Default: Don't hide
Values:
- Don't hide
- Will show records in OPAC search results even if they are marked as
suppressed
- Hide
- Will not show records in OPAC search results if they're marked as
suppressed
Description:
- This system preference controls hiding of bibliographic records in the OPAC. Enter
"1" in the field mapped to the suppress index (942$n in MARC21, no official
field in UNIMARC) in each bibliographic record you want to hide from
the OPAC. The indexer then hides it from display in OPAC but will still
display it in the staff interface.
.. Note::
An :ref:`authorized value <authorized-values-label>` should be set for the
MARC21 942$n field (or the equivalent UNIMARC field) to eliminate errors.
You can use the YES\_NO authorized value category, or create a new one
titled SUPPRESS, for example, with a value of 0 for don't suppress and 1
for suppress.
.. Warning::
If this preference is set to 'hide' and you have the 942$n field set to 1,
it will hide the entire bibliographic record, not just an individual item.
.. Note::
Suppressed records will show a note in the staff interface indicating that
they are suppressed from view in the OPAC.
|suppressedstaff|
This note can be styled by using the :ref:`IntranetUserCSS <IntranetUserCSS-label>` preference to
stand out more if you'd like.
|suppressedstyled|
Fot the example above, the following snippet was added to
:ref:`IntranetUserCSS <IntranetUserCSS-label>`
.. code-block:: css
.suppressed_opac {
font-size: larger;
color: red;
}
.. _opacsuppressionbyiprange-label:
OpacSuppressionByIPRange
'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
Asks: Restrict the suppression to IP addresses outside of the IP range \_\_\_
(Leave blank if not used. Define a range like 192.168..)
Description:
- If you want to further control suppression you can set an IP address range
to still show suppressed items to. Define a range like 192.168.. If you
don't want to limit suppression in this way, leave the IP field blank.
.. _opacsuppressionredirect-label:
OpacSuppressionRedirect
'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
Asks: Redirect the opac detail page for suppressed records to \_\_\_
Values:
- the 404 error page ('Not found').
- an explanatory page ('This record is blocked').
Default: an explanatory page ('This record is blocked')
Description:
- This system preference lets you decide what the patrons will see in the OPAC when
a record is suppressed. You can either show the patron a 404 error page or
an explanatory page when they try to see a suppressed record. You can change
the message of the explanatory page with the
:ref:`OpacSuppressionMessage <OpacSuppressionMessage-label>` system preference.
.. _opacsuppressionmessage-label:

.. _showcomponentrecords-preferences-label:
ShowComponentRecords, MaxComponentRecords, ComponentSortField, and ComponentSortOrder
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
These preferences determine whether or not children records, or component
records, are displayed in the host record's detail page.
This is especially useful for cataloging music, but it can be used in any
situation where there is a host record, such a cataloging serials or kits.
.. _showcomponentrecords-label:
ShowComponentRecords
'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
Asks: Show a list of component records, as linked via field 773, in \_\_\_
record detail pages.
Default: no
Values:
- both staff interface and OPAC
- no
- OPAC
- staff interface
Description:
- This is the main switch for the display of component records.
- If set to 'no', the display is disabled.
- If set to 'staff interface' (or 'both staff interface and OPAC'), the
component records will appear in the host record's detail page in the
staff interface, under the 'Components' tab.
|ShowComponentRecordsStaffInterface|
- If set to 'OPAC' (or 'both staff interface and OPAC'), the component records
will appear in the host record's detail page in the OPAC, under the
'Components' tab.
|ShowComponentRecordsOPAC|
- Components to be displayed are found using the host record's control number
(001) in the child record's 773$w subfield, regardless of the
:ref:`UseControlNumber <UseControlNumber-label>` system preference.
For example, the host record is
.. code-block::
001 4379599
003 FI-BTJ
245 00 ‡aEasy piano pieces for children.
The component record is
.. code-block::
001 4401194
003 FI-BTJ
100 1/ ‡aVivaldi, Antonio.
245 10 ‡aAutumn :
‡bfrom The four seasons.
773 0/ ‡w4379599
‡tEasy piano pieces for children
773$w must contain the control number of the host record, with or without
the control number identifier.
Both of these will work
.. code-block::
773 0/ ‡w4379599
or
.. code-block::
773 0/ ‡w(FI-BTJ)4379599
.. Warning::
This feature only works with MARC21. UNIMARC is not supported at this time.
.. Warning::
This system preference does not work with :ref:`EasyAnalyticalRecords <EasyAnalyticalRecords-label>`.
.. Warning::
This system preference does not work with :ref:`UseControlNumber <UseControlNumber-label>`.
.. _maxcomponentrecords-label:
MaxComponentRecords
'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
Asks: A maximum of \_\_\_ records will be displayed.
Default: 300
Description:
- This system preference determines how many component records are displayed
in the 'Components' tab, both in the staff interface and in the OPAC.
- If the host record has more components than the system preference dictates,
there will be a link at the end to display the remaining records.
.. _componentsortfield-label:
ComponentSortField
'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
Asks: By default, sort component results in the staff interface by \_\_\_,
(:ref:`ComponentSortOrder <ComponentSortOrder-label>`).
Default: title
Values:
- date added
- author
- call number
- date of publication
- title
Description:
- This system preference, along with :ref:`ComponentSortOrder <ComponentSortOrder-label>`, determines how
the component records are sorted in the 'Components' tab.
.. _componentsortorder-label:
ComponentSortOrder
'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
Asks: By default, sort component results in the staff interface by
(:ref:`ComponentSortField <ComponentSortField-label>`), \_\_\_.
Default: ascending
Values:
- ascending
- descending
Description:
- This system preference, along with :ref:`ComponentSortField <ComponentSortField-label>`, determines how
the component records are sorted in the 'Components' tab.
.. _separateholdings-and-separateholdingsbranch-label:
SeparateHoldings and SeparateHoldingsBranch
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
SeparateHoldings default: Don't separate
SeparateHoldingsBranch default: home library
Asks: \_\_\_ items display into two tabs, where the first tab contains
items whose \_\_\_ is the logged in user's library. The second tab will
contain all other items.
SeparateHoldings values:
- Don't separate
- Separate
SeparateHoldingsBranch values:
- holding library
- home library
Description:
- This system preference lets you decide if you would like to have the holding
information on the bibliographic detail page in the staff interface
split in to multiple tabs. The default is to show all holdings on one
tab.
|image19|
.. _urllinktext-label:
URLLinkText
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Default: Online Resource
Asks: Show \_\_\_ as the text of links embedded in MARC records.
Description:
- If the 856 field does not have a subfield 3 or y defined, the OPAC
will say 'Click here to access online.^ If you would like the field
to say something else enter that in this field.
.. _usecontrolnumber-label:
UseControlNumber
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Default: Don't use
Asks: \_\_\_ record control number ($w subfields) and control number
(001) for linking of bibliographic records.
Values:
- Don't use
- When clicking on links to titles that appear next to 'Continues'
and 'Continued by' in the detail display Koha will perform a title
search
- Use
- When clicking on links to titles that appear next to 'Continues'
and 'Continued by' in the detail display Koha will perform a
control number (MARC field 001) search
**Important**
Unless you are going in and manually changing 773$w to match your
rigorously-defined bibliographic relationships, you should set this
preference to "Don't use" and instead set
:ref:`EasyAnalyticalRecords <EasyAnalyticalRecords-label>` to "Display"
Description:
- If you have a serial called "Journal of Interesting Things" which has
a separate record from when it was called "Transactions of the
Interesting Stuff Society," you could add linking fields to indicate
the relationship between the two records. UseControlNumber allows you
to use your local accession numbers for those links. In MARC21, the
relevant sections of the two records might look like this:
::
=001 12345
=110 2_$aInteresting Stuff Society.
=245 10$aTransactions of the Interesting Stuff Society.
=785 00$aInteresting Stuff Society$tJournal of Interesting Things.$w12346
=001 12346
=110 2_$aInteresting Stuff Society.
=245 10$aJournal of Interesting Things.
=780 00$aInteresting Stuff Society$tTransactions of the Interesting Stuff Society.$w12345
With UseControlNumber set to 'Use', the 78x links will use the
Control Numbers is subfield $w, instead of doing a title search on
"Journal of Interesting Things" and "Transactions of the Interesting
Stuff Society" respectively.

to match aggressively by trying all variations of the ISBNs in the
imported record as a phrase in the ISBN fields of already cataloged
records.
Values:
- do
- don't
Description:
- This system preference allows you to choose to alter the ISBN matching rule
used when staging records for import to be more aggressive. This
means that all text will be stripped from the ISBN field so that a
pure number match is possible. If this preference is set to "Don't"
then Koha will find a match only if the ISBN fields are identical.
.. _aggressivematchonissn-label:

exporting from the detail page in the staff interface, use the \_\_\_ in the
file name.
Default: bibliographic record number
Values:
- bibliographic record number
- control number
Description:
- This system preference determines what is the default file name that is used when
downloading a MARC record.
- Choosing 'bibliographic record number' will result in a file name like
bib-123456.mrc where 123456 is the biblionumber.
- Choosing 'contol number' will result in a file name like record-123456.mrc
where 123456 is the record control number (in MARC21, this is the 001 field).
.. _easyanalyticalrecords-label:
EasyAnalyticalRecords
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Asks: \_\_\_ easy ways to create analytical record relationships.
Default: Don't show
Values:
- Don't show
- Show
Description:
- An analytic entry in a catalog is one that describes a part of a
larger work that is also described in the catalog. In bibliographic
cataloging, analytic entries may be made for chapters in books or
special issues of articles in periodicals. In archival cataloging,
analytic entries may be made for series or items within a collection.
This feature in Koha allows for an :ref:`easy way of linking analytic
entries to the host records<easy-analytics-label>`, and this system
preference adds several new menu options to the staff cataloging detail
pages to allow that to happen.
.. Warning::
If you decide to use this feature, make sure that the :ref:`UseControlNumber <UseControlNumber-label>`
system preference is set to "Don't use". Otherwise, the "Show analytics"
links in the staff interface and the OPAC will be broken.
.. _enableadvancedcatalogingeditor-label:
EnableAdvancedCatalogingEditor

.. _alternateholdingsfield-and-alternateholdingsseparator-label:
AlternateHoldingsField and AlternateHoldingsSeparator
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Asks: Display MARC subfield \_\_\_ as holdings information for records
that do not have items, with the subfields separated by \_\_\_.
Description:
- Sometimes libraries migrate to Koha with their holding info in the
852 field (OCLC holdings information field) and choose not to
transfer that information into the 952 (Koha holdings information
field) because they don't plan on circulating those items. For those
libraries or other libraries that have data in the 852 fields of
their records that they want to display, these preferences let you
choose to display holdings info from a field other than the 952
field. The AlternateHoldingsField preference can contain multiple
subfields to look in; for instance 852abhi would look in 852
subfields a, b, h, and i.
- With AlternateHoldingsField set to 852abhi and
AlternateHoldingsSeparator set to a space the holdings would look
like the following:
|image22|
.. _autobarcode-label:

Default: generated in the form <branchcode>yymm0001
Asks: Barcodes are \_\_\_
Values:
- generated in the form <branchcode>yymm0001
- generated in the form <year>-0001, <year>-0002
- generated in the form 1, 2, 3
- incremental EAN-13 barcodes
- not generated automatically
Description:
- This setting is for libraries wishing to generate barcodes from
within Koha (as opposed to scanning in pre-printed barcodes or
manually assigning them). The default behavior makes it so that when
you click in the barcode field (952$p in MARC21) it will populate
with the automatic barcode you have chosen. If you would rather it
only enter an automatic barcode when you click on the plugin (the ...
to the right of the field) you can change the plugin used for that
field in the framework. Set the plugin for 952$p (if using MARC21 or
equivalent field mapped to items.barcode in your local MARC format)
for your frameworks to barcode\_manual.pl instead of barcode.pl.
Learn more about editing frameworks under the :ref:`MARC Bibliographic
Frameworks <marc-bibliographic-frameworks-label>` section of this manual.
.. _defaultcountryfield008-label:
DefaultCountryField008

Default: Empty defaults to xxu for United States
Asks: Fill in the default country code for field 008 Range 15-17 of MARC21 -
Place of publication, production, or execution. \_\_\_.
Description:
- This system preference will allow you to set the country code for your MARC21
008 field by default. If this is left empty it will default to
United States (xxu). See the `MARC Code List for
Countries <http://www.loc.gov/marc/countries/countries_code.html>`__
for additional values for this preference.
**Note**
This system preference won't have any effect if your records are in
UNIMARC.
.. _defaultlanguagefield008-label:

- This system preference will allow you to set the language for your MARC21
008 field by default. If this is left empty it will default to
English (eng). See the `MARC Code List for
Languages <http://www.loc.gov/marc/languages/language_code.html>`__
for additional values for this preference.
**Note**
This system preference won't have any effect if your records are in
UNIMARC.
.. _item-level_itypes-label:
item-level\_itypes
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Default: specific item
Asks: Use the item type of the \_\_\_ as the authoritative item type
(for determining circulation and fines rules, etc).
Values:
- bibliographic record
- specific item
Description:
- This system preference determines whether the item type Koha uses for
issuing rules will be an attribute of the bibliographic record or the
item record. Most libraries refer to the item record for item types.
It also determines if the item type icon appears on the OPAC search
results. If you have the preference set to 'bibliographic record' then Koha
displays the item type icon on the search results to the left of the
result info.
|image23|
.. _itemcallnumber-label:
itemcallnumber
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Default: 082ab
Asks: Map the MARC subfield to an item's callnumber.
**Note**
This can contain multiple subfields to look in; for instance 082ab
would look in 082 subfields a and b.
Description:
- This setting determines which MARC field will be used to determine
the call number that will be entered into item records automatically
(952$o). The value is set by providing the MARC field code (050, 082,
090, 852 are all common in MARC21) and the subfield codes without the
delimiters ($a, $b would be ab).
- The field can also contain several MARC fields in priority order.
For example, 082ab,050ab,080ab,090ab will look in priority in 082ab, if
