About guided entry for bibliographic records
Find an overview of guided entry for bibliographic records in Connexion client.
Overview
- Use guided entry for creating or editing fields 006, 541, or 583 as an alternative to entering or editing complete data in the record itself.
- Guided entry provides lists and text boxes to enter or change indicator values and subfield data and then places or replaces the field in the record.
- The templates contain valid default data (for creating the field) or data from the existing field (for editing the field).
- For existing 006, 541, and 583 fields, guided entry windows always display the data currently in the field.
- Guided entry is available for bibliographic records, constant data, and workforms for bibliographic records and constant data.
No minimum authorization level is required to use guided entry to add 006, 541, or 583 fields.
