Example

The following example shows use of SMARTracker to request a current awareness search of query L2, with online delivery of results.

=> FILE REGISTRY => S FLUOROPOLYMER/PCT AND 557-75-5/CRN AND 2/NC L1 5 FLUOROPOLYMER/PCT AND 557-75-5/CRN AND 2/NC => FILE CAPLUS => S L1 AND PATENT/DT L2 18 L1 AND PATENT/DT => SMART *** SMARTracker INITIATED *** ENTER QUERY L# FOR SDI REQUEST OR (END):L2 ENTER UPDATE FIELD CODE (UP) OR ?:. ENTER SDI REQUEST NAME, (AA020/S), OR END:FLUOROPAT/S ENTER COST CENTER (NONE) OR NONE:. ENTER TITLE (NONE):. ENTER METHOD OF DELIVERY (OFFLINE), ONLINE, EMAIL, OR FAX:ONLINE ELIMINATE PREVIOUSLY SEEN ANSWERS WITH EACH SDI RUN? Y/(N):Y HIGHLIGHT HIT TERMS? (Y)/N:. ENTER SDI RUN FREQUENCY: (WEEKLY), BIWEEKLY, OR ?:. ENTER SDI EXPIRATION DATE 'YYYYMMDD' OR (NONE):19981231 QUERY L2 HAS BEEN SAVED AS SDI REQUEST 'FLUOROPAT/S'

Tips	If you are unsure how to answer an STN prompt, type a question mark (?) and STN provides explanation.

To answer this prompt	It is helpful to know that
ENTER METHOD OF DELIVERY (OFFLINE), ONLINE, EMAIL, OR FAX:	.INTERNET must be appended to an Internet address. Multiple addresses may be specified. Separate each address with a comma or space.
ELIMINATE PREVIOUSLY SEEN ANSWERS WITH EACH SDI RUN?	If you choose Y (Yes) you will not see duplicates of, or updates to, any records you have already retrieved with your SDI.

Managing SDIs

Existing SMARTrackers can be: Reviewed, using the DISPLAY command Deleted, using the DELETE command Activated (assigned an L-number), using the ACTIVATE command SMARTracker non-query parameters can be changed using the SDI EDIT command.

Editing SMARTracker Queries

The SDI EDIT command will only work to modify non-query parameters of a SMARTracker profile. To modify query parameters, follow these steps:

Step	Action
1 Optional	Type: DISPLAY SDI name/S FULL at an arrow prompt to review the SMARTracker profile
2	Enter the REGISTRY file
3	Re-create the structure or text query making the desired modifications
4	Enter CAplus (or CA, HCA, HCAplus)
5	Re-create the CAplus (or CA, HCA, HCAplus) query using the new REGISTRY L-number
6	Type: SMART
7	Answer the system prompts, giving the new SMARTracker profile the same name as before
