Setting Up Call Number Prefixes

The Call No. Prefixes configuration allows you to configure the prefixes Horizon can use to generate call numbers, whether or not the number should include a separator, and which number Horizon should start with to construct the numbers.

Call number prefix functionality is feature-activated; if you want to use the Call Number Prefixes feature on your library system, contact SirsiDynix Customer Support.

1 Open the newcallkey (Call No. Prefixes) view in the Table Editor.
2 Choose the configuration that you want to change, or create a new configuration.
