Provide ability to "Catalog set" and "Filter set" on sets of authorities
Under 'Manage Sets' we are able to send sets of less than 30 bibliographic records directly to the Metadata Editor by clicking 'Catalog set'. We can also filter sets of less than 30 bibliographic records using indication rules by clicking "Filter set". These functionalities are not available for sets of authority records.
Existing authorities often will not be available to cataloguers using F3 if there are any coding mismatches from what Alma expects. This is much too big of a job to handle manually.
It would greatly improve authority control, especially cleaning up old authorities, to be able to filter authority sets to target issues and send the authority records directly to the MD Editor.
For better management of local authority records, the following new options are now available:
Catalog Set – A set of local authorities records can be opened in the MD Editor for cataloging.
Filter Set – You can filter a set of local authority records using indication rules to create a subset of records with only the records that pass the indication rules conditions.
