FAQs: Creating a New Browse Selection for a Single Entry
To create a new browse selection in SirsiDynix Symphony, first ask SirsiDynix Customer Support to make internal configuration changes to create a new browse index. SirsiDynix Customer Support will notify you of the new index name; in this example, it will be called LOCALSUB.
You will then need to add a browse index variation to the entry to be browsed in all appropriate formats. In this example, the 653 entry will be used.

The previous procedure will add a new browse index variation for the 653 entry which points to the new browse index, LOCALSUB, in the MARC format. Repeat this procedure for other formats as needed.
Changes to browse index variations will only affect records indexed after you make changes. To implement these changes in records already browse indexed, run the Rebuild Headings report followed by the Rebuild Text Database report to re-index all your bibliographic records. Searching for bibliographic records will be disrupted while this report runs.
