If this option is selected, the field group tag will automatically be corrected when you exit a MARC field whose MARC tag and/or indicators have been updated.
Example: change MARC tag 110 (field group tag 'a') to 710 (field group tag 'b').
Before the change:
After the change - the field group tag is updated as soon as you exit the field (record not saved at this stage):
The editor uses the appropriate m2btab.fse.* load table to find the association between field group tags and MARC tags/indicators for bibliographic, item and holdings/checkin records (the asterisk represents a possible extension, such as m2btab.fse.uni for UNIMARC bibliographic records, or m2btab.fse.i for item records). Some systems do not have a m2btab.fse.* table, in which case m2btab.b.* will be used instead.
The load table used for authority records is primarily m2btab.anam.* or m2btab.asub.*, depending on authority type (the asterisk represents a possible extension, such as m2btab.anam.chi for Chinese MARC). On some systems, m2btab.a.* is used instead.
Load tables can be viewed via character based system menus:
M > MANAGEMENT information
I > INFORMATION about the system
C > CODES used
M > MARC load tables
[select appropriate table depending on record type and MARC type]
If the MARC tag is not defined in the load table, and no field group can be found, a question mark - '?' - is placed as the field group tag, and when you save the record you will be asked to select a tag:
The update of field group tags will happen whether or not you choose to show the field group information
