Enable the Do Not Overlay Feature

To enable the Do not overlay feature for protecting bibliographic records from being overlaid:

1. Select Administration, Explorer, System, Parameters, and select the Cataloging tab.

The system-level Cataloging parameters are displayed.

2. Double-click the Bibliographic record Do not overlay feature enabled parameter, and select Yes.
3. Select File | Save.

When the parameter is set to Yes, the Do not overlay check box appears, unchecked by default, on the Bibliographic Record workform, the Bibliographic Record Template workform, the Import Profile, and the Bibliographic Record Bulk Change dialog box. When the parameter is set to No, the Do not overlay check box does not appear on any workforms or dialog boxes.

If the parameter is enabled and is subsequently disabled, the state of the Do not overlay bit in the records, templates, and import profiles (checked or unchecked) is saved, but it is ignored in any subsequent processing. However, if the library subsequently re-enables the parameter, and any bib records, bib templates or import profiles have the Do not overlay bit selected, a message informs the user that the Do not overlay setting will be restored for ## records, ## bibliographic templates, and xx import profiles.
