Compact Browse Display

If the Compact Browse option is enabled on your Sierra Desktop Application, either through your Display tab or the Admin App, Sierra returns search results in a condensed format:

Facets

Sierra does not display the Phrase facet in the compact browse display. Otherwise, facets behave identically to the browse display.

Results

The Results pane displays search results. Result entries display in three columns: #, Description, and # of Entries.

When you print the search results from a compact browse list, Sierra prints only the groups you have expanded.

# (number)

The entry number for the group or group entry.

Description

The Description column contains the search result groups related to the specific phrase used as the search term. Click the + sign preceding each group entry or double-click anywhere within the entry to expand the group and view the associated record entries.

Record Entries

Record entries are preceded by a character. The system displays brief record data depending on record type, as follows:

Record Type Field Source

  Location Up to five Locations descriptions. If there are no assigned Locations variable-length fields, the system displays the value from the Location fixed-length field from the bibliographic record.

Note that if the Locations Served associated with your user login matches one (or more) of the bibliographic record’s Locations, those locations appear first in this display. Other locations are then listed in the order in which they appear in the Locations variable-length field in the bibliographic record.
