| - | For some types of indexing item, it is neccessary to qualify how they are used and what they represent. A good example of a 'qualification' is the attachment of a name to an %ITEM% representing someone who contributed to the creation of the item - such as an author, editor or illustrator. It is possible however, to have an individual who served as one type of contributor on one %ITEM%, and was a totally different type of contributor on another. Isaac Asimov acted as both author and editor for different books, while Orson Wells was an Actor, Director and Producer. The type of the contributor can not therefore be attached to the contributor name, but must instead be defined at the point of use. | + | {{:pergamonmu:general:general-manage-lookup-qual.png?nolink |}}For some types of indexing item, it is neccessary to qualify how they are used and what they represent.

| When moving an indexing item into the 'current' list, the default qualifying type is added after the entry (e.g. Isaac Asimov (Author) ). If that qualifier is required, then it can simply be left as it appears. If that qualifier is not the one required, right-click the entry with the [shift] key depressed on the keyboard in order to display the list of other qualifiers available in the form of a context menu. Select the qualifier required from the menu to change it in the list. | When moving an indexing item into the 'current' list, the default qualifying type is added after the entry (e.g. Isaac Asimov (Author) ).
