Serial Control Status Wizard

Similar to the Serial Control Category policies, the Serial Control Status policy is used to establish a controlled vocabulary to describe the current status of a serial control record for statistical analysis. The library determines the general purpose of this field, which policy names are allowed, and through configuration files can define the field label for this policy. The Serial Control Status policy is used as selection criteria in reports for generating detailed statistical breakdowns by library-defined characteristics.

The following are the delivered Serial Control Status policies. These delivered values should not be edited or removed.
