Automatic dismissal of corrected authorities from the Authority Control Task List.
Automatic dismissal of corrected authorities from the Authority Control Task List.
Improve the Authority Control Task List linking functionality so that when an authority is upgraded/corrected in the metadata editor, it is automatically dismissed from the Task List. Items are added to the Task List before an institution has had a chance to upgrade the catalogue record. Many of these authorities will routinely be upgraded at the cataloguing stage. The need to then manually remove substandard authorities from the Task List which no longer exist in the bibliographic records adds a huge burden of extra work, especially for large institutions. Could the system regularly check the Authority Control Task List by MMS ID and remove items no longer linked to a bibliographic record?

This would be extremely useful for records which have subsequently been deleted from the system since the time a record was picked up in the ATL.
