RDA Toolkit access in RIMMF

All elements used in RIMMF contain direct links to the corresponding documentation in the RDA Toolkit.

To tell RIMMF how to access the toolkit, follow these steps:

Select 'Tools|Setup|Set toolkit access method' from the main menu:

This will open the following form:

If your access to the RDA Toolkit is through an institutional subscription, select the top option. In this case, no credentials are needed to access the RDA Toolkit.

If your access to the RDA Toolkit is through a self-purchased subscription, or if you are accessing the Toolkit 'on the road' away from your usual location, then you should select the second option, and enter your toolkit username and password in the box below. RIMMF will supply your credentials whenever it makes a request to the RDA Toolkit.

In either case, if you are using the built-in browser to access the RDA Toolkit, RIMMF will log out of the toolkit whenever you close the program, to avoid tying up connections that are not in use.
