Copying an Existing BTYPE Record

If you want to create a Home Service BTYPE record that is similar to an existing BTYPE record, you can copy the existing record and change it as necessary. (For example, you can copy the “Student” BTYPE record to create the “Home Service Student” BTYPE record.)

To copy an existing BTYPE record

1 Open the btype view in the Table Editor.

Horizon opens the List Borrower Circulation Types window.

2 Highlight the BTYPE you want to copy.
3 Choose File, Copy Record.

Horizon displays the Edit Borrower Circulation Types window:

4 Enter a short code or abbreviation for the Home Service BTYPE in the Borrower Type field. (For example, enter “HStu” for Home Service students.)

Important: You must complete this field. Otherwise, the borrower is not considered a Home Service borrower.

5 Enter a description of the Home Service BTYPE in the Description field. (For example, enter “Home Service Student” as a description of the HStu type.)
6 Complete or edit the other fields on this page as you want for Home Service borrowers. (For a description of these fields, see Creating a Home Service BTYPE Record.)
7 Save your changes.
