Configuration
Contact Laura Beatham for more information on configuration the CaiaSoft side and to obtain a CaiasoftAPIUrl and APIKey that is necessary to configure the ILLiad addon. Addon settings are configured in the Manage Addons form. The following settings must be set for each instance of the addon:
- CaiasoftAPIUrl
- APIKey
- BarcodeMapping
There are also some custom queues that should be configured depending on the configuration of the addon. With the default settings, you'll want to create the following custom queues in the Customization Manager.
- Awaiting Offsite Request
- Awaiting Offsite Delivery
- Error Processing Request
Caiasoft will also require some additional data about your ILLiad configuration. You should generate a new API key in the ILLiad Web Platform Config table so that Caiasoft can update requests in ILLiad after the addon sends requests. The image below shows an example of the new WebPlatformConfig entry.
