Subjects & Names Tree Help - Text Version
Help using the Subjects and Names Keyword Tree views :
The tree views show all of the keywords that have been attached to records. You may have seen these at the bottom of a record i.e. ‘Related Subjects’ and ‘Related Names’.
Keywords help you to track down all records that are related to a particular subject. For example if you were interested in ‘Thornliebank Industrial estate’ the you would find this located underneath the subject ‘Industry’.
Selecting ‘Thornliebank Industrial Estate’ and hitting the ‘submit’ button will return all records that have this keyword attached.
There are 2 different working versions of the Tree views, one for JavaScript users and one for non JavaScript users.
This is the accessible version and will be used by default if JavaScript is not enabled or if a user choooses to do so.
The initial view presented will be the top level of the navigation list. If there are other subjects belonging to this category, the subject will be hyperlinked.
Click on the subject to explore the subjects. You will then be presented with the underlying subjects of the parent subject. Again, if they are hyperlinked, then you can explore further.
To perform a search on based on any of the subjects, simply select the check box next to the subject. You can select multiple subjects on the same page.
Once you are happy with the selected subjects, choose ‘Confirm’ at the bottom of the page to submit your search criteria.
If you have JavaScript enabled, then you will be re-directed to this page.
