Discover how to control a single authority heading in Connexion client.
Note:
In some bibliographic records, headings tagged as 6xx with indicators other than 0 (zero) are incorrectly highlighted as controlled headings.
Client version 2.63 requires a space between other characters in the text of the field and the subfield delimiter to control a heading. The move to support all Unicode characters has changed the behavior of Latin Letter Aveolar (U+01C2) that the client uses for the delimiter symbol. Reformatting the record before you control headings adds the spaces automatically.

The heading is automatically controlled and inserted into the bibliographic record.
The heading is hyperlinked to the exactly matching authority record(s).
Unqualified personal name, or no exact match, or no matching records: If a matching unqualified personal name heading or cross reference (has only a subfield a) is found, or no exact matches are found, or multiple records that partially match are found, the system does not automatically control and insert a heading. Instead, the Control Headings window opens to help you select or build and insert a controlled heading.
