-
- The following are a couple of things requested in the management
- enhancements that are already in the release 8 (or earlier) software:
-
- Some of these had multiple requests, so I thought the list might
- be interested.
-
- 1. In View Patron Suggestions, when you are done with Suggestions and
- want to see "books requested for purchase", you can do so without
- exiting the option and having to re-key your password to get back in.
-
- 2. In Create Lists, when you are finished with one list, the system
- takes you back to the list of lists instead of exiting the List function.
- No more typing your password dozens of times when you are doing
- list cleanup!
-
- 3. More lists, bigger lists. We have included in the enhancement suggestions
- that more lists or bigger lists (or something tohelp with statistice
- and report creation in large institutions) be initiated. However,
- it is also my understanding that
-
- you can buy more groups of lists from III.
-
- you can arrange the list groups in any way you want - so
- that instead of having 4 60,000 lists, you could have one
- 240,000 list.
-
- 4. Allow modification of existing search statements - so that when
- you input a strategy that you need to use again with only a little
- modification at the end, you don't have to re-type it (or remember
- it) - this is part of the "save" option in release 8. After a seach is
- typed in, you can save it (with a name) and later call it back up
- to re-use. The recalled strategy can be added to for the current list.
-
- You modify it the same way you would modify any strategy now - add another
- factor or ESC to backup and replace a factor - it is not full-text
- editing or anything fancy like that.
-
- ---------------------------------
-
- Thank you all for your contributions to the management enhancement
- list.
