Note 1: On workstations running the WorkFlows staff client, SirsiDynix recommends setting the virtual memory association to equal twice the amount of physical memory, at minimum. Please work with your PC administrator to check the virtual memory setting on each workstation running the Symphony staff Client, and increase the memory if necessary.

Note 2: On workstations running the WorkFlows staff client that will simultaneously run additional applications other than a browser, SirsiDynix strongly suggests that the workstation be configured with at least 1GB of RAM.

Note 3: Macintosh users should run OS X.

Note 4: WorkFlows staff client will not affect OPAC stations, which will continue to require a browser only.

(A link to a PDF of these directions is available on the Training page.)

SirsiDynix Symphony Searching Techniques

Exact Search

The Exact search option displays a single record of the search index you used. This option is best for specific number searches. If the exact ID is not in the database when searching a number index, a message displays that the information was not found. The Exact search option is best used on these search indexes:

• Item ID
• Title Control Number
• User ID

When you use the Exact Search option on other indexes it behaves differently. If the exact heading is found and there is only one matching catalog record, that record displays. If the exact heading is found and there is more than one matching catalog record, the hit list displays. If the exact heading is not found, a browse list of neighboring headings displays. The Exact search behaves this way when using these search indexes:

• Author
• General (Retrieves only from the subject index)
• Periodical Title (Retrieves only from the periodical index)
• Series
• Subject
• Title
