Add separate fields in Analytics for valid (020 $a) and invalid (020 $z) ISBNs
At present Analytics displays all ISBNs recorded in a bib record in a single field, whether valid (020 $a), i.e. the true and accurate ISBN for the manifestation recorded, or invalid (020 $z), i.e. an incorrect ISBN or an ISBN for an alternative manifestation.
It would be useful to be able to search and display these separately (for matching using collection management tools, etc.).
The ISBN valid and ISSN valid fields were added to Titles > Bibliographic IDs.
For MARC 21, ISBN valid contains only 020 subfield a and ISSN valid contains only 022 subfield a.
For UNIMARC, The ISBN valid contains only 010 subfield a and ISSN valid contains only 011 subfield a.
For more information please see Alma December Release Notes

Though I would be ok with just being able to pull out only valid ISBNs and ISSNs (meaning a separate field from the existing ISBN and Normalized ISBN fields that only contains ISBNs in the subfield a).

It sounds like what the original poster of this idea wants is both an "ISBN 020 a" AND an "ISBN 020 z", as well as "ISSN 022 a" and "ISSN 022 z."

Hello please confirm that the following is what is desired thank you:
Create two new indexes in Alma then use them also in Alma analytics.
They will be called "ISBN 020 a" and "ISSN 022 a"
"ISBN 020 a" will include only 020 field and only subfield a
"ISSN 022 a" will include only 022 field and only subfield aIn Alma Analytics these will be added to the "Bibliographic details" shared folder.
