Filtering Holdings Sets Using Indication Rules
Alma users can now apply indication rules to filter collections of holdings records either during the process of saving a holdings search or by utilizing the "Filter Set" feature on the Manage Sets page. Additionally, when generating indication rules through a form, it is now feasible to create rules based on the metadata of holdings records. This functionality proves especially beneficial for libraries aiming to refine their holdings sets using metadata not included in the search indexes. For more information, see Creating a Form-Based Indication Rule. Watch the Filter a Holding Set by Indication Rule video (1:48 mins).
- Physical Item Condition field in the Item Record
- Harvard can now customize the values in this field. Currently, they are: Brittle, Damaged, Deteriorating, Fragile. LTS can add values to this list and is consulting with TSWG on what options should be added. To request values, please contact LTS Support.
