C/W MARS is looking at potential development on this function and is looking for community comment.
*Idea:* Ability to set parts order * * *Description:* Parts are currently appearing in no real discernible order. We would like to be able to define the order in which they appear. * * *Expected Functionality* · From the bibliographic record, provide a menu option on the manage parts screen of actions for this record to set the order of parts on this screen. · A default sort order will be defined by an alpha sort of the label_sortkey in the monograph_part table. · Parts will display on holdings in the TPAC and holdings maintenance in the order defined through the manage parts screen. This sort order will occur after sorting by organizational unit, prefix, call number, and suffix. *Use Cases * A cataloger splits up a title “My Movie Set” into a 12 disk with its own part assigned. The parts include and should display in the following order. · Disk 1 · Disk 2 · Disk 3 · ... · Disk 8 · Disk 9 · Disk 10 · Disk 11 · Disk 12 Similarly, we have Woman’s Day with parts for each issue received as well as a copy record for each issue that is holdable and would like them to display in date order: · JAN 2013 · FEB 2013 · MAR 2013 See also Field & Stream ( https://bark.cwmars.org/eg/opac/record/140662?fi%3Aitem_type=;query=field%20and%20stream;qtype=jtitle;locg=32;) as an example of how it is now. -- Tim Spindler Manager of Library Applications tspind...@cwmars.org 508-755-3323 x20 C/W MARS, Inc. 67 Millbrook St, Suite 201 Worcester, MA 01606 http://www.cwmars.org *P** Go Green - **Save a tree!
