    Problem Symptoms:
    When I search portfolios by "interface name", I get zero results or incomplete results or wrong results. Why is that?

    Cause:
    The Alma Simple Search searches by the interface name of the electronic collection, not the interface name of the electronic portfolio.

    Resolution:
    Instead of the Simple Search, use the Advanced Search and select "Interface name" from the "Electronic portfolio" column.

    Additional Information

    The "Interface name" in the Simple Search is equivalent to the "Interface name" in the "Electronic collection" column of the Advanced Search.
