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,

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 work
ing.

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.
