Wishing you a good day, I tried adding the Geographic Name authority to 260$a tag and CHRON_TERM authority to 260$b tag by adding the authorities in the respective thesaurus field in the bibliographic framework. Then I imported some data using the framework. Records were created but it seems that authorities were not created. Because when i try searching for entered authorities, the search does not return any result. I have the global system parameters of AutoCreateAuthorities = Generate BiblioAddsAuthorities = Add The other authorities are working fine. Do I have to do some more customization for GEOGR_NAME and CHRON_TERM authorities. With thanks & best regards, Naveen Ali ITM-JE (EAKL) Inst Representative for HEC Digital Library Resources.

Second, traditionally name and place of publication are *not* authority controlled in MARC21. However, it may be your local decision. That said, have you already explored and found that Koha's Authorised values not doing what you want? Authorised values for 260$a and 260$ may be a better fit and you will also benefit from automatic filtering of the values as your cataloguers do their work. However, if you still want to use MARC21 authority control for 260$a and 260$b, you really DO NOT need to create new authority types as mentioned in the wiki page you have referred to. The place of publication can work as a Geographic Name authority and the publisher can work as a Corporate name authority as per Koha's standard authority frameworks. Stepping outside these perimeters will mean you will have to have to get your hands dirty with CCL queries, debugging zebra indexes and Koha's search internals. All the best going ahead. By the way, "Koha" is a proper noun and not and acronym, and thus it is incorrect to uppercase it as KOHA :-) Cheers -idg On Mon, 30 May, 2022, 12:51 pm Ms. Naveen Ali, <naveen@neduet.edu.pk> wrote:
Dear All, I am trying to create new authority types in KOHA 21.11 on Ubuntu 20.04. I am following this documentation Create new authority type - Koha Wiki ( https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Create_new_authority_type ) In the section on Zebra,
* I cannot understand how the att numbers are defined * I cannot follow the next two steps, which require record.abs file. I cannot find the file. Neither the one in biblios nor in authorities folder. I need to create two authorities, namely, publisher and place of publication to accommodate my existing data which I will be migrating to KOHA.
Support will be greatly appreciated
