Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Inquiry for various circulationenhancements

Hi Kathy, Did you get any more information about the in-db circulation rules? My consortium also follows the circ policies of the owning library. We had been considering changing from the script-based rules to the in-db rules, but if the in-db rules only follow the circulating library's polic

We saw something similar on a few occasions while we were on 1.4.0.6. We noticed it mostly during 'renew' operations - after renewing the item would be listed twice in the patron's 'items out' screen. We have now upgraded to 1.6.0.2 and haven't seen it (yet) in that version. Judy Daniluk Technol

I'd like a way to put a report title, date and description at the top of the output, so that sometimes you can just print the output without having to pretty it up in Excel. I'd like to be able to look at a template and know for sure which data elements are represented by the display fields, e

Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Permissions wrong?

2010-01-29 Thread Daniluk, Judy
In the library settings editor, the word 'context' is used for a very similar concept. My personal preference would be 'scope'. On this topic, I would love to see technical documentation about what Evergreen features are controlled by which permissions ... and to see this documentation updated

Some of our libraries are happily using the Dymo 400 Turbo (with single-column label stock), but one library tried a Dymo 450 TwinTurbo and was not able to get it to work with Evergreen. One library is exporting data from Evergreen in csv format and then using Microsoft Word’s Mail-Merge

[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Inconsistent results searching Z39.50

2009-12-30 Thread Daniluk, Judy
We recently migrated a group of small libraries to Evergreen. All of the libraries are having trouble searching Z39.50. It seems like the search gives up too quickly or just returns without doing the search. Here's an example of the kind of frustration we're having - we search for the 10-dig

Does anyone have first-hand information about using a Dymo LabelWriter 450 Twin Turbo printer with Evergreen? It prints both spine labels and barcodes. We know people that are using the Dymo LabelWriter Turbo 400 for spine labels with Evergreen. We are wondering if the 450 Twin Turbo will wor

You need to download and install the staff client locally. Be sure to get the right version to go with the demo server. I believe there is a page somewhere that tells you what login/password combinations you can use. After you install the staff client, the first time you run it, you need to t

We have had a few reported cases where a patron placed a hold and then the hold request did not show up in the patron's account information in the OPAC. Other holds placed by the same patron did show up. But we are a very, very new Evergreen implementation, and many of the odd things we see t

I'm satisfied it's not a straightforward problem with mis-installing the software, or installing the wrong version, or mis-typing the hostname. Those things have been doublechecked numerous times. It's got to be something to do with the network environment at that library. Don McMorris at Equinox

We have several libraries getting ready to migrate to Evergreen, and in preparation they have installed the 1.2.4.0 staff client so that the staff can get some experience working with the Evergreen demo server. Most of them have had no problem with it. But at one library, when they enter the ho
