Hi Michael,

what you describes feels like a bit of a risky change. Instead of
undoing your itemtype configuration, I'd probably try to change the
facet configuration instead or try to regroup/rewrite the facets using
jQuery.

There has also been a bug reported about this:

*Bug 19891*
<https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=19891> -
itemtypecat should show categories in refine search (facets) and item
details, not itypes
https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=19891

Hope this helps,

Katrin

Hi

In Koha menu "Administration > Item types" you can create item types
and group them as search categories. Our library wants to show its
facets according to the existing 4 search categories instead of the 22
item types.

In our library we have 22 item types like the following:

Code: ASO
Description: Aufsatz // Sammelband [online]
Search category: Online Ressource

Code: AUF
Description: Aufsatz // Sammelband [print]
Search category: Aufsatz

Code: AZO
Description: Aufsatz // Zeitschrift [online]
Search category: Online Ressource

Code: AZP
Description: Aufsatz // Zeitschrift [print]
Search category: Aufsatz

The facets do show these item types according to their descriptions, thus

Aufsatz // Sammelband [online]
Aufsatz // Sammelband [print]
Aufsatz // Zeitschrift [online]
Aufsatz // Zeitschrift [print]

But the library would like to have facets just like the following
according to the search category:

Aufsatz
Online Ressource

As I found in the Zebra configuration the facets are actually using
the content of MARC 942$c (the code of the item type) and displays the
respective description. Actually I don't see a way how to use the
search category instead - but maybe there is one, that we can't see?

My solution would be to

* create new item type codes according to the current search categories
* delete the current search categories
* change all bibliographic records using SQL (still to be written...)
by putting all content of MARC 942$c/952$y in another field (e. g.
942$d) and instead fill 942$c/952$y with the new item type code

Do you maybe have a better idea to achieve our goal?

Best wishes: Michael
