Resolution

You will need to add an ID field in your processing.  Please do the following:

  1. Go to your WorkFormMapping table and add the "ID" field to each of the different WebFormTypes.  It should follow the pattern of the other fields.   There is more information in the OCLC Work Form Mapping documentation.
  2. You will also need to customize the ILLiad Client Workform page, by right-clicking on the Workform and clicking on the Customize Layout selection.  Move the ID field to the location you want on the form.  I suggest putting it under the Patron name.  You will have to do this on each computer so they save it in their ILLiad Client.
  3. When you are processing your Work Form, you can copy the patron name into the ID field or put a number in the ID field and then send the request.
