Setting Up Bib and Authority Record Statuses

The status of a bib or authority record tells library staff how much cataloging the associated item has had. (For example, an item can have a status of “In Process,” “user fast added,” or “Cataloging Complete.”) You can edit or add new record statuses to Horizon. You can also set a default status for bib and authority records. Horizon uses the default status when a status is not specified on a new record.

View: bib_status or auth_status

In these fields, do the following:
