Deleting MARC Frameworks
Hi there, As I don't have a librarian handy, while going through working things out I set up additional MARC Frameworks to mirror the Item Types (of which we defined 15). Now that I understand what's involved with MARC Frameworks better, I see that this is not necessary so I'm trying to delete some of these unnecessary frameworks. Whichever one I select says "This framework is used 312 times." and won't delete. It can't be that the framework is used by 312 different records, because there's only 20-odd items in the catalogue at the moment. Does this refer to the different MARC fields it the framework? Could someone please explain this message and how one would go about deleting unneeded MARC Frameworks? Thanks -ramon.
Hi Ramon, One can not delete the "Default" Framework, yet can delete the other frameworks that have been created. The message you read does not refer to records in your database but to the MARC21 tags and subfield setup in that framework. You can delete the unwanted framework/s from .....cgi-bin/koha/admin/biblio_framework.pl. Click on delete and confirm. Best wishes.

Cool. Figured it was something like that. Wouldn't have even dreamed of going after the Default framework, just some of the others. Just maybe I'm beginning to understand this a bit. Thanks, -ramon. On 31/03/2008, at 8:21 PM, Irma wrote:
