Loading and Editing User-Defined Coverage Table Columns

Your library can store data about a title in user-defined fields in the coverage table. A maximum of four user-defined fields per provider are allowed.

Loading User-Defined Coverage Table Columns from Coverage Spreadsheets

To load user column data from coverage spreadsheets:

1. Enter the user column names in the Heading Conversion section of the Coverage Spreadsheet Conversion Rules. For example:
   
   
   field|UserData    |UserData
   
   
2. Put the name of the user columns in the configuration entry of coverage spreadsheets.
3. Enter the values for the user columns in the data entries of coverage spreadsheets.

User column names cannot be edited after a coverage spreadsheet has been processed. However, you can map data to a user column by changing the Coverage Spreadsheet Conversion Rules.

For example, if your library no longer receives coverage spreadsheets that contain "UserData" and instead receives coverage spreadsheets that contain "NewUserData," change the Coverage Spreadsheet Conversion Rules from:

field|UserData    |UserData

to:

field|NewUserData    |UserData

Loading User-Defined Coverage Table Columns from XML Files

To load user column data from XML files:

1. Put the user column name in the OtherDataName element.
2. Enter the values for the user columns in the OtherDataValue elements.

Editing User-Defined Coverage Table Columns

Data in user-defined columns can be edited with the same procedure used to edit other coverage table data. See Editing Fields in Titles.
