They are now correctly in step.

SerialCallNo = _

SerialCallNo_COUNCIL = _ [where applied in a Consortium installation]

and available to be modified via Enterprise parameter management. The parameter defines a tag and subfield to be used for automatic application to Serial issues on prediction. If 082$a (for example) is entered for the parameter, then that value in the parent bibliographic record will be applied to all predicted isses. The parameters are applied by Aurora Systems Manager 3.11.18 or later, and default to _.

This now handles situations where an ISBN may occur in multiple works

The title list on the right is now expandable

When a title is selected from the list, attached holding details are shown in the panel below

ensure that an item barcode is present (optional)

ensure that the holding has a call number (optional)

a maximum number of records to export, e.g. for a test

a maximum number of records per export file

Please see Bibliographic export for further details

TelemessageOverdues_COUNCIL = _

TelemessageReserves_COUNCIL = _

and are available to be modified via Enterprise parameter management. There can be one reserve and one overdue parameter per Council – determining whether the telemessaging service applies. The parameters are applied by Aurora Systems Manager 3.10.11 or later, and default to False.

The most recent file is shown first. Files can be opened to display the errors, and can be deleted from the server by the operator using this screen: then the icon won’t appear until the next failure is recorded on the server.

A new filter checkbox allows a search to be limited to works with Table of Contents data.

A new icon is associated with the work if there is Table of Contents data present

A new menu option will allow Table of Contents display:

Please note the database needs to be rebuilt using Backroom 3.10.2 or later for data to be available for retrieval and display

EntityBypassUserTypeChargesReserves_COUNCIL = _

EntityBypassUserTypeFinesOverdues_COUNCIL = _

and are available to be modified via Enterprise parameter management. There can be one reserve and one overdue parameter per Council. These parameters allow for exemption from charge of the specific user type defined in the named Council, so if Council A applies charges to say Child users from within the Consortium, but not registered at A, but does not apply these charges to locally registered Child users, then this can be achieved. The values list the user types to be exempt (if multiple, separated by ^, e.g. 7^8^) from these specific charges; if not applicable, the entry value is an underscore. These parameters are automatically applied with Aurora Systems Manager 3.10.1 or later – with the default ‘Not applicable’

MARC display

Item details

Details of this work

Catalogue Maintenance

The MARC display option pops up an overlay to hold the MARC details.

<OperatorID>space<OperatorPwd>space

<OperatorName>space<TaskId>space<TaskSpecific>

OperatorID must be a valid operator id

OperatorPwd is that operator id’s password in plain text

OperatorName is the name of the operator. This element is not checked and can be anything – but please do not include spaces as this will cause subsequent elements to fall out of step

TaskID must be 1023 – this is specifically the Notices screen

TaskSpecific is a keyword that matches the notice startup triggers: either Overdues or ReserveNotices

e.g.:

ait Passw0rd Notices 1023 Overdues
ait Passw0rd Notices 1023 ReserveNotices

where the first two argument elements must correspond to the installation

If an existing order is showing, it just shows the form as when you left it – no details are lostIf a New order button has been pressed but no supplier, or standing order, or bibliographic details have been entered, there is nothing to be cleared so the form is just refreshed as if a change to an order.If a New order button has been pressed, and a supplier, or standing order, or bibliographic details have been entered, the operator is prompted to confirm they want to clear the new order details and the resultant screen depends on that response.

Prepare to Return the item – enabled if the tag has an item barcode.

All fields are now shown by default (the Show Hidden Fields checkbox is automatically selected).The text input boxes for the 3 x Statistical categories are now changed to now be comboboxes, showing the description – the associated numeric values continue to be displayed at present in a read only text box.

A new button is provided to clear the results of a searchThe existing button is reassigned to just clear the text.The Find button action is revised – so if a search argument is entered and a target site selected, then the Find button will be enabled.

For some unknown reason the target notice is now missing or empty : 

This message is now followed by the expected filename.

* A new Enterprise parameter is required to define the default serials item format. This can be entered using the syntax:

insert into Inst_Enterprise values ('SerialsDefaultFormat', 'MAG', 'Default serial item format',0, )

However, please note that this syntax is valid for schema v175. For earlier versions, the final field must be omitted. If your serial item format is PER rather than MAG, please adjust as necessary.

* You will also need to tick the ‘Magazine’ radio button in the item format parameter screen – for each existing serial item format (and save the setting of course). Unless this is set, the Place an Order screen will not display item formats on adding a new serial order, and prediction of issues will be inhibited.

Explicitly remove local tags (xx9 or 9xx)

Remove 856 tag

Set 040 string (LOTE export only)

Copy 852 to 984 tag (LOTE export only)

Provide option to copy USRI to either 001 or 035

Please NOTE: This error may extend back some way and could mean that exports to NLA were underreporting the records deleted. If you have kept recors of the deletion numbers and dates, then it is suggested that you perform a repeat exercise to cross-check the number now reported. Please contact AIT if you want SQL syntax details to simply count the records involved.

If the work is an eBook, then the option ‘eBook – view loan information’ will be available. This will display information concerning the rights recorded for the title, including loans permissions, and an indication of ability to loan:

Where there is no rights detail recorded, it is assumed that there is no restriction and it will be ok to create and loan the item.
