Views control the display of search results in staff searching. For each PAC flavor, you specify standard views for bibliographic and item displays, such as the Titles List window, Bibliographic Detail window, Copies window, and Request window. Consequently, you need to specify additional views only for search options that are not included in the standard list, such as subject keyword, series keyword, and call number. Views may be controlled by a MARC map. (For more information about views and MARC maps, see MARC Maps.)
You can control which view each search displays by entering the name of the view in the Lister Search Lists window when you create or edit search options. (For example, you might enter “closauth_subject” as the view for a subject keyword search.)
You can tell that the closauth_subject index is for a subject keyword search from two clues. First, the name includes “clos,” which stands for a “closed” or finite list, and all keyword searches yield closed lists. The second clue is that if you open the Edit Horizon Index Definitions for the closauth_subject index, you will see the Index Type “keyword” selected.
After you create one or more views, you can assign them to search options. (For instructions on creating views, see Changing the Display of Columns or Fields in List and Edit Windows. For a list of views and the windows each view controls, see Horizon Views.)
