Inmagic Choices Browser

Using the Inmagic Choices Browser while searching

To make searching the textbase easier, use the Inmagic Choices Browser to paste index entries into boxes on the Web query screen.

The Inmagic Choices Browser shows the Term or Word index for the field searched by the box. Entries in the Inmagic Choices Browser are actual indexed entries from the textbase for that field. If a box contains more than one field, you can select the field whose index you want to see from the Field drop-down list.

If a field in the search box has both a Term and Word index, you can specify which you want to view by selecting the Terms List or Words List option button.

To browse and paste index entries

1. If the query box you are searching contains more than one field, select the field whose index you want to see from the Field drop-down list.
    
2. If that field has both a Term and Word index, specify which you want to view by selecting the Terms List or Words List option button.
    
3. Scroll through the Choices List or type one or more characters in the Find box.
    
4. Select one or more entries from the list, then click the appropriate button:
    
   • Paste. Pastes the selected entry into the selected box on the query screen. If the box already contains content, the pasted entry appears after the existing content, preceded by a forward slash (/), which represents Boolean OR. If multiple entries are pasted at one time, a forward slash (/) is added between entries. Entries from the Term index are preceded by an equal sign and enclosed in quotation marks.
      
   • Replace All. Replaces any content in the selected box on the query screen with the selected entry.
      
   To select multiple entries, use Ctrl+click and/or Shift+click in the Choices List, then click Paste or Replace All, as appropriate.
    
5. Click Close to exit the Inmagic Choices Browser.

Using the Inmagic Choices Browser while editing or adding records

To help ensure accuracy when adding and editing records over the Web, use the Inmagic Choices Browser to paste validation list entries into boxes on an edit screen. If a field uses a thesaurus as a validation list, the list will include non-preferred terms.

Each box on an edit screen contains one field. Using the Inmagic Choices Browser to paste one or more entries in a box ensures that the information complies with the validation list set up for that field.

To browse and paste validation list entries

1. Scroll through the Choices List or type one or more characters in the Find box.
    
2. Select one or more items from the list, then click the appropriate button:
    
   • Paste. Pastes the selected entry into the selected box on the screen. If the box already contains information, the entry is added as a new entry.
      
   • Replace All. Replaces any content in the selected box on the edit screen with the selected entry.
      
   To select multiple entries, use Ctrl+click and/or Shift+click in the Choices List, then click Paste or Replace All, as appropriate.
