[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] TPAC 2.3 Advanced Search Filters--any thoughts?

Hi Ben, Robert,

Thanks so much for the help....ummm...still a little lost with
understanding this however.  Just a few more questions if you have a
moment:

1.  Not a big deal, but for example if on the database table, can that be
done on a per library basis?  This is just one particular library that
wants things changed.

2.  On the Marc Coded Value Maps, I currently have zero entries.  I tried
to create a new map, but not quite sure of the individual map entries and
what they all mean...for example, SVF Attribute?  Also my code and value
fields are totally blank...does anyone know what values I can choose from
these?

Ultimately, I'm not trying to be a bother, but just still trying to figure
out things.  Am I overlooking something in the documentation somewhere that
has this outlined?

Thanks again,

Tony
