Hello Aida,
I suggest you look here:
https://koha-community.org/manual/latest/en/html/administration.html#edit-framework-fields-and-subfields
Things to look for:
- Mandatory - check the field and subfield for mandatory flags and
remove them if not necessary
- Managed in tab - you can choose 'ignore' to remove the subfield
completely, however, be very cautious because that can cause data loss
- Visibility - uncheck 'Editor' to remove the subfield from the
cataloguing form, unlike the 'Managed in tab: ignore' above, this will
not cause data loss, so is a better choice, in my opinion, if you're not
absolutely sure of what you're doing
Also, when you edit MARC frameworks, make sure to run the test after
https://koha-community.org/manual/latest/en/html/administration.html#marc-bibliographic-framework-test
I hope this helps,
Caroline

Hi everyone,
I'm writing to ask for some help cataloging in Koha. I am having trouble
getting it to save any records without Koha throwing up errors, and while I'm
trying to follow the manual, I'm afraid the amount of information there is
overwhelming. Especially as it's been so long since I used any marc
bibliographic formats.
So, I created a new framework based on the default one and named it Books,
Booklets, Workbooks. I had tried importing records via Z39.50 and had no
success in saving the record because of the errors (especially Tab 4 Series.
I then tried and adding them manually, where I only filled in the relevant
fields - I do not need e.g. the music incipit or a fingerprint identifier for a
hardcopy textbook. It s not possible to delete tags I don't need within the BBW
framework.
The fields I have in our current system are the following; it's very minimal:
Author – person
Author – corporate body
Title
Type of material
Media object URL
Language
Publish date
Publication and manufacture
Physical description
Other authors – person
Content
ISBN
Notes
Subject headings
Uncontrolled subject terms
UDC
For each material copy, I can add the status (for outside loan or reading room
use, lost, withdrawn), location, call number, and inventory number.
How do I customize my framework so I can add my textbooks quickly and easily?
Are there any sections of the manual I should look into more closely? Thank you
in advance!
Best regards
Aida Đikić
