If a UIC hierarchy search returns more than 1,000 results, what action is required?

• A. Select a lower level UIC
• B. Select a higher level UIC
• C. Start over with a different hierarchy
• D. Limit the results to 500

Answer: (A)

When a UIC hierarchy search returns more than 1,000 results, you narrow the scope by selecting a lower level UIC. The hierarchy is arranged from broad to specific, so drilling down to a more detailed unit reduces the number of matches to a manageable size and helps you pinpoint the exact unit you need. Choosing a higher level would only widen the results, making the list even longer. Starting over with a different hierarchy isn’t necessary, and simply capping results isn’t how this search is intended to be used.
