Instead of tags, fields, and subfields, catalogers who are creating or editing non-MARC records work only with fields—title, author, publication, and so forth. Horizon links those non-MARC fields to MARC tags “behind the scenes.” (For example, a title field on a non-MARC record would be linked to a 260 bib tag. An author field would be linked to a 100 bib tag.) This linking is referred to as “mapping.”
You need to specify which non-MARC fields are the equivalent of MARC fields. You need to do this for all bib-based non-MARC elements you plan to use in your non-MARC records, and for each type of authority-based non-MARC element (author, series, and subject). Horizon uses this setup to store and retrieve the records, as well as for indexing and display purposes in PAC.
You may not be able to configure some authority-controlled non-MARC elements, groups, and workforms with all the desired subfields. You may have to enter all the information in a single subfield.
You must do this task for all bib-based and authority-based non-MARC elements that you want to use in non-MARC records.
