Answer
File names
First, check the Files of records and file names documentation. It can help determine where the file came from.
If you want to have knowledge base collection records go into separate files based on the collection, see the Delivery File Output section of Enable record delivery in your collection.
Institution Settings
There are institution settings and collection-level settings that allow you to output files separately. In Collection Manager > Institution Settings > MARC Records > Record Delivery, you can set up separate delivery for all serials and/or for your WorldCat Holdings Collection. You will see the options listed as follows:
- Deliver my serials in a separate file (.ser)
- Deliver records for WorldCat holdings collection in a separate file (.wcholdings)
At the collection-level, you have options to set up separate delivery for specific collections. Files will be output to a separate file within the New, Updates and Deletes folders.
Notes and other information in the record
You can add map notes and/or custom text to your records and then add collection-specific notes and/or custom text within a collection.
The provider and collection name will be included in the 590 field by default (if you requested Collection Manager after August 2013):
- 590 $a: Provider
- 590 $b: Collection name
Delete records will have the record status code "d" in the leader
