5.4.1  Default Values for Present Location

This may seem an unnecessary nicety; you may feel that you don't mind typing in the name of your city, institution, and repository or library for each record.  But crazy as it may seem, we've encountered more than one typographical error at this level, so the default values are a big help to DS Central.  And it will make life that one small bit easier for you, too.

From the drop-down menu under Settings, choose Institutions, then Repositories, and then Default Values.

If you have obtained this copy of DS-Access as a formal partner of the consortial project, you'll see that the default values are already populated on the left side of each form.  The right side of each form is what you'll be checking and possibly editing at this point.  The plan is to always bundle the records from your institution as a unit under one behind-the-scenes code or name (the left side), while still allowing the institution freedom to change its public appellation as often or as drastically as it wants (the right side).
