Monday Minutes: Customizable Authority Fields
by Kelly McElligott on Jan 2, 2023
In this week's Monday Minutes, Kelly and Jessie discuss two new system preferences to customize a library's authority record in 22.05.
System Preferences
In Koha 22.05, two new system preferences are introduced to allow libraries to customize the values in fields found in the authority record.
GenerateAuthorityField667
GenerateAuthorityField670
Previously, when Koha created a machine-generated authority record, default text was included in the fields 667 and 670. Now, Koha will allow libraries to edit this text to fit the library's workflow.
Each of these system preferences has a text box with the default text included, which can be added to or edited.
