Description

Locally-defined field indicators in MARC profile extension.xml display in Alma as “Locally Defined”
The description for the indicators listed above in the Metadata Configuration List just says "Locally Defined" (e.g. 595):
 

<data_field_configuration repeatable="true" mandatory="false" tag="595" xmlns="http://com/exlibris/repository/mdprofile/xmlbeans" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<description>Local Contents Info</description>
<first_indicator_configuration>
<values>
<value code="0">Contents</value>
<value code="1">Incomplete Contents</value>
<value code="2">Partial Contents</value>
<value code="8">No display generated</value>
</values>
</first_indicator_configuration>
<second_indicator_configuration>
<values>
<value code="#">Basic</value>
<value code="0">Enhanced</value>
</values>
</second_indicator_configuration>
<sub_fields_list>
<sub_field_configuration code="a" mandatory="true" repeatable="false">
<description>Formatted Contents Note</description>
</sub_field_configuration>
</sub_fields_list>
</data_field_configuration>

Resolution

In order for the indicator fields to *not* show simply as "Locally Defined," the indicator field itself will need to have a <description> included.
Example provided in the “Editing MARC-Based Profiles with Extension Packs” document for description:

This needs to be added just under "<first_indicator_configuration>" and "<second_indicator_configuration>".
This is a the indicator field description, in addition to the descriptions already added for the indicator options.
E.g. 595 example to indicate where the description should be:
