Discover how to control all headings in a record in Connexion client.
  1. Log on to Connexion client.
  2. Open a bibliographic record or create a new record.
  3. (Optional) If you are in WorldCat, navigate to Action > Lock WorldCat Record or press <Alt><F8> to lock the WorldCat record.
  4. Navigate to Edit > Control Headings > All or press <Shift><F11>.
     Note: If you are not logged on, the Logon window opens. You must log on.
    • The system opens a message to inform you of the outcome.
    • The system replaces controllable fields with controlled fields automatically. If some headings are already controlled, the system controls those that are not.
    • If not all headings were controlled, the message suggests trying to control the remaining headings individually.
  5. When finished, to keep the controlled heading(s) in the record:
    • For a workform:
      1. Click Action > Holdings > Update Holdings [or Produce and Update Holdings or Alternate Produce and Update] to add the record to WorldCat.
    • For an existing record:
      1. Click Action > Replace Record or Replae and Update Holdings to replace the WorldCat record.

     Note:
    • If you did not lock the WorldCat record (see step 3), the system automatically locks the record before replacing it.
    • You must be logged on with at least a Full-level cataloging authorization to add a new record or replace a WorldCat record. See Add or replace record to retain newly controlled headings for more details.
    • In some bibliographic records, headings tagged as 6xx with indicators other than 0 (zero) are incorrectly highlighted as controlled headings.
    • Client version 2.63 requires a space between other characters in the text of the field and the subfield delimiter to control a heading. The move to support all Unicode characters has changed the behavior of Latin Letter Aveolar (U+01C2) that the client uses for the delimiter symbol. Reformatting the record before you control headings adds the spaces automatically.
