How to edit display fields

Original Ex Libris documentation 

You will need the Discovery Administrator role to make these changes.

After completing all edits, click Apply Rules to ensure your changes take effect.
  1. Alma Configuration -> Discovery -> Display Configuration -> Manage display and local fields
    1. If field to edit exists in list, click on ellipse button, select Edit
      1. Click on ellipse button next to: MARC21 normalization rule for display and choose Edit
      2. Copy and paste the new rule text, or edit as appropriate.
      3. Click Save button when finished
    2. If field does not exist in list, click on Add Field, then Add Display Field if editing an OOTB rule, or Add local field if creating a brand new field.
      1. Add Display Field
        1. Select Field to Edit from drop-down list. If the field you want doesn’t appear, this is not an OOTB rule.
        2. Click ellipse button next to: MARC21 normalization rule for display, select Edit
        3. Make edits to the existing rule, or copy-and-paste rule to replace the default rule. You can click Restore Default to revert to original rule if needed, but this will only restore the original Ex Libris rule and not the most recent rule.

        4. Save when finished

           

      2. Add local field
        1. For Field to Edit, choose a local field (e.g. local_field_23).
        2. Fill out Display Label to name field whatever you want to display (e.g. Degree)
        3. Click on Enable search/facet checkboxes if you’d like this field to be available for search or facets.
        4. Click ellipse button next to: MARC21 normalization rule for display, select Edit
        5. Make edits to the existing rule, or copy-and-paste rule to replace the default rule. You can click Restore Default to revert to original rule if needed, but this will only restore the original Ex Libris rule and not the most recent rule.

        6. Save when finished

           

  2. Remember to click Apply Rules when work is complete.

If this is a new rule for this system (e.g. you just created subject for the first time), you need to make sure that the new rule is connected to something in the display, as outlined on this page.
