Linda,

I would change the default for 942$n to 0.  Your staff will then use the 
correct framework, but add changing 942$n to 1 as part of their workflow.

Subject: [Koha] Koha suppression of records

All,
We are having a problem with suppression of newly created records in Koha and 
wonder how others are handling the work flow with newly created records and 
items. We have/had some of our frameworks set up where the default for the 942 
subfield n was 1 so that a record when created would be automatically 
suppressed.  But that record can't be unsuppressed, apparently and stay in that 
framework because when saved, the default setting puts it back to 1  - 
suppressed.  So we were going to then leave the default framework  to be 
unsuppressed, meaning that if a record is "finished" it has be be changed to 
default.  The problem is the the 952 fields are set according to framework - 
because we have so many different types of materials and collections that 
adding new items goes much faster when you are in the right framework.  But if 
you change a records framework to add items, then you must remember to change 
it back every time to get it unsuppressed again.  So, our system isn't working
 .

I'm having a hard time convincing the staff this isn't a bug in Koha, that it 
just is the way it works.  So my question is, what does work?

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
