Set a default My Status or add My Status to a single record

Set a default My Status

If you want to set the same My Status (i.e., your name) to most local constant data records (unavailable for online authority constant data), you can save time by setting a default My Status. The client automatically supplies it each time you save an authority constant data record to the local file.

1. Navigate to Tools > Options and press <Alt><T><O>.
2. Click the My Status tab.
3. Under Authority Constant Data, enter a note or identifier in free text (limit: 40 characters) to apply to constant data.
   
   For any particular constant data record, you can change the default My Status if needed:
   1. Click Action > Set Status or press <Alt><Shift><S>.
   2. Enter over the highlighted default My Status in the Enter My Status Text field or edit the default My Status.

 Note: You can also set a default My Status for online and local bibliographic save file records.

Set My Status for a single local authority record

1. With a local authority constant data record open, on the click Action > Set Status or press <Alt><Shift><S>.
2. In the Set Status dialog, in the Enter My Status Text field, enter an identifier or note in free text (maximum 40 characters).
3. (Optional) Select the Save Record check box if you want to save the record at the same time you set the My Status. A check mark indicates that this option is selected.
4. Click OK or press <Enter> to assign or change the My Status, or click Cancel. The My Status you entered displays in the record’s status bar.
