IMu documentation, previously hosted elsewhere, has been moved to the EMu Help. Note that IMu has been superseded by the EMu restAPI and the IMu documentation provided here is intended for institutions that already have IMu installed.

The Axiell Sapphire documentation has been merged with the EMu Help, and will soon be updated to capture Sapphire's new features.

EMu 9.0 includes fixes for a number of issues and several new features, notably a new Standards module.

Updated.

EMu 8.0 includes fixes for a number of issues and several new features, notably a redesigned Bibliography module.

Details about a new indexing method that allows use of Apache Solr for searching rather than the default Texpress based indexing.

Advantages of Solr indexing over Texpress indexing include:

• significantly lower disk usage;
• fast range-based searching for numeric, date, time, latitude and longitude values;
• fast wildcard (pattern) searching without the need for partial indexes;
• elimination of false matches (the number of matching records is always correct);
• no need for nightly / weekly maintenance to rebuild indexes;
• no configured limit on the number of records in a module; and
• no bit-slicing phase when a re-index is performed.

Details here.

EMu 6.5 includes fixes for a number of issues and several new features, notably the option to use OpenID Connect (OIDC) for authentication.

Amendment to the example VB code to ensure that 64bit DSNs are used when a user has a 64bit version of Office installed; otherwise 32bit DSNs are used.

• Performance improvements to Ditto All Fields

• Copy Registry entries to a new group / user

Guide to using and configuring the Axiell Sapphire add-on to EMu.

Sapphire is a browser-based add-on to the EMu Collections Management System. It is designed to provide access to your EMu database for the creation of new records and editing of existing records through custom-built forms. A Form is designed and constructed by authorized users around a workflow, capturing data, editing records, creating attachments, etc., with each Form providing access to a subset of fields.

The auto-orient property has been added to the Resolutions Registry entry.

Correction to details about the Date Output Registry entry and specification of BC dates.

Keyboard shortcuts provided for adding a module to (CTRL+Insert), and removing a module from (CTRL+Delete), the Favourites section of the Command Centre.

Registry entry to enable / disable the manual reordering of tabs in the Tabs pane of a module window.

Details updated.

Clarification: details on most tabs in the Schedules module, including the Schedule, Fields, Conditions, Exports and Security, are read-only.

Update to XML / XSL code examples. Previously, when creating a Page View and configuring an import using the Import Tool, encoding was specified as encoding="iso-8859-1"; with EMu's support for Unicode, encoding must now be specified as encoding="UTF-8".
