Hi, there are several options, depending a bit on how many items you have. You can use the batch item edit tool or you could change the field in the database using SQL. SQL would probably be a good option in this case, but should always be used very carefully.
In any case you should run the script to make sure that the cn_sort is recalculated with for your new classification scheme. Katrin On 30.12.20 00:51, Inês M. Ferreira wrote:
Thank you very much for your reply. I do have one question.How do I bulk edit all items to the right code?

You can also check the various shelf browser prefs to make sure that your new locations are taken into account. For the classification source: The DefaultClassificationSource preference will change the default on your item framework. It will not change your existing items. I'd set it now to make sure new items get catalogued with UDC right from the start. The classification source used for an item determines how the cn_sort feld (sorting form of the callnumber) is generated and stored in the database. So once you have bulk edited all your items to the right code, you will probably also want to run misc <https://git.koha-community.org/Koha-community/Koha/src/branch/master/misc>/maintenance <https://git.koha-community.org/Koha-community/Koha/src/branch/master/misc/maintenance>/touch_all_items.pl to regenerate the sorting form.

I have only found out about the setting DefaultClassificationSource a few days ago, and it is set as Dewey (I didn’t change it because I would rather change everything, including all 1000+ items, at once).
