  • Note: the index # need to be adjusted to your browse stanza in the _dspace.cfg_ file. Also, you will need to update your Messages.properties file.
• Combine more than one metadata field into a browse.You may have other title fields used in your repository. You may only want one or two of them added, not all title fields. And/or you may want your series to file in there.
  • webui.browse.index.3 = title:metadata:dc.title,dc:title.uniform,dc:relation.ispartofseries:title:full
