Saved Files Helper

When MARC records are saved to a file using the Save helper on the View screen, the file will be saved to the \Sirsi\Workflows\Z3950\Save folder in the home directory on your workstation, which is typically Documents and Settings, or a directory specified by the user with the SmartPort wizard Save Directory default property. In the Select Destination window or Search window, use the Saved Files helper to list the files that have been saved.

If your library uses both WorkFlows and SirsiDynix SymphonyWeb, the application you are currently using determines which files you can see in the Saved Files helper. If you are using WorkFlows, this list shows files saved on your workstation; if you are using SymphonyWeb, this list shows files saved on the SymphonyWeb server. Files you save using one application will not be visible from the other application.

In the Saved Files helper, the list of files displays under File Name. Select a file name in the list, and select one of the following helpers:

•

The View helper displays the contents of the selected file. The records may be captured and added to the database from this window.

•

The Copy helper duplicates the selected file and saves its contents to the specified destination file.

•

The Remove helper permanently deletes the selected file. You are prompted to confirm the file deletion before the file is removed.

•

The Print helper allows you to print the contents of the selected file. All records in the file will be sent to the printer specified as the default in your Windows print manager. This helper will only print text files.

•

The Import helper allows a file from any directory on the PC to be moved to the save directory. You will be prompted for the path and file name of the file to be imported as well as for whether the file contains MARC or text records so that the proper extension may be appended to the file name.

•

The Export helper allows a highlighted file to be moved from the save directory to another location on the PC. You will be prompted for the file’s new path and file name.

When saving records that have been captured via SmartPort to a file, the default directory the file is saved to is C:\Users\[login]\Sirsi\Workflows\Z3950\Save. Use the gadget to assign a new default directory for this purpose.
