+ | RECORD DISPLAY OPTIONS | ||
+ | This screen contains some options that control how MARC data is displayed in MARC Report. | ||
+ | |||
+ | All of the options on this page can be changed while a record is being reviewed or edited. Some display options may require navigation to the next/ | ||
+ | |||
+ | SORT TAGS | ||
+ | |||
+ | If checked, which is the default, the MARC record will be sorted in tag order when viewing records in Record-by-Record mode, and when editing records in an Edit session. | ||
+ | |||
+ | In Record-by-Record mode, sorting has no effect on the underlying MARC file--only the display is sorted, not the file itself. But in an Edit Session, if this option is checked, all records that are to be saved (according to your Edit Session options) will be sorted in tag order. | ||
+ | |||
+ | NOTE: Records that are processed in Batch Mode, or by one of the utilities distributed with MARC Report, are never sorted, unless there is an explicit option to do so (as there is in MARC Global, and the Verify utility, for example). | ||
+ | |||
+ | DISPLAY TAG OCCURRENCES | ||
+ | |||
+ | If checked, this option inserts the tag's occurrence number after the Tag and before the First Indicator in the MARC record display. This option is disabled by default, since showing the occurrence number takes up a little extra space on the form. The occurrence number is also grayed out to make reading the other numeric columns (Tag, Indicators) easier. | ||
+ | |||
+ | DISPLAY TITLE IN FORM CAPTION | ||
+ | |||
+ | If checked, the 245 (title) of the record being viewed will be displayed at the top of the Edit session window, after the program version. | ||
+ | |||
+ | DISPLAY MARC POSITIONS IN FF LABELS | ||
+ | |||
+ | If selected, this option pre-prends the offset of the fixed field element to its label (on the fixed field panel at the top). For example, an 008 would display these labels if this option is selected: | ||
+ | |||
+ | 00/Date Entrd. | ||
+ | 06/Date Type | ||
+ | 07/Date 1 | ||
+ | 11/Date 2 | ||
+ | |||
+ | and these if this option is not selected: | ||
+ | |||
+ | Date Entrd. | ||
+ | Date Type | ||
+ | Date 1 | ||
+ | Date 2 | ||
+ | |||
+ | INCREASE SIZE OF FF LABELS | ||
+ | |||
+ | If this option (added in 247) is selected, a few steps will be taken to increase the display of the fixed field panel: | ||
+ | * Label sizes are increased by 1 point | ||
+ | * The ' | ||
+ | * The bottom splitter bar will automatically resize the height of the fixed panel as needed (the width, however, may need to be manually adjusted) | ||

+ | This option works well at a standard dekstop resolution, but probably does not help too much on a laptop with a cinematic widescreen ratio. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ADD SPACE AFTER INDICATORS IN TEXT FORMAT | ||
+ | |||
+ | Select this option to add a blank space after the second indicator in text records. This option will apply to: Printing records (File|Print), | ||
+ | |||
+ | DOUBLECLICK GOES TO URL | ||
+ | |||
+ | When there is an url in MARC field, and you want to browse to it, there are now (as of version 246), two ways to do it. | ||
+ | |||
+ | 1. Double-click on the field | ||
+ | 2. Press < | ||
+ | |||
+ | In either case, the field must be selected in order for the desired browsing action to take place. | ||
+ | |||
+ | About double-click | ||
+ | |||
+ | Double-clicking on an url is a common way of telling an application to browse to that url. This behavior is controlled by the DOUBLECLICK GOES TO URL option, enabled by default, on the Record Display page of the Options. | ||
+ | |||
+ | When double-clicking, | ||
+ | |||
+ | If there is no url in a field being double-clicked, | ||
+ | |||
+ | TEXT SUBFIELD DELIMITER | ||
+ | |||
+ | This option allows you to change the character that will be used to display the MARC subfield delimiter in both onscreen views and reports. Since in MARC this character is a non-printing ' | ||
+ | |||
+ | NOTE: This option controls only the character that is displayed; MARC records will always be saved with the MARC delimiter value (ASCII 029). | ||
+ | |||
+ | START CURSOR ON TAG | ||
+ | |||
+ | This option is set to ' | ||
+ | |||
+ | If a tag is entered into this box, however, then the program will position the cursor on the first occurrence of this tag and set focus on it. This means that your next keystroke will begin navigatation in the MARC record (so if you press <Tab> then the cursor will move to the next MARC ' | ||
+ | |||
+ | This option may be useful when you are editing a batch of records and always want to start working on the same tag; or, it may also help if you prefer to navigate using the keyboard without first using the mouse to position the cursor in the MARC display. | ||
+ | |||
+ | NOTES ABOUT MARC HELP | ||
+ | |||
+ | MARC Help, invoked by pressing F1 in MARC Report, is designed to give the cataloger a quick overview of the coding for the field in question. MARC Help is essentially a tabular version, without examples, of the ' | ||
+ | |||
+ | However, more detailed documentation, | ||
+ | |||
+ | ENABLE MARC HELP-- VIA F1 | ||
+ | |||
+ | This option is selected by default. When this option is checked, pressing the <F1> key while validating or editing a MARC record will display MARC documentation about the field currently under the cursor. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ENABLE CELL HINTS | ||
+ | |||
+ | When editing, and a field in a record is too large to be displayed in its entirety (for example, a long 505), the default behavior is to pop-up the field in a cell hint when the mouse is moved over it. Although this pop-up only lasts a second or two, it might be distracting, | ||
+ | |||
+ | DISPLAY PROGRAM HINTS IN NOTES AREA | ||
+ | |||
+ | If selected (the default), this option will display a rotating sequence of program hints in the Notes window (on the bottom right) when you are editing or viewing records in MARC Report. Uncheck this option to stop the display of these hints. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Alternately, | ||
+ | |||
+ | Use a Text Editor like NOTEPAD to edit the file and follows these simple rules: | ||
+ | 1. Empty lines, or lines that begin with a blank space or tab, will be ignored. | ||
+ | 2. Each hint must consist on a single line (to turn off Line Wrap to make this easier to see). | ||
+ | 3. Each hint must contain no more than 350 characters (as there is no scroll bar in the Notes window). | ||
+ | 4. You can enter up to 20 'Note tips'. | ||
+ | |||
+ | You can edit this file any time, but you will need to restart the program for changes to be recognized. If you want to restore this file to its default, copy it from the ' | ||
+ | |||
+ | RE-ENCODE CLIPBOARD PASTES | ||
+ | |||
+ | Pasting clipboard data into a MARC record is problematic. MARC21 supports two encodings: MARC-8 and UTF-8. In Windows, data copied to the clipboard will often use another encoding (typically, Windows-1252, | ||
+ | |||
+ | The option to ' | ||
+ | |||
+ | To help you decide whether this function will work correctly in your environment, | ||
+ | |||
+ | In version 255, the re-encoding that occurs only supports the (128) most common Unicode characters. To see which characters are supported, open the file named ' | ||
+ | |||
+ | Note: This option will only be active when leader 09 of a record is set to ' | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | PRIMARY DISPLAY FONT | ||
+ | |||
+ | This option display the currently activated Font Name and Font Size, followed by an example of a MARC title field displayed using the Current Font. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ALTERNATE FONT | ||
+ | |||
+ | This option allows you to setup a different font that the program will use when printing a record and/or the accompanying cataloging error messages. | ||
+ | |||
+ | CHANGE FONT | ||
+ | |||
+ | Click this button to set the display font used by MARC Report. The default Display Font is ' | ||
+ | |||
+ | We recommend that you choose a 'fixed pitch' font like the default, or a Courier font, when working with MARC coding. If you need to be able to differentiate betwween the number zero, and an uppercase letter o, use the 'Fixed Sys' font. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Note: Some font Styles and Sizes may not be available in MARC Report. | ||
+ | |||
+ | DISPLAY OF DIACRITICS | ||
+ | |||
+ | The 'MARC View' of MARC Report displays diacritics using the default system code page, and this is unlikely to display diacritics in a recognizable manner. To view diacritics, use the 'XML View' of the program. |
