| The heart of MysticAIR revolves around the use of a cookie placed onto a trusted computer, containing a key encrypted with strong, military grade encryption. This key in isolation, even if it could be decrypted, is useless as it is just a reference to more important information stored in the central MysticAIR servers, and therefore poses no security risk. | The heart of MysticAIR revolves around the use of a cookie placed onto a trusted computer, containing a key encrypted with strong, military grade encryption.

| Workstation invitations are ideally issued for computers within the library, or elsewhere in the school / organisation. Essentially, issue Workstation Invitations only to computers that you trust, and where the functions presented are appropriate to the location - e.g. Self-issuing a book in the library, where the reader actually has possession of the book. | Workstation invitations are ideally issued for computers within the library, or elsewhere in the school / organisation.

| - | xxx | + | Once MysticAIR is turned on and an invitation is created, the reader (or staff member, if the invitation is for a trusted workstation) should be given the invite code. This is a four-part number with the only distinction between Reader and Workstation invitations is that one part of the invite will contain the characters 'WS'. |
| + | |||
| + | A report is available from the Mystic Report menu which can print these invitations off in bulk, in a similar way to the [Readers Barcodes] report. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===== Registering the computer ===== | ||
| + | |||
| + | Navigate to the Pergamon Mystic online library management system. Here you will see two means to login - the normal mechanism using the Username, Password and Library Code; but also a simple button marked [Login Using MysticAIR]. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Click this MysticAIR button. If the computer has not been used before, a registration dialog is displayed with a text box - simply type the invitation code into the text box and click [Register]. If you have multiple invitations, type one code at a time, clicking [Register] between each one until all invitations are successfully registered. When finished, click [Close] to leave the registration dialog. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===== Using MysticAIR ===== | ||
| + | |||
| + | Select the MysticAIR button again. This time, Mystic recognises that the computer is registered and displays the MysticAIR webpage. This is deliberately very simple - in fact, the initial display should only have a pull-out menu button displayed in the top-right hand corner. Click this to display the menu. | ||
| + | |||
| + | A typical MysticAIR menu will display the following reader options: | ||
| + | |||
| + | * [Anonymous] (only if a trusted workstation) | ||
| + | * One or more readers who are attached to the invitations | ||
| + | |||
| + | Choose one of the reader options to change who is the active reader. On initial login, the 1st reader in the list is always automatically selected. For a trusted workstation, this list will usually only be [Anonymous]. For a home computer, this list may only be a single name. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Additionally, the menu will also display: | ||
| + | |||
| + | * **Search** - the standard catalogue search function. | ||
| + | * **Issue & Return** - the standard Issue & Return function. | ||
| + | * **What is MysticAIR?** - a link to an information page for end-users. | ||
| + | * **Add another Invite** - a means to register additional invitations after the original registration dialog. | ||
| + | * **Logout** - to return to the main Mystic login web page. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Further menu options will be added after consultation with end-users regarding what will be useful on the MysticAIR system. | ||
