Using Subfield Quick Setup

If you want to set up or change only subfield information (including identifying the subfields in which you want Horizon to check the spelling), you can use Subfield Quick Setup.

To use Subfield Quick Setup

1 Start the Subfield Quick Setup process.

The default location of this process is the Cataloging\Cataloging Control Menu folder on the navigation bar.

Horizon opens the Subfield Quick Setup window.

2 In the Cat Type drop-down list, choose the cataloging type you want.
3 In the Tag drop-down list, choose the Tag you want.
4 Click in the Configuration group grid.

Horizon fills the grid in the Configuration group with information for the cataloging type and tag you chose:

5 Complete or update these fields as needed:

Field

Action

Subfield

Enter the letter or number of the subfield that you want to add or change.

Label

Enter a label for the subfield.

If you use a language other than US-English, a globe drop-down icon indicates that you may be able to choose a translation for this item’s label. The label displays in a labeled view of a record in the MARC Editor.

Repeatability

Use the drop-down list to enter the repeatability level you want to apply to this subfield in the tag you are working with.

You can choose one of these levels:

Indicator Controlled. The indicator specified by your library’s MARC standard determines the repeatability.
Non Repeatable. You can have only one instance of this subfield in the tag you are working with.
Unlimited Count. You can have as many instances of this subfield in this tag as you need.

Auto Add

If you want this subfield to display when the tag you are working with is added to a record, mark this box.

Default Value

If you marked the Auto Add box, enter the default value you want Horizon to enter automatically into this subfield.

Spell Check Action

Use the drop-down list to choose the dictionary you want the MARC Editor to use when you use the spell checker.

If you choose <NONE>, the spell checker will not check this subfield. (For more information, see Setting Up and Maintaining Spell Check.)

Display Spacer

If you want to change Horizon’s display spacer, enter the new one here.

As defined by the MARC standard, Horizon uses a double hyphen ( -- ) as its display spacer value.

6 If you want to keep working in Subfield Quick Setup, do these steps:
