Media list

This portlet provides a media basket containing titles collected by a user, with the following differences depending on if the user is signed in to Arena or not:

Not signed in: This temporary basket is only available during the current Arena session.
Signed in (as a guest or as an Arena user with username and password): This persistent basket is attached to the user account. New titles are added to the basket, when selected.

If a user logs in after first having added titles to a temporary basket, the titles are saved to the persistent basket.

User interface

Titles in the media basket are collected by clicking the Add to media basket button next to a title in the results list or the catalogue record.

The media basket is available from the tab My media in the default installation. Upon opening the media basket, the titles in the basket are displayed in a result list. The user may select one or more titles from the list (check box next to each item), and then choose one of the following actions from the toolbar:

Email the selected titles.
Print the selected titles. This displays a formatted list for printing, and opens a print window.
Download the selected titles. This displays an open file dialogue, in which the user may choose where to save the file.
Delete from the list.
Reserve the selected titles. This action will launch the reservation panel.

The toolbar also has paging facilities.
