Global
Changes Aleph v.18
This function
can only be used for items attached to the same bib record. One possible
use is an item status change of all items linked to the same HOL record.
- This
work is done in the Items pane of the Cataloging module (see Item
Records - where they can be found for overview). In the Items
List,
highlight
one of the items belonging to the group of items you want to change
- In the
right-hand column of buttons, click on
The "Global
Changes" form will pop-up:
- In the
“Select by” portion of the form (left half), leave the holdings link
but delete all other entries. in the "Arrival Date" section enter:
1/1/1900 - this is the signal to the system to choose all items regardless
of their arrival date.
- In the
“Change to” portion of the form (right half), there are several options:
- Re-link
HOL: Tab to the “HOL Link” field in the right
side of the form. Enter the number of the HOL record you want
to re-link
to. (For holdings overview, link to “Holdings”).
- Change
item status: tab down to the “Item Status” field in the bottom
half of the form. Enter the item status code (or click on the black
arrow
next to the “Item Status” field and choose from the list of codes).
- Arrival
date: It is important to leave the date as 01/01/1900
(default entry) - if you change the arrival date, all the items
that you "selected"
in the left side (all the items attached to the holdings record
specified on the left side) will be changed to the arrival
date that you entered
on the right side.
- Click
on the “OK” button (top right corner of form) -- or hit enter on your
keyboard -- to save changes.
