Horizon offers several advanced editing options that affect the way all MARC records display. Your system administrator can set up Horizon to take advantage of these features:
The new bib subfield control settings do not automatically affect all bib records. Once you have made the changes, if you add, modify, or overlay a record, Horizon applies the new settings. Previously existing records are modified if you open and resave them, or if you run BARelink. (For more information, see your system administrator.)
Your library may have determined which of these advanced editing options to implement when you installed a previous version of Horizon (6.0 or later). (For more information, see your system administrator.)
Additionally, you can edit individual MARC records, including the header. The MARC Editor lets you edit most parts of a MARC record as if you were using a word processor. You can edit information in tags, indicators, and subfields. You can also move, copy, and paste information. Horizon lets you change anything in the records. However, if you have activated Error Checking and create an invalid tag, subfield code, or indicator, or enter invalid information in a fixed field, Horizon marks the invalid information as an error. (For more information, see Activating Error Checking in Records.)
You can go back to the previously saved record at any time while you are editing by closing the record without saving it. You can also use Undo ( ) and Redo (
) to move sequentially through any changes made since the last time you saved the record. If your system administrator has set it up, you can check the spelling in specific subfields of a record. You can see how the record will look before you save it by reformatting it. However, once you save a record, you must re‑edit the record to reverse any changes.
