Alert notices in Acquisitions

Purchase suggestion notice

OLIB can send a notification to a member of library staff to alert them that a user has placed a purchase suggestion through WebView. An Example Purch. Sugg. Submitted Notice is provided. This contains HTML tags so that the email is properly formatted.

Example

1. Select the Example Purch. Sugg. Submitted Notice and in Other Actions choose Create Close Copy.
2. Click on the copy to display full details and Modify Record.
3. Set Notice Type to Notification of Purch. Sugg.
4. Choose Location. Notices will be sent to the To List email addresses whenever a user registered at this Location submits a purchase suggestion in WebView.
5. Choose a User Category. Notices will be sent to the To List email addresses whenever a user with this User Category submits a purchase suggestion in WebView. The Copy Category setting is not relevant for purchase suggestion submission notices.
6. In the Notice Text change the contents to specify the text and punctuation you wish to include in the email. This is using the same syntax as is used for configurable export formats to define the main body of the email. The OLSTF Tags table indicates which tags are available for you to use in the Notice Text field. You can include any User OLSTF tags in the Notice Text field, together with a small number of Order Item OLSTF tags. For example, to include data from a field in the user record, enter the User OLSTF tag surrounded by angle brackets. If you only want the text to be included if the field itself contains data, surround the OLSTF tag and associated text with the appropriate hash tag combination.
7. Set From Address to a valid email address, e.g. a generic address for your library.
8. In Transmit Type set to To To List.
9. Configure the recipients of the email:
   1. To List – Specify who the purchase suggestion notice should be sent to.
   2. CC List – Specify who should receive a copy of the purchase suggestion notice.
   3. BCC List – If required specify who should receive a blind copy of the purchase suggestion notice.
       Note: In all three of the above fields, multiple email addresses can be entered. Multiple addresses should be separated with a semi-colon.
10. In Subject Line enter the text to be used as the subject line of the notice.
11. Set Enabled to Yes for OLIB to start sending recall notices in daystart, using the above settings. If Enabled is set to No or is null, the notice will not be sent.
