SUBJECT vs. AUTHOR source element

Recommended Posts

Both will process 'Lastneme, Firstname' the same way. The difference is that the Mills source types that use author are designed for 'Lastname, Firstname' entry and those that use subject are designed for 'Firstname Lastname' entry.

OK, so normal author I've always used the author field, but in the subject field if you have a long string of text / names, you should not use commas. I solved my problem by using the subject field with the name only and the additional information in a LOCATION element.

 

Is there a listing anywhere that tells the various behavior of each field?

 

Thanks again for your help!!

These fields are described in the TMG Help under the topic "Source Definition: General". It mentions Author / Compiler / Editor, Unfortunately it seems to have left out mentioning Subject and Second Person whose fields work the same. I will post that as an update needed in Help.
