scanning from multiple databases

Post by Gerben »

I find it increasingly difficult to manage my 7000+ database (too many groups and subgroups to maintain a good overview, especially on a 13" Macbook) and started to break it up in smaller topical databases. This is of course perfectly workable except for the moment when you want to do a scan and a document contains citations from two databases.

I know it is not possible at the moment to perform a scan using more than one db. My question would be if this is under consideration for future updates or could be considered? And I am curious how other users deal with this scenario also?

Best,
Gerben

Hi,

No, that's not under consideration. You can maintain separate databases if you like for daily use, then merge them specifically for scanning.
