This feature affects only newly created bib records, not imported records. You can use the 949 tag to import call numbers. (For more information, see “Setting Up Item Creation Parameters” in the “Setting Up Import Source Parameters” section of the Cataloging Setup Guide.)
Horizon uses the call number information from the bib record to automatically fill a new item record call number field unless a copy record exists. If a copy record exists, Horizon uses the call number information from the copy record to which the item record is attached. If you change the copy record call number before you create a new item record, the item record uses the changed copy record’s call number, not the bib record call number.
Your system administrator can also set up a default call number that automatically displays in every item record that you create. This can help if you want to create a large number of records that use the same call number. This default call number overrides any automatic fill settings. (For more information, see “Defining a Default Value for a Call Number” in the “Setting Up Call Numbers” section of the Cataloging Setup Guide.)
When you create new item records by copying an existing item record, Horizon copies all the information from the item record that you copy, including the call number. (For more information, see Creating Multiple Item Records.)
