The Depreciation/appreciation table is set up as a list of pattern matches that correspond to values in an items statistical category. The pattern match is used to determine which Depreciation/appreciation format to use to determine the percentage and minimum price. The pattern is defined either by listing all of the characters allowed, or by Cachι pattern matching.
After choosing this option you are presented with an overview screen listing the codes already defined.
: Click this icon to add a new format. You will be presented with the following form:
Format: This is a dropdown list of the Depreciation/appreciation formats defined on the system. . The Format field may only be entered for a new pattern.
Pattern format: You may choose either
· Specify each character
- Each character in the code is specified, separated by |. If a character may have several values, separate them with a comma. * is used to indicate that any value may match in this character position.
· Pattern matching.
- This uses the Cachι pattern matching rules
Pattern: The pattern textbox is where you enter the details of your pattern. If an items statistical category matches the defined pattern, the Format defined in the first field is used to determine the depreciation percentage.
For the example above, any items with statistical category equal to 00200 or 00400 match to the JR format which, in turn, means that the price for these items is depreciated 10% each year to a minimum price of 7.00.
The system checks to make sure that you have not defined overlapping patterns in any of the existing entries when you click OK. You can see the details of the overlap by using the Test button. The Test button will show you which statistical codes match your pattern. It will also show if there are any overlaps.
The test for overlaps compares the statistical categories that match your pattern with the statistical categories that match other patterns. If addition statistical categories are defined later, it is possible that an overlap may occur then.
: Select an existing code and click this icon to modify it.
: Select an existing code and click this icon to delete it.
Example:
In the first example, a statistical category of 00600, 00700, 00800 or 00900 matches to the AF format. In the second example, the blank in digit 3 means that any value in that third position of the statistical category is valid. Any statistical category matching the pattern 01?00 (where ? = digit from 0 to 9) also matches to the AF format.
Multipart/serial defaults are set up at the system level and are used to create default type of holding information.
After choosing this option an input screen is displayed:
Holdings format - is display only and contains the holdings format (UNIMARC or MARC21) that is in use by the system. This cannot be changed once the system is installed but it is possible to non-interactively assign a different holdings format to one or more specific databases.
Enumeration captions are used to default caption information when creating a new type of holding during the Holdings maintenance (AFO 111) workflow process. You should define a caption for each level of enumeration that you want to use. A caption will normally print as a prefix to the actual enumeration value. This is done according to the punctuation rules set out in the holdings standard (i.e. Z39.71). If you do not wish to have a caption print as a prefix, simply enclose the caption in ( ) or [ ]. Make sure that you include the . as part of the defined caption (i.e. v. not v).
Chronology captions - are used to default caption information when creating a new type of holding during the Holdings maintenance (AFO 111) workflow process. You should define a caption for each level of chronology that you want to use. A caption will normally print as a prefix to the actual chronology value. This is done according to the punctuation rules set out in the holdings standard (i.e. z39.71). If you do not wish to have a caption print as a prefix, simply enclose the caption in ( ) or [ ].
Example
If you have the March 2005 issue of a publication numbered 18:3, the system will display the numbering (enumeration and chronology) of the issue as v.18:no..3(2005:MAR). This example is based on the punctuation defined in the Z39.71 standard.
Use fixed type of holding in Holdings management if set, the system will automatically create a type of holding and publication pattern (bypassing the Type of holding form) in Holdings maintenance using the values in the corresponding Description, OPAC label, Enumeration and Chronology fields. This is the simplest way to enter your multipart holdings. If you wish to be prompted to enter descriptions and OPAC labels for type of holdings on your multipart records in AFO 111, leave this field unchecked.
Description for fixed type of holding the description defaulted into the description field for type of holding records automatically created by the system.
OPAC label for fixed type of holding - the OPAC label defaulted into the the OPAC label field for type of holding records automatically created by the system.
After choosing this option you are presented with an overview screen listing the codes already defined.
: choose this option to add a new category. An input form will be displayed:
Statistical category - The code must be unique. Valid entries contain a combination of characters A-Z, numbers 0-9 only. Punctuation, lowercase characters, space and characters with diacritics are not accepted as valid codes. Maximum length for the category code is 40.
Description Descriptive wording for the statistical category. Punctuation, diacritics and spaces are allowed in the description. Maximum length for the description is 150.
: select a code and then this option to change the description. The input form is similar to the one described above.
: choose this option to browse quickly through a long list of codes. An input form will be displayed:
This option will display the screen containing the first occurrence of the text entered.
Enter a code or part of a code into the Statistical category to find the first occurrence of this string as a code.
OR
Enter text into the Description field to find the first occurrence of this string used in the description field.
Note
If there is an entry in the code and the description, the code portion will take precedence in the result presented.
: This option globally replaces the selected statistical category with the replacement category selected from the drop down list.
The process will check all items on the system and replace the statistical code as specified for the item statistical category. This process can be used to delete a code which is no longer in use by reassigning the current statistical categories to a new value. The process can be executed while the system is active. A messsage will be displayed:
Once the processing has been completed, the original statistical code is removed from the list of defined statistical categories.
