Managing Content in Pure

Visibility Settings in Pure

Definitions of visibility categories

• ‘Public - No restriction’: content could be viewed publicly
• ‘Campus - Restricted to specific IP range
• ‘Backend - Restricted to Pure users’: content visible to a small number of Pure users
• ‘Confidential - Restricted to associated users and editors’: the email addresses of those who can view your information will be displayed. This includes the contributors, editors (administrators) and Pure administrators in the library

Changing the visibility of a record

For most records the default setting is ‘Public - No restriction’. If for a particular record you wish to change this, open the record and scroll down to the ‘Visibility’ section. Choose the appropriate visibility category and remember to press ‘Save’.

Default visibility settings for research outputs

The default setting for research outputs depends on their status.

Outputs which are 'In preparation' or 'Submitted' have the default setting 'Backend - Restricted to Pure users'.

Outputs which are accepted, 'E-pub ahead of print' and 'Published' have the default setting 'Public - No restriction'. These records will be visible in Opus and on your departmental web page.

Visibility settings for impact records

If the potential impact of your research could be commercially sensitive, mark the record as ‘Confidential’.
