[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] TPAC Main search drop down

[Thomas Berezansky]

Still in the MARC Coded Value Maps editor, they are additional options  
within it when available.

Thanks Thomas,

That sounds interesting but I'm not following where those options are.

If available I recommend using the OPAC Visible, Search Label, and "Is

Simple Selector" options. The latter puts the option above a "--" line

to keep it at the top and is most useful with "code" values that are
comma delimited sets (like, say, "a,t" to get both kinds of language
material). Turning OPAC Visible off will hide values without needing
to delete them, and the Search Label overrides Value for the search
boxes but allows the MARC values to appear in reports if they are
based on reading things from the value maps as a translator for human

benefit.
