Any memo where “Show” is set to “O” will display in the Borrower’s My Details screen where specified. This includes all automatically generated memos and memos manually input by staff. If there is a memo on a borrowers record you do not want displayed then use “N” in the show column. If staff want to see it then set this to “Y”
Y = It now only shows in the Amlib client as a Pop-up BUT not display in OpenOPAC
N = No Pop-up appears, but is visible in memo list for borrower in the Amlib Client
O = Pop-up in Library AND Appears in OpenOPAC
If you need to change the setting for Show, highlight it and type in the desired setting, O, Y or N > F3Save
There are two factors to be considered regarding allowing renewals in OpenOPAC:
Supervisor Installation parameters that will control who is able to renew their item
please Note: The Renew All option is ONLY available when all items borrowed, meet all renewal criteria.
Set the maximum number of reservations per borrower type, as well as per Form/Stats Code.
NOTE: Once a change had been made for a charge for a specific form type and borrower type – You MUST to go into Configuration select > Upload tab > Select > Reset Memory button > SAVE for the new changes to be pushed through.
This feature allows borrowers to submit requests for items that the library currently does not hold. There are two types available:
The form is filled out and submitted by library patrons on OpenOPAC, which then becomes available in the Supervisor screen. There are mandatory fields in the request form on OpenOPAC, that need to be filled in before it can be sent – The title and author must be given, a location for pick up, a format and the type of request must all be selected – before it will be submitted successfully. Therefore a request will not come though into the supervisor module unless these filed shave been correctly filled in.
To check recent requests made, you need to go through Main > Supervisor > Opacs > OpacSuggests:
When making Purchase and Ills requests, the additional information added is now passing to Amlib, so that the librarians can see any extra information provided when they check for request in the OpacSuggest Screen in Amlib.
From here you can XReference into either InterLibraryLoans or Orders.
When XReferencing into InterLibraryLoans from the Opac User Suggestions screen, a response is automatically created for the borrower to see in their messages and the ILL screen is filled out from the details entered by the borrower.
Note: When editing details via Change My Details under Borrower details, one phone field is now compulsory - so that one phone field must be filled in when adjusting an existing address. There is a warning message informing patrons, when no phone fields are filled in and changes cannot be saved. If there are any other compulsory fields not filled in a warning message will be displayed, explaining what is still required, before information can be changed & saved.
You can control what your patrons can do on OpenOPAC by using the Borrower Type function in the Amlib Client.
