Cataloguing plugins (value builders)
With value builders you can enhance your cataloguing with additional features like validation, link creation, auto-generation of numbers etc.
A value builder is a perl script that, within a MARC framework, is linked to a certain subfield in bibliographic records, authority records or items.
Nota
Cataloguing plugins are not to be confused with Koha plugins
Set up
Get there: Administration > MARC bibliographic framework
To use a value builder in your MARC framework, navigate to Administration > MARC bibliographic framework and then to the MARC structure of the desired framework.
Search for or browse to a field, and choose ‘Edit subfields’ from its ‘Actions’ menu. Go to the subfield’s tab, and choose the relevant entry from the drop down list at “plugin”.
Example
Adding the call number browser to the items editor:
In your MARC framework, go to field 952 and edit subfield o.
Choose cn_browser.pl from the ‘Plugin’ list.
Save your changes.
