6 TRIGGERS
Triggers are a way to link a reminder to a record. The reminder can be an instruction to perform a task related to a record, or general information. Triggers can be retrieved and viewed across modules. A single trigger can be directed to a specific grouping "department". This means that the acquisitions librarian can input a trigger that is intended for the cataloger, and so on.
The following explanations deal with the General Triggers List (a list of triggers from which you can directly access the relevant record), and with Record Triggers (the triggers relevant to a displayed record).
General Triggers List
The triggers can be filtered by action date and grouping.
The way in which this triggers list is retrieved varies from module to module
- Acquisitions/Serials -> Administration tab -> Triggers node; the trigger
can be used to access the relevant Order or Serial record.
- Circulation -> Alephino menu -> Retrieve Triggers option; the trigger can
be used to access the relevant Item record.
-
Cataloging -> Records tab -> Triggers node; the trigger can be used to
access the relevant Title or Item record.
Record Triggers List
The way to call up triggers relevant to a specific Record Trigger also varies
from module to module:
- Acquisitions / Serials -> Order tab -> Trigger List node
- Acquisitions / Serials -> Serial tab -> Trigger List node
- Circulation -> Item tab -> Trigger List node
- Cataloging -> Edit menu -> Record's Triggers
- Cataloging -> Items tab -> Trigger List node
A new trigger can be added or a specific trigger can be updated.
