SWAN Member Libraries,
It has been discovered that a notice configuration setting is inadvertently preventing some patron checkouts from progressing through the standard overdue and billing process. The number of affected records is relatively few. Nevertheless, higher than normal bill-notice volumes are anticipated tomorrow after the change takes effect tonight. Patrons receiving these notices may remark on the delay in delivery; however, the change should permanently solve the issue going forward and it should not happen again.
(Thank you to Lansing PL, who noticed and reported the anomaly.)

SWAN Member Libraries:
It has come to our attention that the November Circulation Statistics currently posted on the SWAN Support Site are not accurate. We are re-running these reports and working to get correct November statistics posted to the support site soon. We apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your patience.

The long-running Load Offline Transactions report has concluded.
Regularly scheduled reports have begun processing, but please be aware that it may be a couple hours until the report server has caught up.
Saturday's offline transactions that were uploaded on Sunday should now be available, but be aware that libraries that were closed on Sunday, December 4th will have their transactions processed overnight tonight.
Offline exceptions reports will be sent out shortly.
If there are any questions about the offline processing, please feel free to reach out.
Thank you for your patience this morning!

SWAN Member Library Staff:
The Load Offline Transactions report that began early this morning is still processing items from this weekend's database maintenance related downtime.
Due to the large number of transactions that the report is processing, it's hard to determine how long this report will continue to run.
This report has delayed the normally scheduled morning reports, so if possible, please refrain from submitting any additional reports until the server has caught up.
We will send an update when the report has completed.
Please be aware that transactions that occurred over the weekend may not be visible on a patron record until this report has concluded.
Thanks for your patience.

Good news – this weekend’s scheduled database maintenance concluded much sooner than we’d anticipated, so the Symphony/WorkFlows server is now back online and accepting logins!
When starting WorkFlows today, please uncheck the box for “Operate in Offline mode”, and login as usual. All offline circulation from the last two days will automatically upload to our server and process overnight. If you login at any time today, you should see this weekend’s transactions reflected tomorrow morning.
We’re still playing some catchup with the Enterprise OPAC database, so you may encounter some anomalies with select titles. Patron logins are again permitted, however, and any issues in Enterprise should be resolved within a few hours when our scheduled reports conclude.
If you encounter any issues with WorkFlows or Symphony database records, please let us know by emailing help(a)swanlibraries.net<mailto:help@swanlibraries.net> or call 844-SWANLIB.
Thank you immensely for your patience and enjoy the remainder of your weekend!
