Editing indicators

To edit a tag's indicator, click on the indicator button. (If there are no defined

values for that indicator, a message appears asking if you want to proceed.) The

Edit Indicator dialog appears:

Either type the indicator value

in the text box and click OK

or doubleclick on the value.

Be sure to set the indicator for any nonfiling characters. This ensures that the

application skips the leading article (a, an, the) and indexes the title correctly so

that it is easily found during searches. This is especially important if you selected

to remove articles in search terms (see Setting up miscellaneous Cataloging

options" on page 55).
Common tags that have nonfilingcharacter indicators are the 245, 240, and 440

(2nd indicator), and the 130, 730, and 740 (1st indicator). When entering the

number of nonfiling characters, include the space that follows the leading article.

For example, The Yearling has 4 nonfiling characters (T, H, E, space).

Inserting and deleting subfields 

The information in variable-length tags is divided into subfields. The template

you're using includes the most common subfields for each tag. From that starting

point, you can insert subfields as you need them.
