    Question

    How to change the fields in record display in a record views (bibliographic and holdings) in Tomcat WebVoyage?

    Answer

    Always back up your file before making changes.

    1. Log on to server as voyager user.
    2. cd /m1/voyager/xxxdb/tomcat/vwebv/context/vwebv/ui/<skin>/xsl/contentLayout/configs
    3. Select the file to edit based on type of record fields are in:
      1. displaycfg.xml -- bibliographic record fields
      2. displayHoldings.xml -- mfhd/holdings record fields
    4. Make backup copy of file.
    5. Edit file with desired changes (see Additional Information for examples).
    6. Save changes and test.

    Additional Information

    Example 1: add 346 field to display, edit displaycfg.xml

    Add section for new field:

    <!--added on {date} for RDA records-->
    <displayTags label="Video Characteristics:">
    <displayTag field="346" indicator1="X" indicator2="X" subfield="ab"/>
    </displayTags>
    

    which will display 346 with any indicator values, subfields a and b.
    Save changes.

    Example 2: Remove Notes from Holdings display; edit displayHoldings.xml

    Find relevant section in file:

    <holdingsTags label="Notes:">
    <displayTag field="852" indicator1="X" indicator2="X" subfield="z" />
    </holdingsTags>
    

    Comment out the section to suppress display:

    <!-- commented out {date} by ExL
    <holdingsTags label="Notes:">
    <displayTag field="852" indicator1="X" indicator2="X" subfield="z" />
    </holdingsTags>
    -->
    

     Save changes.
