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 |
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.
