MARC Format Display PolicyMARC Format Display PolicyThe MARC Format Display policy is a Global Configuration policy that is read by the WorkFlows client at startup and stored as a global variable. This policy determines whether or not the system will display only MARC 21 formats, only UNIMARC formats, or both MARC21 and UNIMARC formats in the client.
The MARC Format Display policy appears on the Cataloging tab of the Global Configuration wizard. The default value for this policy appears in the Select a Policy window. To modify this value, select MARC Format Display and click Modify. Click a radio button to select one of the policy attributes. Click Save to save your selection. The default value is Display MARC21 Formats.
For more information about UNIMARC formats, see FAQs: Working with UNIMARC Formats.
