Editing indicators
To edit a tag's indicator, click on the indicator button. (If there are no defined
values for that indicator, a message appears asking if you want to proceed.) The
Edit Indicator dialog appears:
Either type the indicator value
in the text box and click OK
or doubleĆclick on the value.
Be sure to set the indicator for any nonfiling characters. This ensures that the
application skips the leading article (a, an, the) and indexes the title correctly so
that it is easily found during searches. This is especially important if you selected
to remove articles in search terms (see Setting up miscellaneous Cataloging
options" on page 55).
Common tags that have nonfilingĆcharacter indicators are the 245, 240, and 440
(2nd indicator), and the 130, 730, and 740 (1st indicator). When entering the
number of nonfiling characters, include the space that follows the leading article.
For example, The Yearling has 4 nonfiling characters (T, H, E, space).
Inserting and deleting subfields
The information in variable-length tags is divided into subfields. The template
you're using includes the most common subfields for each tag. From that starting
point, you can insert subfields as you need them.
