Linking an Authority File to a Performance Module Record
You may wish to link records from your authority file databases to records in
the performance module to index and enhance them. You may link Name and Place
records to both Work and Performance records, while Name records may also be
linked to Role records, for example if you
have a name authority record about the person who is an actor in a performance.
To link an authority file to a performance module record:
- With the relevant work/performance/role record on the screen, click the Link Authority Record in the side
button strip, the side button strip displays the authority files you may link to:
Name or Name and Place.
- Click the Name or Place button as appropriate, a search dialogue box is displayed
- Search for the authority record you wish to link, if you find more than one option select the
correct record from the overview and click OK in the Find One Record dialogue box
- Click to confirm the correct record has been selected, you will be returned
to your work/performance/role record
which is now linked to the Name or Place authority record
- Explore the link to the authority record using the navigational tabs at the top of your work/performance/role record.
