Statuses for saved bibliographic records

Find statuses for saved bibliographic records in Connexion client.
  • You or the system assigns record statuses only to assist you in managing and processing records you are using for cataloging.
  • Status values are stored only in the working copy of a record saved in the online or local bibliographic save file.
    Exception: The client does not save the status for Report Error with the record.
  • Statuses are displayed in a record's status bar and in a save file list.
