►System Administration> Pull-Down List Sequences
This domain enables you to configure values that appear in drop down lists in the OLIB Web interface, for example Note Types in the Titles domain. You can:
Currently this is possible for the following areas:
For example National Bibliography Number; Geographic Area Code; Coden Designation. This data cannot be deleted from the OLIB database because it could adversely affect the MARC21 import and export processes. Search using e.g. control.
For example Bibliographic and Index; Dissertation; Supplements. This data cannot be deleted from the OLIB database because it could adversely affect the MARC21 import and export processes. Search using e.g. note
For example Uniform Title, Abbreviated Title. This data cannot be deleted from the OLIB database because it could adversely affect the MARC21 import and export processes. Search using e.g. title.
A full set of ISO currencies is supplied and as it is impractical to display all 180+ currencies in a drop down list the Change Value Seq domain allows you to configure which currencies do appear in the drop down list. In this domain, there is an entry for each of the standard currencies delivered. However only 14 of the more common currencies are configured to display in a Currency drop down list. Using Change Value Seq you can re-sequence these to show your most common currencies at the top. Search using e.g. currencies.
The types of subject heading in use, e.g. MESH, LC Geographical. If you require separate fields to display these, see Categorised Classes and Subjects Display. You may prefer to discuss with your OCLC Consultant. Subject Types are also used to configure the Thesaurus. Search using e.g. subject.
In this example we remove a Control No Type:
The values are only removed from the drop down lists when creating or amending records. They will continue to be displayed in the reference data domain itself. See below for adding a value back into the drop down list.
In this example we set Uniform Title near to the top of the list of Alt. Title Types.
In this example we add a currency value that does not currently display. (There are 180+ currencies and it is impractical for all currencies to display in the OLIB drop down).
Note: if you delete a record in the Pull Down List Sequence domain, in practice this means the value represented by that record will now always appear in the drop down box for the relevant domain.
