Limit Horizon Search to Certain Branch(es)

Horizon - BEFORE search is run

Press F2 – New Search. Before running the search, click the Restrict button at the bottom of the search window. Select the branch (or branches) you want to limit by. You can select more than one at a time. Click OK and complete the search. Items at that particular branch will appear in black. All other items will be grayed out.

Horizon - AFTER search is run

This only works for browse search options (i.e. title browse, author browse, series browse, etc.) Run a browse search. On the menu bar click File – Restrict and select the branch (or branches) you want to limit by. Items at that particular branch will appear in black. All other items will be grayed out.

The Horizon screen clearly indicates the restriction in effect. The restriction will remain in effect until it is reset either through the menu (File – Restrict) or the search window (click Restrict – Reset or Clear – OK and run another search).

If you often restrict by the same group of branches throughout the day (i.e. Caruthers, Laton and Riverdale), select Disable rather than Clear or Reset to turn the restriction off. The next time you want to restrict by those same branches, select Enable. This saves you from having to choose those branches from the list all over again.
