Update the bibliographic constant data record with the new information. Note: Remove any empty fields and/or subfields you do not want added to a record in the MARC 21 editor before you save your constant data record. Empty fields and subfields are retained after saving as some institutions may want to use them as a prompt to add new data in a record.
Click Save.
In the Save Constant Data Record dialog, enter:
Name - Enter the name of the new constant data record.
My Status - Enter the status of the constant data record. Use this information to help retrieve constant data records.
Make Default - Select if you want this constant data record to be your default bibliographic constant data record. Note: You will need to select a default bibliographic constant data record in order to apply constant data when deriving a bibliographic record.
