Setting your Preferences on the General Tab

Use the General tab to determine the content you can view in the system, change your email address and password, and set default viewing preferences.

You can find your preferences by hovering over My B&T in the main menu, and then selecting My Preferences.



Information you set on the General tab will be used to automatically narrow search results when performing a basic search using the Product Search field, located in the top left of every page in the system. Preferences apply to your User ID only, and you can return to this page at any time to change your selections.

• Default Account/Settings - A list of your accounts, broken down by books, entertainment, and Axis 360. Pick your most-used account for each account type to ensure that the account is automatically defaulted to any newly created carts. You can always override the account selected at the Cart level, before ordering. 

• Product Type Filters - Exclude or include certain types of titles from Search Results. If you select eBooks, you must leave Exclude Non-Returnables to No. Title Source 360 considers eBooks to be non-returnable items, so if you decide to exclude these titles, eBooks will not display at all in your search results.
