Check for duplicate call numbers

When creating, viewing, or editing LHRs via the text-view editor, use the Check Duplicate Call Number option to determine if an LHR's call number is unique. 

From the item details screen, select Check Duplicate Call Number.  If the call number in the LHR already exists, you will receive a pop-up message with a link to the record(s) with the call number(s).

 Note:

  • If you would like all LHRs to automatically be checked for duplicate call numbers when they are added or edited, enable the corresponding user preference in the Working with Records accordion in WorldShare Record Manager. 
  • The duplicate call number warning will only appear for LHRs that are attached to separate bibliographic records. In the case that the duplicate call number exists in an LHR under the same bibliographic record there will be no warning.
