Configuring a MARC Map for a parent search field

If you want to, you can specify the default MARC Map for any parent search field.

If you edit a search field, or if you edit the MARC Map properties for a parent search field, you must re-index your data and refresh the Discovery search cache. Your changes are not reflected in Searching or the Admin console until you refresh the search cache. For more information about refreshing the Discovery search cache, see Refreshing the search cache.

Extra content search fields do not map to MARC Tags, nor do they map to PDF metadata fields. While these options may be available for extra content, changing the settings may cause undesirable results.

To configure a MARC Map for a parent search field

  1. Log in to the Admin console.
  2. Choose Search Configuration from the navigation pane.
  3. Choose Search Fields.
  4. Choose the Configure MARC Map option next to the parent search field for which you want to specify the default MARC Map.

  5. Complete the fields, as necessary. For more information, see Fields: Configure Default MARC Map.

    Note: You can change a MARC Map to extract different data than what is provided by the currently selected MARC Map. If the MARC Map you want to edit is a default MARC Map, you will need to copy the default MARC Map, make changes to it, then select the copied MARC Map in Configure MARC Map. For more information, see Copying a MARC Map.

  6. Choose OK to save your changes, or choose Cancel to discard your changes and return to Search Fields.
