Hi Charles,
As far as I know, there is no way to change the records framework in
batch editing.
If I had to do it, I would update the data directly in the database.
The framework is defined as the 'frameworkcode' column of the 'biblio'
table.
Hope that helps !

Hi, all!

I have been looking for an answer to the following question, but I've
been unable to find one: What are the purpose and use of the frameworks?

among other things:
Frameworks are cataloguing "forms". You can use many different ones or just
the default one.

other things:
Frameworks give me the ability to do something I wished my previous catalog
could do but didn't--customized OPAC and staff-side field labels (all the
way down to the subfield level, which is a really nice bonus). While the
"provided" ones focus on format, you have the ability to create brand new
ones, so if you have several collection of "regular old books" that you
would want to which you want to assign and create new frameworks, you can
do so easily.
[etc., etc., etc.]
Thank you both. I understand now.
I do have a follow-up question: Is it possible in Koha to change a
framework of a group records en masse? For example, if I have a group of
747 maps (949 $c = "MAP") but their framework is BKS, can I change the
framework to MAP through Koha in one fell swoop (and if so, how so); or
must I painstakingly change them one at a time?
I have tried exporting them into MarcEdit and importing them anew into
Koha while selecting "Import this batch into the catalog" with "Add new
bibliographic records into this framework:" (select from the dropdown
menu), but the framework for each record remains as it was before the
exporting and importing.
Many thanks.
