    Additional Information

    The consequence "Replace String With String" matches on an exact match. If the specified Replace String is

    Local Note

    it will not match:

    LOCAL NOTE
    Local note
    Local Note
    local note
    local

    but if there is additional text, the consequence will match and replace that specific string within the larger string - for example, with the rule outlined above, if the 999 subfield a contains

    This is a Local Note in the 999 tag.

    the rule will change it to

    This is a in the 999 tag.
