Each item in the library may have one or more author, editor, performer, or other name, indicating the person or persons who supplied the content of the item. All such names are managed through the Edit Author or Name form. To access this form, click the Authors and Names button on the Administration panel of the Main form.
The Edit Author or Name form is actually two forms, a "parent" form (the List Maintenance Codes form) that lists all existing authors, and a "child" form that lets you add a new item or edit the properties of a single item in the list.
The Edit Author or Name child form includes the following data fields.
When entering a name, the Name Matches field indicates whether there are already similar names stored in the database. To see additional detail about the matches, if indicated, click on the message for this field.
To save changes to the item, click the OK button, or use the Cancel button to abandon changes to the item.
