+====== How to: Import a MARC Authority record for a Work ======
+===== Quick Steps =====
+  * First, find the Work record that you wish to import
+    * Click <F3> to open the [[details:searchandretrieval|RIMMF Search & Retrieve Tool]]
+    * Find and select the record you wish to import
+    * Click <Import>
+    * //At this time//, If a record:
+        * is already present in your [[menu:entityindex|Entity Index]] then RIMMF does not recognize this and does the below
+        * is not already present in your Entity Index, then RIMMF:
+          * maps as much as possible from the MARC record into a RIMMF record for the Work
+          * looks for headings in the MARC record for related Agent(s); if RIMMF:
+            * does not find any Agent headings in the MARC record, then RIMMF displays the heading for the temporary Work record in an R-Tree, with the checkbox checked (ready for import)
+              * Click <Import | Selected records> to import the Work record
+              * Click <Import | Discard Selected records> to discard the Work record
+            * finds a heading for an Agent in your EI, it checks to see whether a record for the Agent is already in your Entity Index
+              * if the Agent record is in your EI, RIMMF displays an R-Tree showing the heading for the temporary Work record (with the checkbox checked--ready for import) and the heading for the Agent record from the EI (with the checkbox unchecked--not ready for import)
+                * Click <Import | Selected records> to import the Work record only
+                * Click <Import | Discard Selected records> to discard the Work record only
+              * if the Agent record is NOT in your EI, RIMMF looks for a MARC Authority record for the Agent, and if it finds it, maps as much as possible from the MARC record into a RIMMF record for the Agent; if RIMMF doesn't find a MARC Authority record for the Agent, then it creates a temporary Agent record and
+displays an R-Tree showing the heading for the temporary Work record and the heading for the temporary Agent record (with both checkboxes checked--ready for import)
+                * Click <Import | Selected records> to import both the Work and Agent record
+              *  Click <Import | Discard Selected records> to discard both the Work and Agent record
+          * If you <Discard Selected Records> then they are completely discarded
+          * If you <Import | Selected Records> and you invoked <F3>:
+            * from a relationship entity, then that entity will be linked appropriately to the imported record
+            * not from a relationship entity, then the imported record will not be linked to anything
