Set default bibliographic constant data

Set default bibliographic constant data

You can designate a constant data record as the default when you create it (see Create, edit, or delete constant data records) or make an existing record the default. To make an existing record the default:

1. With an online constant data record open, on the Edit menu, click Constant Data > Online >Set as Default or press <Alt><E><D><O><D>.
   Or
   With a local constant data record open, on the Edit menu, click Constant Data > Local > Set as Default or press <Alt><E><D><L><D>.
2. In the Fields to Apply window, select the MARC fields you want to apply:
   • Fixed
   • Variable (default)
   • Both
   
    Caution: The client gives you the option to apply fixed or variable fields or both. See more below about the limitations of these choices and workarounds.
   
    Note: To change the Fields to Apply setting for a default constant data record, you must reset the record as default to open the Fields to Apply window.
3. Click OK or press <Enter>.
