Use this customer parameter to control how punctuation is handled when a bibliographic record is updated by headings information. The following options can be configured:
Enter Y to add or correct punctuation when bibliographic records are updated by authority records.
If the bibliographic record originally had punctuation in a subfield, but the authority record does not have punctuation in that same subfield, when the authority record updates the bibliographic record during the Preferred Term Correction run, the authority record updates the bibliographic record with the latest headings information and runs a script according to the table in Implemented Punctuation Rules for Updated Bibliographic Records section to add or correct punctuation in the heading, before it is added to the bibliographic record. This is the default setting.
Enter N not to add or correct punctuation when bibliographic record are updated by authority records.
If the bibliographic record originally had punctuation in a subfield, but the authority record does not have punctuation in that same subfield, when the authority record updates the bibliographic record during the Preferred Term Correction run, it will update the bibliographic record with the latest headings information and will remove the punctuation from that subfield in the bibliographic record.
Enter 'LDR' when you want the system to determine how to handle the punctuation based on the content of position 18 in the LDR. When position 18 contains c or n (see the MARC 21 standard), punctuation is not added to the bibliographic record. For anything else specified in position 18, punctuation is added or corrected in the bibliographic record.
These punctuation settings apply when:

The default setting for this parameter is false. For more information, see Using the Authority Control Task List. | ||||||||||||||
| authority_ptc_ignore_suffix | Enables libraries to configure Alma to correct bibliographic headings based on authority cross-references, updating them to the preferred term and changing the field tag in the bibliographic record accordingly (such as, from 610 to 630). This ensures bibliographic data stays aligned with authority records' preferred terms.
To enable this functionality in your institution, input the vocabulary codes in upper case for the relevant authority vocabularies into the customer parameter, separated by commas, for example, LCNAMES, LCSH, LCGFT, MESH. |
||||||||||||||
| auto_copy_catalog_search_profile_default_id | The default Search Profile used for the automated copy-cataloging. | ||||||||||||||
| avoid_fuzzy_search_resolving | When set to true, enables the institution to indicate to Alma to avoid "Fuzzy matches" ("title only" matches) attempts if other information (like identifiers or author) exists in the URL. By default, the new customer parameter is set to false. For more information, see Control Ability to Ignore Title Based Link Resolving. |
||||||||||||||
| bib_heading_check_max_number | The maximum number of headings to check. | ||||||||||||||
| bib_heading_correct_max_number | The maximum number of headings to correct. | ||||||||||||||
| brief_level | Set the value that identifies the brief level threshold for records. Records with the same/equal value or less are considered brief records. You may use the values 00 through 09 to identify the brief level threshold. The default value for this parameter is 01.
By specifying 00 for the brief_level parameter, all records will be evaluated as not brief since the minimum brief level value that can be saved in a bibliographic record is 01. For institutions that choose not to use brief level criteria for evaluating records and want to avoid the brief level warnings that occur when creating PO lines, for example, the brief_level parameter should be set to 00.
The brief_level parameter is used as a threshold to evaluate the brief level of records. It does not change the brief level value assigned to individual records.
For more information, see Working with Brief Record Levels.

||||||||||||||
| item_editor_inventory_price_regex |
In the parameter value, configure a regular expression (regex) that will determine which characters may be used when manually entering an inventory price in the item editor. When an item with an invalid value in the inventory price is edited and saved, the operator is alerted that the inventory price does not match the institution's configuration, so they can check and correct the data if needed. This will help libraries make sure no mistakes are made when manually entering an inventory price. Libraries that populate an inventory price automatically from the PO Line should verify they configure a regex that supports the values in their PO Lines to prevent frequent alerts from being displayed to operators. |
||||||||||||||
| linking_identical_headings |
When set to true (default false), duplicate authority links remain linked in the bibliographic record. Every occurrence for any MARC field, even for identical bibliographic headings within the same record remains linked to the correct authority. If already linked, the PTC does not disrupt the existing link. |
||||||||||||||
| lod_uri_enrichment_for_partial_match | Set this parameter to false to prevent URI enrichment for partially linked authority records and add URIs only for full matches.
The authority control process in Alma sometimes generates partial matches between subject headings and authority records without the subdivisions. In such cases, the Linked Data enrichment process for bibliographic records that are linked to authorities generates a URI that only partially corresponds with the full subject. Libraries can prevent partial linking and add URIs only for full matches by setting this parameter to false. |
