Using tables to insert codes
In This Topic
To help you when editing a record you can display a table of the valid country codes, geographic area codes, general material designations, language codes, RDA codes and RDA terms. For example, if you’re adding tag 041 (the language code) in a record, you might want to display the table of valid codes.
Let's see an example.
- Click New Tag. This displays the Select Field box.
- Type the tag you want, then select it from the dropdown list and click OK. We'll use tag 041 in this example.
- Click Edit, point to Insert Table Code and then click the option you want. In this example we'll click Language Codes.
- Do one of the following.
- Click Code to sort the table alphabetically by code. If you enter text in the box at the top of the dialog then you will search the codes.
- Click Text to sort the table alphabetically by text. If you enter text in the box at the top of the dialog then you will search the text.
- Click to select the code you want, and then click OK to insert this code in the subfield.
