Discover how to use constant data with non-Latin records in Connexion client.
Use non-Latin scripts in workforms to create bibliographic constant data records Cataloging > Create > Constant Data) or derive new constant data records from existing records (Edit > Derive > New Constant Data) in the same way as described above for creating and deriving bibliographic records.
For constant data in the local file only, you can use non-Latin scripts to name constant data records and search for them by non-Latin script name.
Also for constant data records in the local file only, you can use non-Latinscripts to specify My Status for records (Action > Set Status) and search for non-Latin script My Statuses. My Status is an optional free-text status that you add to records to help distinguish them.
You can change the sort order for results of searching the local constant datafile to Unicode sorting by non-Latin script. By default, results are sorted alphabetically by Latin script. The same setting also determines sort order for WorldCat search results and local save file search results.
When you apply constant data containing non-Latin script, the client:
Replaces a non-repeatable field in the bibliographic record with the paired non- Latin script 880 and equivalent romanized field from the constant data. Or
Adds the paired fields from the constant data below existing repeatable fields.
