    Administration and Infrastructure - July 2018 Enhancements

    • Searching for email addresses is no longer case-sensitive. Email addresses are still saved exactly as entered (in upper, lower, or mixed case).
    • You can now use the match type Contains exact phrase starting with when searching with the index Dewey decimal class number, Other System Number, or Other Classification Number. The search string must be at least three characters. This change will take effect after the full indexing in July.
    • In the persistent search, all recent searches appear when All Titles is selected as your search type; otherwise, only recent searches for the selected type appear. This feature is not available for non-repository searches (PO lines, funds, and so forth). The search runs immediately. When no recent searches appear, you may be able to select a previous search string using your browser history.

    • For planning purposes, there is a known issue that any role with a limited scope (by library assignment) can create and edit item information for non-scoped libraries using Quick Cataloging (Resources > Create Inventory > Add Physical Item > Item Information section > Location drop-down list) or the Physical Item Editor (General tab > Location Information section > Permanent location and General tab > Temporary Location Information section > Temporary location). This will be fixed in the August 2018 release, at which point roles with a limited scope by library will no longer be able to edit item information for non-scoped libraries. When this happens, user access to other libraries when creating and editing information with Quick Cataloging and the Physical Item Editor will change. Depending on your use of these roles, you may need to modify the library assignments configured for user roles.
