Set validation level for bibliographic record actions
Discover how to set a validation level for record actions in Connexion client.
To change the system validation level for record actions:
- Navigate to Tools > Options or press <Alt><T><O>.
- Click General > Validation Level Options.
- Under Bibliographic WorldCat records, in the Set Holdings list, select one of the following levels:
- Structure (default)
- Basic (checks for the validity of elements, length, repeatability, type of data or codes, etc.)
- Full (in addition to basic level check, checks for relationships between elements)
The options setting applies when you use the following commands:- Update Holdings
- Produce and Update Holdings
- Update Holdings (as part of Replace and Update Holdings)
The option setting does not apply when you validate manually using Edit > Validate. - In the Export list under Bibliographic WorldCat records and in the Export Authority Record list, select one of the following:
- None (default)
- Basic
- Completo
- Click OK to apply your settings or Cancel to cancel changes.
- On the General page, perform one of the following actions:
- Click OK to save changes you made
- Click Cancel to cancel changes.
- Click Apply to save changes and keep the Options window open.
Note:
- With the automatic validation level set to Structure or None, you do not have to stop and fix errors before completing the actions.
- When you keep the default validation level, you can always run full validation manually using Edit > Validate (or <Shift><F5>).
- If you set the automatic validation level to Basic or Full, you must correct errors to complete the actions.
- No automatic validation occurs when you use Delete Holdings.
- This option setting does not apply when you update holdings using Batch > Holdings by OCLC Number on bibliographic records. This process does no validation because records are not downloaded or accessible for you to do any needed corrections.
