Specify the Display Name for MARC tags

To specify the display name of MARC tags:

  1. In the Administration Explorer tree view, expand the System folder.
  2. Select Profiles and select the Cataloging tab.
  3. Select MARC validation: Bibliographic or MARC validation: Authority to display the MARC Validation Editor for the selected MARC format.

  1. Select a tag, indicator, or subfield.

Tip:
Expand a tag to see the indicators and subfields.

  1. Type a name in the Display Name box. This is the descriptive phrase/name that will be displayed in the MARC21 view when a user selects the tag, indicator, or subfield in the Bibliographic Record or Authority Record workform. The maximum length is 255 characters. When this box is empty, the MARC name is used for the popup field description in the MARC21 view of the workform.
  2. If you want to describe the tag, type additional text in the Description box. The text in the Description box does not display in the Bibliographic or Authority Record workforms.
  3. Click the save button to save the validation rules.
