Destiny Take-away: Customize your top ten

Just spent a fab long weekend in Rome learning about the latest features and behind-the-scenes tricks of Follett's Destiny catalog. 

Here's the first of several take-aways I'll be posting. 

1) Customize your Top Ten list in Destiny Quest

The Problem: 
The Top Ten list in Destiny shows things like power cords, or the same titles over and over, or odd titles that don't seem to reflect your users.

The solution: 
Customize what shows on your Top Ten list.

How: 
Go to Back Office > Site Configuration > Top Ten titles.

Choose a call number range (BIO - BIO or a Dewey range or F - F) and then add a label. This will limit the titles counted in the Top Ten and give the list a heading!



You can also limit by patron type to show only student checkouts and by material type to show only books, or DVDs, or whatever you want. This would be a fun way to highlight parts of your collection that need a boost. 

Top Ten periodicals? Top Ten faculty checkouts? How do YOU imagine using this feature? Would love to hear your ideas.
