LINC Update

Create Item Report

Under the circulation menu, the Create Item Report feature has a different set of indexes after the upgrade.  The indexes are currently the indexes available in the Group Item Editor. 

We have currently lost the ability to search by Borrower Location and to add the Usage (No. of CKOs) to the list. Other indexes may be affected as well.

This issue will be reported to Sirsi/Dynix on Monday.

If you have any questions, contact Donna Schaal at 217-352-0047 ext. 204 or dschaa@lincolntrail.info.

Thanks!  Donna

Incorrect Building Codes on Bands - Only Handwritten

LTLS has noticed within the past several days, that Building Codes are not being entered correctly on some handwritten delivery bands.

What we are seeing is that instead of the correct Building Code, the Call Number for the item is being put on the bands. 

Here's an example:

The item should have been sent to MAN but instead on the delivery band it says, "YA/LAW".  This was the call number for this particular item.

Obviously, this delays the items delivery since the driver's cannot sort based on the call number.

Please note that with the upgrade the Check In window appears to wrap differently.  The Building Code is the last column in the entry for the item. 

The wrapping is dependent upon how large your font size is, whether or not you toggle the navigation bar off, or whether or not you move the slide bar to give your CKI window more space.  This all can affect how many lines are in the wrapping of the title.

Again, the Building Code is the last column in the entry for the item.

If you have any questions, contact Donna Schaal at 217-352-0047 ext. 204 or dschaa@lincolntrail.info.

Thank you!  Donna
