directory Groups with access to the library group, click Add, select one or more Active Directory Groups, and click Save.
• To edit the Active Directory Groups with access to the library group, click Edit, select or uncheck one or more Active Directory Groups, and click Save.

When this option is selected, administrators can see all library groups, regardless of the administrators associated Active Directory access.

• To apply the Active Directory group security to administrators, select the Apply Active Directory Security to Administrators option.

Current Library Groups

Allows you to add, rename, or delete library groups.

• To add a library group, click Add Library Group, type a library group name, and click OK.

• To rename an existing library group, click Rename next to the library group name, type a new name, and click OK.

• To delete an existing library group, click the red X next to the library group name.

Note: A library group cannot be deleted if it is being used by one or more document collections. In this situation, first edit those document collections so they use a different library group. To view the library groups currently in use, access the Indexing, Manage Collections page and check the Library Group column in the table.
