Work with batch reports for bibliographic records
Discover how to open and use batch reports for records in Connexion client.
Open batch reports
Report types
For the bibliographic local save file(s) in a batch run, the client creates a search report, record action report, export report, and label print report. For the authority local save file(s) in a batch run, the client creates a search, record action, and export report. The client also creates a report for batch holdings by OCLC number.
View reports automatically as soon as a batch finishes
By default, when the client completes a batch run, reports open automatically to show results. The reports open on top of each other, with each window maximized.
You can clear this option or select another option to print batch reports automatically in Tools > Options > Batch.
