MORE WAYS TO TARGET THE RECORDS SEARCHED Range of records Review file Index range Advanced search
INDEX RANGE For example: Range of barcode numbers to target a particular branch Fewer records examined, so file created more quickly and fewer system resources used
ADVANCED SEARCH For example: Find misspelled words Can find data not easily found via Boolean criteria
Attached Record Hopping • Using a review file of bibs as the range, can create lists of one attached record type based on data from a different attached record type • For example: You want to know what items have no price even though there are order records with prices
First, create a review file of BIBS, based on attached record data
Second, create another review file, storing the other attached record type, using the first review file as the range input
Limit by Scope • Database Maintenance Options - Create BOOLEAN lists: scope during range • N: Retrieve all records in the database, regardless of their scope. • Y: Restrict the retrieved records to those within the current login's scope. • A: Offer a checkbox allowing the user to select a scoped or non-scoped results set. • Must be using a scoped login

Admin Settings: Create Lists • Options for Create Lists Searching • Don’t wait for searches to complete (default) • Wait for searches to complete • Prompt to wait for searches to complete (if no licenses available) • Use when user licenses are scarce. Prevents user from using multiple licenses by running a list and doing other work.
Improvements Planned for Release 2003 • User interface improvements • Navigation around dialogs • Consistency in dialogs • Focus issues • Saved searches for all record types • Printing without truncation • Validation of input for Item Type, Patron Type, etc.
Thank you! Claudia Conrad Product Manager, Cataloging
