Set up mapping tab for BulkImport?

Question

Set up Mapping Tab for Bulk Import Rule?

Answer

Mapping Tab maps location and item information from incoming records to library locations & item types.

Map data from incoming record (MARC Item Type, MARC Location) to Voyager data (Voyager Item Type, Voyager Location) for each unique location/item type combination needing to be mapped for incoming records, or to a single default location/item type. See examples in Additional Information.

Additional Information

Example: Map to one default location/item type

MARC Item Type	Voyager Item Type	MARC Location	Voyager Location	Call Number Hierarchy
*	Book	*	Main	Library of

Maps every mfhd created by BulkImport to location code for Main and every item created  (if creating items via BulkImport) to Voyager item type of Book.
NOTE: Even if not creating item records via Bulkimport, Voyager Item Type is required field. Value not used in that case.

Example: Map to different locations/item types
 

MARC Item Type	Voyager Item Type	MARC Location	Voyager Location	Call Number Hierarchy
ser	Serial	acq	Acquisitions Desk	Library of Congress
per	Periodical	acq	Acquisitions Desk	Library of Congress
*	Book	*	Main	Library of Congress

BulkImport will first look for location/item type combination of ser / acq, then per / acq in incoming records to map to corresponding Voyager item type and location.
If not found, will use default mapping (third line above) and map to Book/Main

Library of Congress in example is name of Call Number Hierarchy defined in System Administration > Cataloging > Call Number Hierarchies.
