    Searching Headings in logical base

    • Article Type: General
    • Product: Aleph
    • Product Version: 18 and up

    Description:

     


    We would like to limit the headings search during cataloging to a logical base that we created to filter out some records.
    We changed the scancode.dat from:
    LOCAL USM01 USM10 USM12 USM01
    to:
    LOCAL EDUCATION USM10 USM12 EDUCATION

    It works with Ctrl+F3 (Search field headings of Other base), but not with F3 (Search field headings of Current base).
    It is possible to make it work with F3?

     


    Resolution:


    Searching logical bases during Cataloging is possible only with Ctrl+F3.
    Since "current base" is always the base you're connected to, and it cannot be a logical base, only a library (e.g. USM01), all the logical bases are "other" bases, and should be searched with Ctrl+F3.

    Please set the "LOCAL" line of your scancode.dat as follows:
    LOCAL USM01 USM10 USM12 EDUCATION
