				<title>Adding Copies in Selection Lists &amp; Purchase Orders</title>
				<link>http://engagedpatrons.org/Blogs.cfm?SiteID=2391&amp;BlogID=137&amp;BlogPostID=15401</link>
				<description><![CDATA[When adding copies to your line items you won&#39;t have to set the shelving location or the call number and you only have to set the circ modifier if it is NOT a book.&nbsp;<br />  <br />  With the recent upgrade there is a way to set the default shelving location, circ modifier &amp; call number prefix for acquisitions line items.&nbsp; They have been set to Stacks, Book &amp; ACQ so you only have to set the quantity &amp; add the note for the fund code for each line item.&nbsp; Unfortunately, the upgrade did not fix the fund code bug.<br />  <br />  When the purchase order is activated &amp; the items are uploaded to the catalog, the default settings populate the item records.<br />  <br />  Hope this makes everyone happy!<br />  &nbsp; <P>]]></description>

				<title>FY16 Appropriations</title>
				<link>http://engagedpatrons.org/Blogs.cfm?SiteID=2391&amp;BlogID=137&amp;BlogPostID=14729</link>
				<description><![CDATA[The FY16 funds have been appropriated and are ready to go.&nbsp; Until the bug is fixed you won&#39;t have to worry about assigning the funds to your line items, I just wanted to let you know that the appropriations have been completed.<br />  <br />  Thanks everyone, for remembering to add a fund note to your line items. With your help the workaround is working but it does slow down the purchase order process for Mary.&nbsp; Consequently, Mary will be breaking down orders into smaller chunks.<br />  <br />  &nbsp; <P>]]></description>

				<title>Acquisitions Bug</title>
				<link>http://engagedpatrons.org/Blogs.cfm?SiteID=2391&amp;BlogID=137&amp;BlogPostID=14723</link>
				<description><![CDATA[A bug in the upgraded acquisitions module has been identified.&nbsp; When you are adding copies to the line items in your selection list, you won&#39;t be able to select a fund.&nbsp; The funds are not in the drop down menu and manually entering the fund code won&#39;t work either.&nbsp; You can select a fund on the batch menu line but when you try to apply that choice to the copies nothing shows in the fund box.<br />  <br />  So, as a workaround, until they release a fix for this bug, please add a note in each line item with the fund code you want to apply for that linen item.&nbsp; The image shows a note I added to a line item in my selection list. &nbsp;<br />  <br />  When Mary creates the purchase order, she will apply the fund you have specified in the note.&nbsp;  <ul>  	<li>Please add a fund note for every line item you are making order ready.</li>  	<li>Please just enter the fund code.</li>  	<li>Please add it as a note not an alert.</li>  </ul>   <P>

				<title>Changes in Status Category (Patron Registration)</title>
				<link>http://engagedpatrons.org/Blogs.cfm?SiteID=2391&amp;BlogID=137&amp;BlogPostID=14481</link>
				<description><![CDATA[<strong><span style="font-size:14px">Everyone,<br />  <br />  In an effort to keep everything as simple as possible when we set up the categories in Evergreen&#39;s registration form&nbsp;for new patrons, we ...well, <em>oversimplified</em>.<br />  <br />  To remedy this, we have just added two new categories in the Status heading which will give us more accurate statistics about our patron base. Specifically, we have added a heading for spouses/partners/children of Dartmouth students and one for spouses/partners/children of Town Employees.<br />  <br />  <span style="color:rgb(128, 0, 0)">Please note under STATUS the addition of:<br />  Town Employee family member<br />  Dartmouth Student family member</span><br />  <br />  (Please also try to remember that both husband and wife/partner of Property Owners are also Property Owners. Spouses/partners/children of Dresden employees are not entitled to &quot;free&quot; cards.)<br />  <br />  Thanks,<br />  Kris</span></strong><br />  &nbsp; <P>]]></description>

				<title>Those Pesky ISBNs!</title>
				<link>http://engagedpatrons.org/Blogs.cfm?SiteID=2391&amp;BlogID=137&amp;BlogPostID=14069</link>
				<description><![CDATA[We have had some titles not accepted by Ingram because of a problem with the ISBN field.&nbsp; The ISBN is correct &amp; the title is available from Ingram, but when the ISBN was entered (either keyed in or copied &amp; pasted) an extra space was added at the end of the field.&nbsp; When the EDI order arrives at Ingram it sees a 14 digit field instead of the normal 13 digits (it&#39;s a machine, what do you expect?).&nbsp; It doesn&#39;t know what to do with this data so it refuses this line item. &nbsp;<br />  <br />  If you are copying &amp; pasting the ISBN, please try to copy only the 13 digits &amp; try not to get an extra space at either end of the field.&nbsp; If you do grab an extra space, be sure to remove it before you save the template.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br />  <br />  If you are keying in the ISBN, try not to add a space at the end of this field.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br />  <br />  The EDI function works really well &amp; is a very efficient way to order.&nbsp; However, the downside is that it is absolutely exacting and unforgiving of even the slightest variation.&nbsp; <P>]]></description>

				<title>Uploading Lists --Great News!</title>
				<link>http://engagedpatrons.org/Blogs.cfm?SiteID=2391&amp;BlogID=137&amp;BlogPostID=14002</link>
				<description><![CDATA[There is a way to upload MARC order records without loading the bibs in the catalog!<br />  This will make a big difference to those selectors who were concerned about loading records too far in advance.&nbsp; You can now bring in records as early as you want.<br />  The only change is that you will not check the option to import non-matching records.<br />  <br />  I&#39;ll put an updated page of the instructions in your mail boxes. &nbsp;<br />  <br />  Let me know if you have any questions.&nbsp;<br />  &nbsp; <P>

				<title>Uploading lists</title>
				<link>http://engagedpatrons.org/Blogs.cfm?SiteID=2391&amp;BlogID=137&amp;BlogPostID=13983</link>
				<description><![CDATA[<span style="color:#4B0082"><span style="font-family:verdana,geneva,sans-serif">I uploaded my first batch of lists today. I found it really useful when I uploaded several replacement titles all at once--probably because I don&#39;t put a lot of notes on that kind of record it was a big timesaver for me.<br />  <br />  A couple of FYI things: there are indeed many more selection lists to upload to and when you start typing your initials, you get only your lists.<br />  <br />  Mike noticed that you can put notes in your Bibz lists--which could be useful for you.<br />  <br />  Don&#39;t forget to change the ISBN and be careful because it doesn&#39;t necessarily hold onto the change (the same way the line item doesn&#39;t necessarily hold price info).<br />  <br />  I want to encourage you all to try it. I think as we get more familiar and speedier it could be a boon.</span></span><br />  &nbsp; <P>]]></description>

				<title>Selection Lists in Load MARC Order Records</title>
				<link>http://engagedpatrons.org/Blogs.cfm?SiteID=2391&amp;BlogID=137&amp;BlogPostID=13977</link>
				<description><![CDATA[I opened a call with Equinox to see if the limited selection list options was a bug or a limitation in the software.&nbsp; While it is the way the software is written,&nbsp;the developers &nbsp;changed our code to allow up to 100 selection list names&nbsp;to appear in the&nbsp;drop down menu when you&nbsp;are&nbsp;uploading&nbsp;your order bibs to a selection list.&nbsp;&nbsp; They will be committing&nbsp;a long term&nbsp;fix to a future release of Evergreen.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; <P>]]></description>
