There are many reasons why a user may want to edit an existing card. Some include:

• Changing data on the Checkin card fields
• Changing the number of enumeration levels
• Editing parameters for supplements and indexes
• Changing associated Order record
• Changing whether or not Item records can be created during check-in
• Changing the default display of the card in the OPAC

This menu option (Tools | Card menu | Edit card) is available when the card is displaying on the screen and you have authorization to edit checkin records (authorization #144). If you do not have this authorization, you will see the menu option to View card (instead of Edit card).

Editing the card allows you to change any of the card parameters for issues, supplements and indexes. The Edit Card dialog box is almost identical to the Card Creation dialog box except for the beginning cover/expected dates and beginning enumeration boxes that are present in the Card Creation dialog box. All elements of the card that appear in the Edit Card dialog box are changeable.

Note: Changing to or from Semi-Monthly requires a new card

The Edit Card dialog box opens in Simple mode if you created your card in Simple mode, or in Advanced mode if you created your card in Advanced mode. You can change from simple to advanced at any time, but changing from advanced to simple will cancel any of the advanced options you had previously chosen. To edit a card to change the binding parameters, because this title is no longer bound, use the following steps:
