Revise display logic so that collection names do not display as corporate authors
Based on the MARC 21 standards, collection names are in the 710 field. For example:
710 2 Alumni Ph.D./Th.D. Collection (Princeton Theological Seminary)
As in https://catalog.ptsem.edu/record=b3319515~S1
This is a typical way that most libraries handle their collection names. However, the current Summon mapping and display rules result in the collection name appearing as the author in the search results when there is not a main author for the work: https://go.exlibris.link/DZxpskWX

According to Support, based on the metadata mapping schema, which outlines how each field in the MARC record is mapped to the corresponding field in the Summon record, the following mapping logic applies for authors:
Summon Field Name: Author
Corresponding MARC Fields: 100 $a$b$c; 700 $a$b$c
Summon Field Name: Corporate Author
Corresponding MARC Fields: 110$a $b $c $n, 710$a $b $c $n
I have reviewed several examples:
1. https://go.exlibris.link/zHxVBw6d
2. https://go.exlibris.link/XRlLnyPV
3. https://go.exlibris.link/DZxpskWX
4. https://go.exlibris.link/4KwqJ0nV
All examples have "Alumni Ph.D./Th.D. Collection (Princeton Theological Seminary)" in the "Corporate Author" field in the Summon record because it is present in the corresponding 710$a MARC field
- Examples 1 and 2 do not display the Corporate Author because they have a primary author.
- Examples 3 and 4 display the Corporate Author as there is no main author listed.
We feel that if there is no 1xx, but only 7xx, then Summon ought to recognize that there isn't a main author and not try to display anything in the author field. When there is a 1xx with multiple 7xx, Summon should look at the relationship field in the $e or exclude anything with a $5 from being an author. (There are some exceptions, which is why there needs to be someone with library metadata experience writing the logic.)
Primo doesn't seem to display the collection names as corporate authors. Can Summon be configured likewise?

We are currently working with Support to accomplish this with a script in the Custom Panels, https://knowledge.exlibrisgroup.com/Summon/Knowledge_Articles/What_kinds_of_things_can_a_library_put_in_Summon_Custom_Panels%3F#Create_a_Hidden_Panel_To_Run_Additional_JavaScript_without_Referencing_a_Hosted_File
