If it can’t find it, it will then look to see if it can find it in a virtual folder on a web server. This needs to happen if you are on a remote branch PC or on an AIT hosted system.

2012\| 79\|E	2.7.5. 28855	Notices functions now extended to Overdues. Please note: New HTML Overdues Templates are requiredNote that these new format templates need to be stored in a web-accessible folder. Please see workstation ini page for necessary changes to AuWksAurora.ini as there are no previous notices in the system, if a user is currently due for a 3rd notice, they will get a 1st reminder notice produced in the first run, a 2nd reminder notice produced in the second run then a 3rd reminder notice on the third run. To prevent excessive emails or postal notices in the first few runs we suggest that Email notices are unticked in the first 2 runs so that only postal notices are produced Postal notices are suppressed from printing in the first 2 runs to prevent up to 3 notices being printed for the one user. Better to suppress these then examine the notices produced in the designated folder and only print the ones required (or print them then pull out duplicates).

2012\| 70\|E	2.6.1. 27384	Further modifications are applied to Daily Reports – ‘SQL Query’.

Run-time parameter options are provided for : Item format User type Special interest code Start/end age Year Notice level Integer value Weight These are enabled when called for in the SQL Syntax, otherwise will remain grey. Note that when setting dates From/To, this is required in associated Counts, but will not apply to a standard manual entered query. When a listed Report is selected from the display, its SQL syntax is populated into the input box. If the syntax holds the Aurora reserved word ‘X_Tables’, the table is replaced in the syntax; additionally if other keywords are present, e.g. ’X_DateFrom’, ‘X_DateTo’, ‘X_ID_Format’, or ‘X_UserType’, the associated controls are shown. On changing dates or item format or user type, the keywords are automatically replaced. You can then run the report or query and get the result. NOTE: if the Operator is not at Task Level 9, the report syntax input box is read-only – the Operator then cannot manually amend the syntax to look at other fields or tables.

This is a file format bespoke for Leichhardt Municipal Council and may not be in the format required for other local operations – please contact AIT if variations are required, To operate the new approach, the database must be updated to at least schema version 172.

The default setting for this is $100, and the parameter may be set ahead of Backroom release using the SQL update query: insert into inst_enterprise values ('MaxCreditCharge','100','Maximum credit amount an operator can apply to user charges','0') If this parameter is in place, then a control is placed on the amount of credit that may be applied, and if in excess of the set amount, then the Save button for the Add Charge function is suppressed, preventing the action	AIT	Add charge – recording a credit	If the credit max parameter is exceeded, then the save button is disabled	None	None

If ‘Any’ Organisation is chosen then all Home libraries are listed regardless of Council.

2012\| 49\|E	2.4.11. 26421	This version incorporates a fix to the Suggestions screen. Previously someone could show a list of suggestions (in the order determined by the combobox), then click a column header to set column sorting on – so that if the operator then showed suggestions in some other order, e.g. by date, the column sorting interfered with this.

This controls the setting in the Loan screen: ‘Suppress printing loan docket’ (label changed from ‘Suppress loan docket’).
