Ex Libris Response (20 Nov 2018):
- Ex Libris will not map the entire MARC record into Alma Analytics. Users are currently able to map up to 10 9XX tags into Analytics and up to 10 holdings tags.
- January 2019 Alma Release: Ex Libris has removed the limit to 9XX tags for both bib and holdings, see also, Analytics - Including local parameter fields (local fields) in Alma Analytics.pptx
- Institutions must open a case with Ex Libris Support to get tags mapped from Alma to Analytics
