How to delete categories
1. On the Categories tab, select the desired category, and then choose Delete. A
warning message appears, asking if you are sure you want to delete the
category. Choose Yes. You will be asked if you want to continue. Choose Yes
again. The Deleting Categories progress dialog appears.
When a category is deleted, the category is first removed from all of the
copies to which it has been assigned. After the category is removed from all
of its copies, the category itself is deleted. If you interrupt the deletion
process by choosing Cancel in the progress dialog, System Setup does not go
back and reassign that category to the copies from which it has already been
removed. You will have to reassign the category to its copies based on your
Titles by Category Report.
2. When processing is complete, choose Close in the Deleting Categories
progress dialog.
Defining the tag range for your brief MARC records
System Setup allows you to set starting and ending tag numbers to determine if a
record is brief or full. A brief record contains no information in the tags within
the specified range. A full record does contain information in one or more tags in
the specified range.
If you purchase Alliance Plus, changing the brief record range affects which titles
are updated during an Autorecon. For more information about the Autorecon
process using Alliance Plus, see Chapter 31, Autorecon and Reading Program
Recon."
You can also generate a Brief Records Report that lists brief records in your
collection according to title. For more information about the Brief Records Report,
see Generating a Brief Records Report" on page 503.
Important:
When redefining your brief record tag range, you must have exclusive
access to the database. This means that no other Follett applications
may be open at any workstation except for search modules, such as
OPAC or WebCollection Plus. Redefining your brief record tag range
may also take a long time. Once started, this process cannot be
interrupted.
