Introduction
The TitleMerge submission merges 2 or more titles into a single title.
Required Tags
The submission contains two required tags:
- KeepId - Specifies which title record to retain. All others will be discarded after the merge.
- DropId - Specifies which title to drop. Multiple DropIds may be included in a single submission.
Optional Tags
The TitleMerge submission also supports a number of optional tags. These tags should be used whenever a particular field differs between the merged titles. Each used tag refers to a title record number. When the submission is integrated, the value associated with the named record will be retained. For instance, say there are 3 titles being merged which have copyright years of 1952, 1953, and 1980. A Year merge tag is generated which selects the record associated with the year 1952. When the submission is integrated, if the retained title record has a year value other than 1952, then that value will be copied into the retained record. Note that the tags contain only record numbers; they do not contain data values.
The following section describes the tags that are supported in the metadata section. Refer to Editing:Merging_Titles for more detailed information on data entry:
- Title - Record number with the desired title.
- Author - Record number with the desired authors.
- Year - Record number with the desired copyright year.
- TitleType - Record number with the desired entry type.
- Series - Record number with the desired series name.
- Seriesnum - Record number with the desired series number.
- Storylen - Record number with the desired length.
- Language - Record number with the desired language.
- Synopsis - Record number with the desired synopsis.
- Note - Record number with the desired note.
- Parent - Record number with the desired parent (for variant titles).
