Can globally edited reserve records be individually modified?
SirsiDynix Symphony can globally change values in individual instructor/course reserve record fields for a selected set of records. For example, if an instructor takes a sabbatical and a new instructor is assigned to teach her classes, you can quickly update all of the course records with the new Instructor ID. You can use the global edit fields in the Modify Reserve wizard to change the course records.
