    • Product: Alma

     

    Problem

    How do I import and create portfolios from 856 $u in the bibliographic (bib) records when the bibs have multiple portfolios that belong to different electronic collections?

    Solution

    1. Create local collections and a dummy local collection, go to Resources >  Create Inventory > Add Local Electronic Collection, see Adding a Local Electronic Collection in the Additional Information section for more details. 
       
    2. Create import profile to import bib records and create portfolios from 856$u and attach them to the dummy local collection by choosing Portfolio type: Part of an electronic collection, see Managing Import Profiles in the Additional Information section for more details.

    Note: If standalone option is selected, only one portfolio will be created from the first 856 $u.

    1. Use Electronic portfolios option to search for imported portfolios based on shared information in bib/portfolio records, for example, if the portfolios have a shared domain URL. Click Save Query to create sets.
       
    2. Move each set of portfolios into the appropriate local collection, see Moving Portfolios to a Different Electronic Collection in the Additional Information section for more details.
