Tip:
You can set the All Branches check box based on how the majority of the branches should be set. Then, you can change the setting for the few branches that are different from the majority.

  1. Do one of the following:

Note:
The Polaris database always appears in the Databases tab of the Find Tool even if it has not been made available to the workstation’s log-on branch. (Remote databases do not appear in the list if they are not available for the branch.) If the staff client user receives the message You do not have access to the Polaris database, be sure the branch is checked in the Database Availability table for the Polaris database.

  1. Select File | Save.

The database is added to the Search Databases policy table for each branch that was selected, and is available for Find Tool searches in the staff client.

Note:
At the branch level, you can open the Search Databases policy table for a specific branch and delete any database you do not want to display in the Find Tool for that branch.
