Edit Location Map
Use this option to edit the Location Map table. This table controls which MARC tag values map to Sierra bibliographic and item record location codes during a database record load. When you choose this option, the system displays a table similar to the following:
LOCATION MAP
SUBFIELD A SUBFIELD B BIB LOCATION ITEM LOCATION
01 > CPE FIN mper moff
02 > THY GUY mmed mres
03 > THM GUM q
04 > NPK RIY mmed mref
05 > PRI mstk
06 > FFF mstk
07 > DDD mper
08 > EEE mres
09 > TRI mref
10 > FER mmed
11 > ABC mmic

Key a line number to edit an entry, or
F > FORWARD J > JUMP D > DELETE entries

Choose one (1-17,F,B,J,A,D,P,R,+)
Each line in the table contains mapping information for different values of a library-specified MARC tag. As the system loads records, it searches for combinations of values in subfields 'a' and 'b' of the MARC tag. These values are specified by SUBFIELD A and SUBFIELD B in the table. When the system finds one of the indicated combinations, it inserts the BIB LOCATION value in the bibliographic record and the ITEM LOCATION value in the item record.
Innovative Setup
Although the library determines which MARC tag to use for mapping location data, Innovative must set up the MARC tag in the load table.
The following options are available when editing the Location Map table:
Enter a line number to edit an entry
Enter a line number to edit the mapping information for a particular table entry. A screen similar to the following appears:
LOCATION MAP
Field: Current Value:
1 > SUBFIELD A CPE
2 > SUBFIELD B FIN
3 > BIB LOCATION mper
4 > ITEM LOCATION moff
_______________________________________________________________________________
Key a number or
P > PRINT
R > RETURN to previous menu
Choose one (1-4,P,R)
Enter a number to edit one of the values of the four fields. You must enter a value for SUBFIELD A. If you fail to do so, the system warns:
SUBFIELD A can't be left blank. You must enter a value for this field
or the new location mapping will not be set.
Press <SPACE> to continue
You must also enter a value for either BIB LOCATION or ITEM LOCATION. The following message appears if you leave both LOCATION fields blank:
You must enter AT LEAST ONE of the location fields
(BIB LOCATION or ITEM LOCATION)
Press <SPACE> to continue
SUBFIELD B is optional. Also note that the values of SUBFIELD A and SUBFIELD B are limited to 10 characters each. The values of BIB LOCATION and ITEM LOCATION are limited to 5 characters each.
A > ADD an entry
Press A to add an entry to the table. The system prompts:
Insert new entry at what position in the list? (1-18) _
Specify the position for the new entry. The system then prompts you to enter values for each of the four fields. Again, you must specify values for SUBFIELD A and at least one of the LOCATION fields.
D > DELETE entries
Press D to delete entries from the table. The system prompts:
Delete which entries? (Hit <RETURN> when finished)
Example: 3 or 1,7,3 or 2-5 or 1,4,7-10 Range: 1-17
Enter the line numbers of the entries to delete, and the system asks you to confirm:
Delete the entries entered above? (y/n)
