Using this menu option conforms to the MARC 21 Format for Holdings Data standard which allows separate patterns on one checkin card for issues, supplements, and indexes. If you set up separate patterns then an 'S' or an 'I' is added in the corner of a box to distinguish supplements and indexes from issues. You also have an option to specify the "OPAC label" for these boxes when you define the Captions & Patterns or from the Supplements or Index tab of the Card in Tools | Card menu | Edit card. This OPAC label does not show in the staff view of the box.

NOTE: You must set up the supplement/index caption & pattern before you can insert boxes for supplements & indexes. You will be prompted to do this when you insert your first supplement or index box.
