What is a set?
Answer
A set is a collection of items. Sets can be created for Acquisitions, Users, and Resource Management. You can use sets to publish metadata in bulk, move a group of records, or run jobs.
There are two kinds of sets in Alma:
- Itemized: individual items that are selected from a repository search or uploading a file. Itemized sets are static and new records meeting the search requirements will not be automatically added to the set. Itemized sets may included deleted records.
- Logical: a saved search query that runs every time the set is used. Logical sets are dynamic and always reflects what is currently in the repository, which means items can be added or removed from the logical set.
Set content may consist of:
- All titles/bibliographic records
- Authority records
- Physical titles/items
- Digital titles/files
- Electronic packages/portfolios/titles
- PO lines
- Users
