If available I recommend using the OPAC Visible, Search Label, and "Is
Simple Selector" options. The latter puts the option above a "--" line
to keep it at the top and is most useful with "code" values that are
comma delimited sets (like, say, "a,t" to get both kinds of language
material). Turning OPAC Visible off will hide values without needing
to delete them, and the Search Label overrides Value for the search
boxes but allows the MARC values to appear in reports if they are
based on reading things from the value maps as a translator for human
benefit.

Hi Michael.
To change those, you need to edit the names or remove them in the
staff client.
Go to Admin -> Server Administration -> MARC Coded Value Maps
In the Record Attribute Type drop-down, select "Type":
This should pull up the list corresponding to your TPAC options.
Edit the "Value" field to change label in the TPAC.
Delete list items as desired.
Warning: I think this will effect all library TPACs in your
consortium, so consult others as needed. ;-)

Robert

Subject: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] TPAC Main search drop down
Hi Everyone,
I am trying to modify the pull down list of the main search box on
the Tpac. Currently the choices include:
All Departments, Three-dimensional artifact or naturally occurring
object, Two-dimensional nonprojectable graphic and others.
I would like to change this to things like: Books, Movies & TV,
Music etc. as well as remove a few of the others.
I know this is being generated from the coded_value_selector.tt2
file but thats about it.
Any assistance would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Michael Schell
