You can modify (enhance) an ISNI record in the ISNI web portal by supplying additional information to the record: name variants, dates, language, gender, or nationality, related people or organizations, titles of works created by the person, class and role, and external information from outside sources. Editing a record may involve various actions from simply adding a note to linking to related records. You can also upgrade record status By enhancing a record and adding more fields to a record, status may be  upgraded and and changed from "provisional" to "assigned."

...

A name and your local Identifier are mandatory fields. If PCC is not already a source on the record (as is the NTA symbol in the example abovebelow), 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 the + beside  beside "Add Identifier".  "PCC" is automatically added as "identifier type"; "identifier" field can be left blank.
