OpacSuppression
Asks: ___ bibliographic records marked as suppressed from OPAC search results.
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$n in MARC21, no official field in UNIMARC) in each bibliographic record you want to hide from the OPAC. The indexer then hides it from display in OPAC but will still display it in the staff interface.
Poznámka
An authorized value should be set for the MARC21 942$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.
Varovanie
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.
Poznámka
Suppressed records will show a note in the staff interface indicating that they are suppressed from view in the OPAC.
This note can be styled by using the IntranetUserCSS preference to stand out more if you’d like.
For the example above, the following snippet was added to IntranetUserCSS
.suppressed_opac {
font-size: larger;
color: red;
}
OpacSuppressionByIPRange
Asks: Restrict the suppression to IP addresses outside of the IP range ___ (Leave blank if not used. Define a range like 192.168..)

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.
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.
Components to be displayed are found using the host record’s control number (001) in the child record’s 773$w subfield, regardless of the UseControlNumber system preference.
For example, the host record is
001 4379599 003 FI-BTJ 245 00 ‡aEasy piano pieces for children.
The component record is
001 4401194 003 FI-BTJ 100 1/ ‡aVivaldi, Antonio. 245 10 ‡aAutumn : ‡bfrom The four seasons. 773 0/ ‡w4379599 ‡tEasy piano pieces for children773$w must contain the control number of the host record, with or without the control number identifier.
Both of these will work
773 0/ ‡w4379599
or
773 0/ ‡w(FI-BTJ)4379599
Varovanie
This feature only works with MARC21. UNIMARC is not supported at this time.

Important
Unless you are going in and manually changing 773$w to match your rigorously-defined bibliographic relationships, you should set this preference to „Don’t use“ and instead set EasyAnalyticalRecords to „Display“
Description:
If you have a serial called „Journal of Interesting Things“ which has a separate record from when it was called „Transactions of the Interesting Stuff Society,“ you could add linking fields to indicate the relationship between the two records. UseControlNumber allows you to use your local accession numbers for those links. In MARC21, the relevant sections of the two records might look like this:
=001 12345 =110 2_$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.
Poznámka
You can use the autoControlNumber system preference to automatically fill 001 with the biblionumber of the record.

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:

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 MARC Bibliographic Frameworks section of this manual.
autoControlNumber
Asks: Control Number (001) is ___.
Default: not generated automatically
Values:
generated as biblionumber
not generated automatically
Description:
This system preference is used to automatically generate a control number in the MARC field 001.
By default, Koha does not generate a control number for records.
If set to ‚generated as biblionumber‘, the control number will be filled with the biblionumber once the record is saved.
This will not affect existing records that already have a value in 001. The existing value will be preserved.
If an existing record has no value in 001, the biblionumber will be added.
When duplicating a record, 001 will not be copied to the new record. The biblionumber will be added to 001 upon saving the new record.
ContentWarningField
Asks: Use MARC field ___ for storing content warnings.
Default: none
Description:
This system preference is used to choose the MARC field that is used to add content warnings to a bibliographic record.
It is recommended to use a local notes field (599 in MARC21 for example).
Make sure to add the field in the MARC bibliographic framework in order to be able to edit it.
Subfield x will not appear in the OPAC. Use it to add non-public notes about the content warning.

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.
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.
