Hi Michael, what you describes feels like a bit of a risky change. Instead of undoing your itemtype configuration, I'd probably try to change the facet configuration instead or try to regroup/rewrite the facets using jQuery. There has also been a bug reported about this: *Bug 19891* <https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=19891> - itemtypecat should show categories in refine search (facets) and item details, not itypes https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=19891 Hope this helps, Katrin On 14.04.20 09:52, Michael Kuhn wrote:

Hi

In Koha menu "Administration > Item types" you can create item types and group them as search categories. Our library wants to show its facets according to the existing 4 search categories instead of the 22 item types.

In our library we have 22 item types like the following:

Code: ASO Description: Aufsatz // Sammelband [online] Search category: Online Ressource

Code: AUF Description: Aufsatz // Sammelband [print] Search category: Aufsatz

Code: AZO Description: Aufsatz // Zeitschrift [online] Search category: Online Ressource

Code: AZP Description: Aufsatz // Zeitschrift [print] Search category: Aufsatz

The facets do show these item types according to their descriptions, thus

Aufsatz // Sammelband [online] Aufsatz // Sammelband [print] Aufsatz // Zeitschrift [online] Aufsatz // Zeitschrift [print]

But the library would like to have facets just like the following according to the search category:

Aufsatz Online Ressource

As I found in the Zebra configuration the facets are actually using the content of MARC 942$c (the code of the item type) and displays the respective description. Actually I don't see a way how to use the search category instead - but maybe there is one, that we can't see?

My solution would be to

* create new item type codes according to the current search categories * delete the current search categories * change all bibliographic records using SQL (still to be written...) by putting all content of MARC 942$c/952$y in another field (e. g. 942$d) and instead fill 942$c/952$y with the new item type code

Do you maybe have a better idea to achieve our goal?
