Extended Information or Extended Info displays for many different kinds of SirsiDynix Symphony records. These fields include additional information about the record in a set of entry fields, which can be configured by your library. Extended information usually displays in a separate tab. In some display summary tabs, an extended information flag contains a Yes if any Extended Information exists, or No if it does not.
When extended information is created, entries can be added or deleted using the Create First Row Helper, Insert Row Before Helper, Insert Row After Helper, and Delete Row Helper.
In selection list wizards, the Extended Information tab may display the following fields.
| • | Catalog # |
| • | Comment |
| • | Instructions |
| • | Note |
| • | Selector Note |
| • | Ship To |
| • | Shipping |
The following fields are defined for the Extended Info tab for Selection List.

As delivered, this field is printed on the purchase order.
This field may be used to specify shipping instructions that are printed on the purchase order notice. A message, the name and address of the library or user, and notice text other than the purchase order text may be included based on the library’s Shipping policies.
