Cuando se reformatea manualmente un registro de datos constantes bibliográficos, se indica al sistema que restablezca automáticamente los campos variables en el orden numérico correcto y corrija los errores menores.

  1. In the left navigation, click Toolbox. The Constant Data tab > Bibliographic constant data records screen opens by default.
  2. Search for a constant data record or click a Constant Data Record Name. The constant data editor opens in the tab.
  3. Select Reformat from the Record drop-down menu. A confirmation message appears which states that the constant data record has been reformated.

Errores corregidos

When you manually reformat a Bibliographic record, the system makes these minor corrections:

  • Converts "pipe" character ( | ) in URLs is automatically to code %7C, because the pipe character is not part of the set of ALA diacritics and special characters that are valid in the client.
  • Changes subfield codes in uppercase to lowercase.
  • Changes fixed field values in the wrong case (uppercase versus lowercase) to the correct case.
  • Deletes leading blanks or blanks between values in fixed field elements. Trailing blanks remain.
