Beginning a LOT in ABLE WebStart

...

Now we're ready to add the type of material the lot is for: periodicals, monographs, etc. to our Lot!

Creating a Monograph Lot

Earlier, we created a Lot for Periodicals. Now let's create a Monograph Lot. 

There's no difference between a Periodical Lot and a Monograph Lot so we'll repeat the same steps we used to create our Periodical Lot. Keeping our Lot-naming scheme in mind, this time our lot name will end with M.

Monograph Formats

Adding a Monograph to a Lot is similar to adding a Periodical, but instead of retrieving titles from our database, we use Formats. While we're not retrieving titles from the database, we must leave the Key set to one of theTitle Keys.

When you are revising and need to make corrections on items, always click on Upd Item (Update Item) after a correction is made. NEVER click on Add item because it will duplicate the item on the LOT. Once the item is updated, you will need to reprint the ticket: To reprint a ticket, click on Print, click on Reprint Binding Slip, then choose the appropriate printer and print the new ticket. NOTE:  The newer version of ABLE will not allow a Snipit of the drop down menu, but the above instructions are self-explanatory.
