"Indicators to skip" should apply to single portfolio records
When importing electronic portfolios through repository import there is an option to specify a MARC-field containing the URL to the resource. When configured, Alma extracts the URL from the first occurrence of that field, which might or might not be the desired full text URL.
Next to this option is another option, "Indicators to skip", that looks like it could be used to specify further which occurrences of the field to ignore and which to use for the URL extraction, but this option is only taken in consideration for "multiple portfolios" imports.
As the probably most likely source for an URL is the 856 field, which is repeatable and where indicators can be used to describe the relationship between the URL and the resource, the option to select or ignore fields by indicators should apply also to single portfolio records.
The current implementation requires preprocessing of records external to Alma even when the incoming records already are valid MARC records that clearly specifies which URL is the full text.
