Chapter 28. Default Values for Item Import


Home Prev	Part VII. Batch Importing MARC Records	Next

Evergreen now supports additional functionality for importing items through Cataloging → MARC Batch Import/Export. When items are imported via a Holdings Import Profile in Cataloging → MARC Batch Import/Export, Evergreen will create an item-level record for each copy. If an item barcode, call number, shelving location, or circulation modifier is not set in the embedded holdings, Evergreen will apply a default value based on the configured Library Settings. A default prefix can be applied to the auto-generated call numbers and item barcodes.

The following Library Settings can be configured to apply these default values to imported items:

Vandelay: Generate Default Barcodes —Auto-generate default item barcodes when no item barcode is present
Vandelay: Default Barcode Prefix —Apply this prefix to any auto-generated item barcodes
Vandelay: Generate Default Call Numbers —Auto-generate default item call numbers when no item call number is present
Vandelay: Default Call Number Prefix —Apply this prefix to any auto-generated item call numbers
Vandelay: Default Copy Location —Default copy location value for imported items
Vandelay: Default Circulation Modifier —Default circulation modifier value for imported items
