[Koha] Koha suppression of records

[Margo Duncan]

Linda,

Yes, that's right.  You should be able to see that in your Authorized Values.  I've attached a screenshot of ours.

Margo,
Thanks for the reply.  We were discussing that possibility and I was wondering if having anything in the 942 subfield n suppressed it or does it have to be a "1"?  So is it unsuppressed if it's a "0"?

I really appreciate your help.
Linda
