Everyone –
We wanted to let all the Circulation staff know that we are not planning on running the “List onshelf items with holds” report until Wednesday morning. We felt that this will let all of you catch up with the materials sent to you after we cleared all the hold shelves this past Friday. On Wednesday morning all libraries should be able to run the “On Shelf Items” wizard. On Friday 4/24, we will run the “Clean the Hold Shelf” report for the first time. The “Clean the Hold Shelf” reports will be sent to the generic email addresses that we have on record for your library. After Friday they will be run daily for your use.
This afternoon we worked more on the reports and tweaked the settings for the email hold pickup notice. We feel confident that the report, next time it runs, will increment correctly. Patrons going forward will only receive one email notification for their items ready for pickup on the hold shelf.
Thank you to everyone that has sent in a ticket regarding the new software. We appreciate your patience as we work through the tickets we have received. Since Go Love (Tuesday, April 14th ), we have received 644 tickets, of those 504 have been completed/closed. Those of you that like math already know that means 78% of tickets have been closed successfully. Those of you with tickets still open – we continue to work towards completing yours soon.
Thank you for your patience.
