Creating Sets

You run jobs, norm rule changes, and indication rules on sets of records.

Logical Sets

  • Based on search criteria; dynamic (all electronic records with the keyword "ebrary", for example)
  • Created by using the Repository Search page (Resource Management > Search > Repository Search)
  • Saving a search query is another name for creating a logical set. A logical set is dynamic, recalculated each time it is accessed - in other words, the search is rerun and the results are the set. When you save a query (set), you are saving a set of search criteria that can be reused. Each time you run a query, the results may be different if the records have changed since the previous run. Note that you can turn logical sets into itemized sets.
  • Saving and Reusing Search Queries

Itemized Sets

  • Based on a finite list of identification numbers (a list of barcodes, for example)
  • Itemized sets are created on the Manage Sets page
  • Creating Itemized Sets
  • An itemized set is a fixed collection of items that may have been entered by hand, uploaded from a file, or the result of a previous search (but no longer associated with the query terms). Note that you can turn logical sets into itemized sets.

Example: create an itemized set from a list of barcodes

  • Create a file (Excel or .txt) of id numbers, one on each line
  • Make sure your file has a header - Barcodes for physical items in this case
  • Admin --> Manage Sets
Create your set
  • Add Set
  • Itemized
  • Give set a name and set the content type (important because it has to correlate with which type of job you're trying to run on something - more on that correlation at Running Manual Jobs on Defined Sets)
  • Browse to the Excel or Text file you created
  • Click Save to add the members from this file to this set
  • An email will be sent to you when the job has been run - it will also tell you if there were any errors adding members to the set
  • Go to your sets - Admin --> Manage Sets and find that set you created
  • Ellipses on the right  - lots of options for things to do with sets (filter them using indication rules, for example)
