Add multiple items in a single action V21.1 rep_change 2023 Sandra Balzer, Support Analyst
Agenda 2
Introduction Purpose of Enhancement Sometimes, staff needs to duplicate multiple numbers of the same items over and over again (in some cases, a hundred and several tens of the same items). This requires a lot of efforts and human resource which is not always avails. Providing a new functionality to allow item duplication for a specified number of items (duplicating more than a single item at one action) will ease the material reception process especially when dealing with massive amount of items. 3
Introduction In short: A new button, Add Multiple has been added to Item Form. Once Duplicate/New button is clicked, the Add Multiple will become enabled. Clicking Add Multiple pops-up a window for entering number of items to create (up to 100). Once action is complete (Add is clicked at the new form), X number of new items will be created. 4
Introduction The new functionality will be implemented in the Item Form of the following lists: Cataloging module Main Items List ACQ/Serials module Full item list Item list per subscription Item list per order 6
Agenda 7
Example At GUI-Item list; user clicks New or Duplicate button: At the lower-pane, the Item Form becomes active: 8
Example The user may edit the item form fields (e.g. update 'Sublibrary' field') or leave it as is (so far, no new functionality). The user clicks the 'Add Multiple' (new button)... ... and the new Add Multi-Items' Form pops-up. The user fills in the number of items to be created and clicks Add. 9
Example The Add Multi-Items' Form is closed and Aleph attempts to create X number of items. The Items List is refreshed with the newly created items and the total number of items is reported in the left- pane navigation tree. Optional step (depending on library setup); a pop-up information window appears reporting the number of created items. 10
Agenda 11
Configuration In order to have Aleph display a message after addition of multiple items, indicating the number of created items, set the following in alephcom.ini: [ItemList] ConfirmMultiItem=Y Possible values: Y or N Y - (Default) Upon completing the Add Multi-Items' action, a pop- up message will report the number of created items N Upon completing the Add Multi-Items' action, a pop- up message will never be displayed. 12
