How to enable Fast Cataloging
This document will outline how to enable the Fast Cataloguing functionality on Koha. To have the Fast Cataloguing appear as an option a specific framework must be set up for it which uses the code FA.
Navigate to the MARC frameworks
Go to Koha administration > Catalog > MARC bibliographic framework
This will take you to a page with a table of the frameworks available on your site.
The framework with Default framework in the Description column and a blank field in the Code column is the Default framework. This Default framework should never be edited.
Check the table for a framework with the code FA in the Code column. If a framework with this code already exists, Fast Cataloging should already be an option under the Circulation module. The next section of these instructions outlines how to navigate to the Fast Cataloging option.
If there is not a framework with the FA code, one will need to be created. If you require assistance with this, please check our Help Centre or contact Interleaf Technology directly.
Where does Fast Cataloging appear?
Once there is a framework with a FA code is available on the site, there will be a Fast Cataloging option under the Circulation module.
