What's New in WALS

New Custom Report

 I am pleased to announce, following my training in writing custom reports, I have developed a custom report that will list the top circulating items in the library: Monthly Top Circ Items.

The report will rank the top fifty items that circ’d in the previous month (running the report on April 16th will consider all items that were checked out from March 1st through March 31st).

March WALS Update

Holds not appearing on Send List even when copies are available.  This is probably because I just did a bunch of database maintenance. The system doesn’t allow one to remove items with holds, but it does allow those items to be moved from a Current Location that is holdable, to a Current Location that is not. This means that if the system randomly assigned the hold to a copy that was LongOverdue, Claims Returned, Withdrawn, etc.

New Section Under WALS

The WALS section of the Extranet has a new category: Tutorials.

This category will be used to link to guides, FAQs, and other demonstrations of new or changed functions in WorkFlows, or useful hints and tips with existing functions.

Currently, the category has pages on the Cash Management module of WorkFlows, the MobileCirc app, and a guide to Offline Circulation in WorkFlows in the event of Internet outage. 

If you have any questions, please contact me at klein@winnefox.org or 920-236-5230.
