Create a Record Set from All Find Tool Results

You can immediately export bibliographic, item, authority, or patron records listed in the Find Tool search results to a new record set.

To create a record set from the Find Tool:

  1. Click FIND.
  2. Click, or click to open the Options menu and select Record Set Options.

The Record Set Options dialog box appears.

  1. Select the Send Results to a New Record Set check box.
  2. Type a name for the record set in the Name box.
  3. To change the record set owner, select it from the Owner drop-down list box.
  1. To change the default setting for the number of records that cause the large record set warning message to appear, type a different number in the Warning Size Threshold box.

Note:
The default threshold is set in the Polaris Administration Staff Client profile, Find Tool/record-set-to-record-set creation: Record set size warning threshold. If the Warning Size Threshold is set to 10001 or above, the warning message does not appear because only 10000 records are returned in the results.

  1. Click APPLY.

The Record Set Options dialog box closes, and the Find Tool appears with the record set icon outlined in green indicating the search results will be sent to the record set.

Note:
If you change the record type in the Find Tool after naming the record set in the Record Set Options dialog box, the record set is not created.

  1. Enter the search criteria for the cataloging records you want to add to the record set.

Note:
To send the records to the record set without displaying them in the Find Tool results list, select the Count Only check box.

  1. Click .
  2. If the Large Record Set dialog box appears, click CREATE to continue creating the record set.

The message Record set created successfully appears, and a dialog box displays the name of the new record set and the number of records in it.

  1. Click YES to open the record set.

The record set is created and opens in the appropriate workform. The record set name you entered is appended with the date and time in the following format: Name_20170517134550
