Delimited Records
                       • Suffix Increment By – If you assign a suffix, type the number of increments you want the

                       records to increase by (for example, 1 increment).
                B. If you are importing bibliographic records, the Duplicates options are available. Choose one of the
                following:
                       • To prevent the import of records that may duplicate existing records, click Don’t allow

                       duplicates. (All fields in two records need not match for the records to be considered
                       duplicates; for example, two bibliographic records may be considered duplicates if just the
                       ISBN field matches.)
                       • To import records that may duplicate existing records, click Allow duplicates.

                       • To be prompted when duplicate records are found during the import process, click Prompt

                       if duplicates are found option. This lets you compare the record you are importing to the
                       existing record, and then decide whether to import the duplicate record.
                C. If you are importing bibliographic records, the Holding Records option is available. If you do not
                want to generate holding records, clear the Generate holding records check box. Otherwise, leave it
                selected.
                D. In the Unicode box, you can choose to convert records to Unicode, convert records to MARC8, or
                not convert records.
                E. In the Default group list, select the group you want the imported data assigned to by default.
                F. If you want to assign a rule to this data, click the Expand View button next to Group Assignment
                Rule.
                       • Select the check box to the left of the first box to activate it. To the right of the box, click the

                       arrow button.
                       • Enter the rule you want assigned. (Example: Type 852k under Field, select Equals, and then

                       type REF under Text.)
                       • Click Add. Add other rules if desired. When finished, click Close.

                       • In the list to the right of the arrow, select the group to assign records to when they meet the

                       rule criteria. (Example: Select Reference Collection to complete the example in step 2.)

        10. When finished, click Finish. While the import processes, a progress bar displays. If a duplicate record
        is found and you selected Prompt if duplicates are found in step 9B, the Bibliographic Compare window
        displays.

        Using the four buttons, you have the following choices:
                • Save Existing – Saves the existing record and does not import the duplicate record. All

                corresponding holding records are imported. Result: One bibliographic record with all corresponding
                holding records.
                • Replace Existing – Imports the duplicate record and replaces the existing record. All corresponding

                holding records are also imported. Result: One bibliographic record with all corresponding holding
                records.
                • Import – Imports the duplicate record and keeps the existing record. All corresponding holding

                records are also imported and linked to the duplicate bibliographic record. Result: Two bibliographic
                records and two sets of holdings - the existing bibliographic record and its original holdings, and the
                duplicate bibliographic record and its corresponding holdings.
                • Do not Import – Does not import the duplicate record. Result: The bibliographic record and its

                holding records remain the same.

        Tip: Select the Don’t show
        this window again check box
        before clicking a button to
        apply the action to the
        displayed record and all

                                                                © 2014 Mandarin Library Automation, Inc. All rights reserved.  114 of 192
