Issue #4 - Patron Uploads and BCA Upgrade

Issue #4

Hello All LS! 

Here are this week's SirsiDynix updates:


Patron Uploads Resumed! 

Patron uploads from Datatel have resumed! All new students should have records in WorkFlows and staff should not have to manually create patron records. In the off chance that staff does have to manually create a record, then please have them refer to the QR card Manually Creating Patron Records found on the WorkFlows Circ Central wiki page under Circulation Quick Reference Cards.   

BlueCloud Analytics Upgrade was Successful
After having some time to test it out, training will be planned and scheduled. Look for more info soon!


Hot Tip: Bypass Scrolling Through the Index Field Drop-down Menu

Searching for a patron or an item in WorkFlows? Tired of scrolling through the Index drop-down menu to find the right search parameter? Well, scroll no more! If you click on the Index field and type in the first letter of the search parameter that you are looking for, you will be taken directly to it on the list.

For example, if I were searching for a patron using their ALT ID, then I would type A into the Index field and ALT ID would automatically generate in that search field. It works with item searches too! If I were looking for an item by author, then I could apply the same method in Item Search and Display to generate Author in the Index field. Happy searching!
