To all library staff:
Thank you for your continued reports, and working with us to provide examples and recreate
scenarios. SWAN staff are monitoring and processing tickets, and resolving issues in house
and with SirsiDynix. Please continue to open tickets or email
help@swanlibraries.net<mailto:help@swanlibraries.net>. Having all of your requests
and reports in one place allow us to work together to resolve issues and better monitor
progress. Please review the updates on previously reported issues below. This is not a
comprehensive list, but focuses on the issues that multiple libraries have reported.
Circulation
· PIN Changes: Between 9 AM and 2 PM today, a number of previously updated PINs
were reverted to the last four digits of user phone numbers. Approximately 51,000 users
were affected. This change has been reversed, and users who have updated their PINs
between go live and this morning should see those updated PINs are functioning again.
· SMS Hold Pickup Notices: At 9 AM today, approximately 3,000 users received hold
pickup notice via SMS indicating that all of their holds were currently available on the
hold shelf. The issue has been identified and corrected. The notice counter has been
adjusted so that when these holds do become available, the users will receive a notice as
expected.
· Email Hold Pickup Notices: SWAN staff were testing email hold pickup notices
today, and email hold pickup notices were successfully sent at 3:00 today.
· Notice Preference: Many users have an incorrect or blank notice preference on
their user account. We cannot make a batch change to users with an incorrect notice
preference without impacting actual selections made by patrons. Records without a notice
preference will be double-checked and populated with the notice preference from
Millennium.
· Bills for Lost/Replacement Items: Bills with a bill reason of REPLACEMENT should
have been loaded with a reason of LOST. The LOST bill reason has special functions in
Workflows-when the item is checked in, the LOST bill is removed and the processing waived
or not depending on library policies. SWAN and SirsiDynix have tested a fix to change
REPLACEMENT bills to LOST bills, so that if an item is returned, the automatic processes
happen as expected. SirsiDynix will be implementing that change soon. Please expect to see
some changes to bill reasons.
Cataloging
· Call number subfield c: All call numbers with a subfield c migrated without that
subfield. Those records have been identified and are being corrected. Because of
background processes, these changes will be made over 3 days. Please expect to see updates
to your call numbers today, tomorrow, and Friday, if applicable.
· Call number subfield e: Where present, subfield e mapped to a staff note instead
of the call number field as expected. This has been reported and we are working on a
resolution.
· On Order and In Process: Some items with a status of On Order or In Process in
Millennium did not map properly during the migration. These are being remapped, and will
be checked out to the corresponding system use user.
Serials
· Daily and Weekly Serials Missing Dates: Daily and weekly serials were missing
subfield k. This information has been added, and you should now see dates as expected for
daily and weekly serials.
Enterprise
· Scheduled Maintenance: SirsiDynix has just announced there will be scheduled
maintenance on Enterprise tomorrow, April 23rd at 11:00 PM. They anticipate there will be
about one hour of downtime. This is regular system maintenance, and not related to the
SWAN migration.
· More information required View All: In some cases, clicking "View
All" on a facet will not display all facets as suggested. We have reported this issue
to SirsiDynix, and they have escalated the case to development. They are asking for
additional information. If you have encountered this issue and not reported it, please
send an email to
help@swanlibraries.net<mailto:help@swanlibraries.net?subject=View%20All> with the
subject View All, and include any information relevant to your search, how often
you've seen the error, which browser you are using, etc. SirsiDynix asks:
I'm hoping you can provide more information as to when it occurs. Is it on the first
search of the session or subsequent ones? Do any search terms consistently get the
problem? How often do you see this? Every 20 searches, or more or less?
· Logos: The issue with logos overlapping log in and my account links should be
resolved for all libraries listed below. If you are still seeing this issue, please clear
your browser cache. After clearing your cache, if you are still having trouble, please
email help@swanlibraries.net<mailto:help@swanlibraries.net> with the profile, which
browser you are using, and if you are using a computer or mobile device.
· Log In Box: On mobile devices, the log in box sometimes disappears or moves
off-screen. We have reported this issue to SirsiDynix. It seems to work better in
landscape mode.
· Diacritics: Diacritics and special characters were corrected on over 140,000
records in Workflows. These changes are being indexed over several days. As they are
indexed, the changes will be picked up in Enterprise. Until then, you may continue to see
special characters displaying incorrectly in Workflows.
