[Koha] Very, very beginner question: Followup

[C.S. Hayward]

Thank you all!

Looking forward to applying advice received,

Br. C.S. Hayward, author and apologist, and more importantly novice at St. Demetrios Orthodox Monastery (monastery webshop, oKyrios social net)

I invite you to visit my official author site (author bio, bookshelf). One title is Happiness in an Age of Crisis: Ancient Wisdom from the Eastern Orthodox Church.

My newest posting is What to Own for Happiness (and what not).

This is after clicking on "New Record" and navigating to the 100's tab. What should I be doing to be allowed to manually enter an individual or corporate author's name?

(One respondent, for instance, mentioned "Oxford" as the text of a hyperlink that I assume is what I will want to enter in the appropriate place. Same for a URL for the General Theological Seminary.)

Would it be appropriate to click on "New Record," populate a record with the fields I have (possibly incomplete) and then try to save, navigating to any mandatory fields I haven't filled in?
