How to Expand Summary Holding (866) field to Primo

Question

How is the Holding library 866 tag sent to Primo?

Answer

* In Aleph, if the Holdings 866 field physically exists in the Holdings record, the default setup provides it to OPAC via Primo (OvP).
* Expands (virtual fields) are NOT included.
* To also include the expanded summary holdings in the OvP result, add this line to the HOLDINGS library tab_expand table > HOL-LOC procedure:
HOL-LOC expand_doc_hol_86x
* See Primo result in attached screenshot

Additional Information

* In Primo Back Office, configure Advanced Configuration > All Mapping Tables > OPAC Via Primo Sub System > Holdings Record Configuration > loc.summary row > Content element to include the data to display

* The tab_expand file heading may say to only use it with expand_doc_hol_loc_1_a. That can be ignored.

* The Holdings record summary holdings field (866) can be expanded from Aleph as part of the Bib record or by using OvP.
* If OvP is available in the Primo environment, then the OvP method is recommended.
* If the goal is to include summary holdings information in the BIB record harvested for Primo and the holdings statement already displays correctly in the Web OPAC, then these 2 lines in the BIB library tab_expand should add the same information to the Bib record expand:
FULL expand_doc_bib_hol
FULL expand_doc_hol_86x
The first column, 'FULL' in this example must match the expand procedure used for Primo publishing in tab_publish.
The first line adds the necessary holdings information to the bibliographic library and the second line creates the virtual summary holdings field from that virtual holdings information.

* In Aleph, additional Holdings fields can be expanded, for example:
HOL-LOC expand_doc_hol_adm
HOL-LOC expand_doc_hld_stmt GET_Z30_BY=HOL
HOL-LOC expand_doc_hol_86x
HOL-LOC expand_doc_hol_852_disp
