Configure MARC Settings lets you assign a MARC Map to a specific search field for this Discovery source site. When you set up any search field, you can specify a default MARC Map that SirsiDynix Portfolio uses to know what data is associated with the search field. You can override the default MARC Map associated with a particular search field by assigning a different MARC Map to the search field specifically for this Discovery source site.

If you add or edit the settings for a Discovery source site, you must refresh the Discovery search cache afterwards. Your changes are not reflected in Searching or the Admin console until you refresh the search cache. (For more information about refreshing the Discovery search cache, see Refreshing the search cache.)

Discovery Source Name

Displays the name of the Discovery search source for which you are editing a Discovery source site.

Discovery Source Site Name

Displays the name of the Discovery source site to which you are configuring MARC settings.

Custom MARC Maps

Specifies a list of any custom MARC Maps that have been assigned to specific search fields.

The list displays this information:

Option	Description
Name	Displays the name of the search field.
Code	Displays the code for the search field.
MARC Map	Specifies the MARC Map associated with this search field. By default, SirsiDynix Portfolio delivers a series of pre-defined MARC Maps. (For descriptions of each MARC Map, see Search fields and associated MARC Maps) If you choose the “Use Search Field Default” option, SirsiDynix Portfolio will apply the MARC Map that the individual search field is configured to use by default. (For information on setting the default MARC Map for a specific search field, see Fields: Configure Default MARC Map .)
