    Note:  This is not an actual record.  It's a template record to be used in creating other Aleph knowledge articles.

    Insert description here.

    Resolution

    With Aleph instruments it's not possible to add field 856 as an URL link to the citation display. A linkable field is only possible in the full format. The only solution to fill this request would be an own Java script but that's not provided by Ex Libris.

     

    In general the citation format is defined as following (example from our standard environment xxx01/tab/.): 

    ./pc_tab_sear.eng 
    FO USM01 L Citation 040 

    ./edit_doc.eng 
    040 ## 513 

    ./edit_paragraph.eng
