Suppress Rules

The SUPPRESS rules option in Admin Corner allows you to view the conditions under which a record is suppressed from view in public-access functions.

The system suppresses a record if it matches one of the suppress rules. The text within parentheses serves only as a comment and does not display in any part of the system other than the rules table.

For example, in the first rule shown below, bibliographic records are suppressed if the PUB DISP field (a local name for the BCODE3 field) is set to any of the codes 'd', 'n', 'w', 'f', or 't'.

                                   SUPPRESSRL
 1 > RECTYPE is BIBLIOGRAPHIC
     AND PUB DISP = 'd'  ( suppress pub display if bcode3=d )
     OR PUB DISP = 'n'  ( suppress pub display if bcode3=n )
     OR PUB DISP = 'w'  ( suppress pub display if bcode3=w)
     OR PUB DISP = 'f'  ( suppress pub display if bcode3=f)
     OR PUB DISP = 't'  ( suppress pub display if bcode3=t)
 2 > RECTYPE is ORDER
     AND ORIG/DISP = 'n'  ( suppress pub display if code2=n )
     OR ORIG/DISP = 'm'  ( suppress pub display if code2=m)
 3 > RECTYPE is ITEM
     AND ICODE2 = 'n'  ( suppress pub display if icode2=n )
     OR ICODE2 = 'w'  ( suppress pub display if icode2=w)
     OR ICODE2 = 'd'  ( suppress pub display if icode2=d)
     OR ICODE2 = 'l'  ( suppress pub display if icode2=l)
     OR ICODE2 = 'm'  ( suppress pub display if icode2=m)
     OR ICODE2 = 'u'  ( suppress pub display if icode2=u)
     OR ICODE2 = 't'  ( suppress pub display if icode2=t)
 4 > RECTYPE is CHECKIN
     AND PUB DISP = 'n'  ( suppress pub display if scode2=n)
     OR PUB DISP = 'i'  ( suppress pub display if scode2=i)
     OR PUB DISP = 't'  ( suppress pub display if scode2=t)
 5 > RECTYPE is AUTHORITY
     AND ASUPPRESS = 'n'  ( suppress pub display if asuppress=n)
