    Question

    Why is there the error message "Delimiter was not found. Contact the system administrator" when trying to open the Metadata Editor or editing a bib record?

    Answer

    The issue is due to no value defined for parameter call_number_type.

    Go to Alma Configuration > Resources > General > Other Settings and search for call_number_type. There needs to be a numeric value for the default call number type.

    For additional information please see "Configuring Other Settings (Resource Management)"
