[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] About Metarecord Searching for TPAC Group Formats and Editions

[Kathy Lussier]

Hi Rita,

We have a chart in the documentation with the stock icon definitions - 
http://docs.evergreen-ils.org/2.8/_marc_record_attributes.html#_search_and_icon_formats. 
They can be modified by following the instructions higher up on the page.


These definitions are very similar, though not an exact replica, of the 
search filters that are available on the basic search screen starting in 
release 2.6. However, the filters on the advanced search page continue 
to be separated into item type, bib form, etc. as was true for previous 
releases of Evergreen. We have a site that is using the new basic search 
filters on their advanced search page too because they find it to be 
more intuitive for users.

Also, those icons should be coming into play for standard searches as 
well as for group formats and editions searches.

I hope this helps!
Kathy
