SMART 2.4 SMART 3.2 SMART 2.4 SMART 3.2

CreatingCreating boxes and files in SMART 3.2 is very similar to 2.4. The information fields as well as some buttons have been moved.

The “Save & New,” “Save & View,” “Save &Close,” and “Close” buttons are no longer clicked on the top and bottom of the page. They are now located in the upper right hand corner. Like on the Home Page, the “Go” button has been retitled “Search.”

Date FieldsTo enter dates into the system, you can either use your keyboard or click on the calendar icon to the right of that field. A calendar will appear that will allow you to choose a date. While the calendar may appear convenient, most users will find it more efficient to continue to type in dates.

HoldsBoxes could be placed on hold in SMART 2.4 through the use of checkboxes. To apply a hold in SMART you must search for the hold first. The easiest way to do this is to search for all of the holds using the wildcard in the system “%” then select the one you want. Once a hold can be lifted it is very important to release the hold or contact records management if the system does not allow you to.

View PageWhen on the View Page for boxes, files, or microfilm the action buttons have moved from the left hand side to across the top.

Viewing Record SeriesYou may notice some new fields when viewing record series information. These fields are “Boxes for this Record Series,” “Microfilm for this Record Series,” “Files for this Record Series” and “Electronic Records for this Record Series.” These fields have been turned off for security reasons. Please disregard them.

DashboardThe improved dashboard, available from the Dashboard link in the top-level navigation makes it easy to find the boxes and files in your possession, requests, and change your preferences.

Barcode ScannersSMART 3.2 will want to install an ActiveX plugin on your computer. Installation of the plugin is only necessary if you will be using a tethered or portable scanner. Upon login, you will see a yellow bar across the top of your browser. Installing this ActiveX file will allow you to use your tethered scanner. You will know if the plugin has been installed correctly when you see the image below next to your cart.

The ActiveX plugin for portable scanners will appear once you click on the Utility link in the top navigation menu and then the Scanner Download link. You will then see the yellow bar across the top of your browser. Installing this ActiveX file will allow you to use your portable scanner. You will know if the plugin has been installed correctly when you see the image below on the Scanner Download page.
