    • Article Type: General
    • Product: Aleph
    • Product Version: 20

    Desired Outcome Goal:
    In Opac brief list Location column is displayed which holds the LOC field, built from Collection Code + Call Number + Suffix. Instead of displaying the collection code the collection name should be displayed.

    Procedure:
    In xxx01/tab/www_tab_short.eng, column 8 you have identifier "S" to indicate which configuration from edit_field.eng shall be used:
    ! 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13
    !-!-!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!-!!!!!!!!!!!!-!!-!!-!!!!-!-!-!!!!!!!!!!-!!-!!!!!-!!!!!-!!!!!-!!!!!-!!!!!
    7 L Location 00 00 0100 S ## LOC##

    In xxx01/tab/edit_field.eng you have the following setting for the LOC field:
    ! 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
    !-!-!!!!!-!-!-!!!!!!!!!!-!-!-!!!!!!!!!!-!!!!!!!!!!
    1 # LOC## S B -bd
    2 c A ^
    2 k A ^
    2 h A ^
    2 i A ^
    2 j A ^
    2 l A ^
    2 m A ^

    Subfield "c" (1st. entry) is the collection code. If you want to change to the full name you can replace "c" by "4" which is the collection name.

    Please restart the WEB server after configuration change.
