To enter your data, click on the “+” signs of the fields you want to add. The input fields for your data appear:
A name and your local Identifier (i.e., PCC) are mandatory fields. If PCC is not already a source on the record (as in the example above), it must be added before any further editing of the record. (An exception is when you add a General Note on the External Information and Notes tab to send information to the ISNI quality team about errors, records to merge or split, etc.)
Click the + beside "Add Identifier". "PCC" is automatically added as "identifier type"; the "identifier" field can be left blank.
...
There must be a Name field that corresponds to each source identifier. In other words, when you add the PCC identifier to a record, you also have to add a Name field, even if it duplicates an existing name from another source. To add a form of name click the + beside "Add Name." Add your preferred form of name in the boxes.
...
To add a variant name click the + beside "Add Name variant." Add your variant form of name in the boxes. (N.B. As explained on the Principles page, ISNI is a system of identifiers, not an authority file. It is not necessary to record a variant for each permutation of a name.)
Greyed out fields show data from other sources. You cannot edit or remove these fields. Contact the ISNI Quality Team if you spot an error you would like to see corrected by adding a General Note on the External Information and Notes tab.
Click "Save changes" to add your source or select another tab to add more data.
