Search "ID" Field ?

mbruffey

What is the name of the field that contains information such as "4GH2JTUD"? It can be searched from the simple search. Is it also searchable from a saved search? Thx, m

If you set the search to All Fields and Tags, the item should show up.

How do I save that? I want to search for several in a single search, repeatedly. m

I'm afraid that's not possible. What's the use case?

bwiernik

Yes, can you describe exactly what you are trying to do? I’m not understanding.

mbruffey

Well, I wanted to isolate 20-30 works (my library is huge) then search the notes attached to them from the quick search field. I know that I can assign a unique tag to each and make a saved search that will do the trick. (I suppose I could drag each into a common folder, too.) But I thought that it would be easier to use a preexisting ID for the same purpose. I have a number of works with similar titles, reprints, etc.

I'm not really understanding how a preexisting ID is any easier than just dragging the items you want to a collection and searching from there. That seems like exactly the way you would isolate 30 items and then search them from the quick search field.

It is because I am aggravated that many, many times when I drag an item into a folder it does not show up until I restart JurisM. It's highly annoying.

dstillman

You should report that bug, then.

"Invalid response from repository."

I mean report it to the developer of Juris-M.

Sorry, I am a little slow. I suppose I should cut and paste the message, email to the dev.
