[SWANcom] Reminder: Call Number Input Visual Change

Good afternoon - This is a reminder that SWAN needed to make a small change to WorkFlows with respect to the input of call numbers. Previously, the call number input field was Caps Locked to allow only the input of upper case letters. In order to implement the mixed-case call number functionality required for certain new classification scheme options, the input box is no longer locked into upper case, but will accept lower case letters. However, the existing classification policies (LC, DEWEY, LCPER) are still configured as upper case-only. So when you save a call number using these policies, the call number you typed will convert to upper case: [cid:image001.png@01D3BAE0.18E9C310] So the existing classification schemes are still locked into upper case. The lock is simply happening at a different point in the process. Therefore it is still not necessary to hold Shift or use the Caps Lock key to input call numbers. For more information on this change as well as the new mixed case call number options, please refer to the Cataloging Advisory Meeting Notes<https://support.swanlibraries.net/sites/default/files/meeting/2018… from the group's February 23rd meeting. Please note that this change has also caused all instances of "|Z" to convert to "|z" across all classification schemes. This is a visual change only and has no effect on the treatment of call number analytics.
