What are indication rules?

Answer

Indication Rules are used to identify bibliographic (bib) records that need to be edited or enhanced based on the conditions in an indication rule. Indication rules do not make changes to bib records. 

Indication rules are used to filter title sets (logical or itemized) to find bib records that meet the condition of the indication rule. A new set is created as a subset of the original set based on the results of the indication rule.

 

The following steps are used to create and apply an indication rule to a set:

  1. Open the MD Editor
  2. Click on New>Placement Options
  3. Click on the Local radio button for the "Placement of new rules"
