Recall Notice On Charged Items Report
| • | Pipe-delimited Output |
Use the Recall Notice on Charged Items (Recallntc) report to generate notices to users requesting that charged items be returned to the library. Although you may generate recall notices using overdue notice reports, this report is the SirsiDynix recommended recall notice report. The default notice texts and the notice type are specific to recall notices.
This report contains the following tabs.
| • | Basic Tab: Reports |
| • | Charge Notice Tab |
| • | Charge Selection Tab |
| • | Copy Accountability Selection Tab |
| • | Item Selection Tab |
| • | Produce Mailing Labels Tab |
| • | Sorting Tab |
| • | User Accountability Selection Tab |
| • | User Selection Tab |
| • | User Status Selection Tab |
| • | Print Separate Reports for Each Library Tab |
Use the Sorting tab to sort the report results by user ID, user name, or zip code. Address labels may also be printed using the Produce Mailing Labels tab.
The type of notice generated by this report is a recall notice. You cannot change the type of notice generated by this report. Therefore, if you select the Count as a Notice Sent check box on the Charge Notice tab, the number of recall notices is incremented.
If Generate Pipe Delimited Output is selected on the Charge Notice tab, the report creates a pipe-delimited file and places it in the
/Rptprint directory with the naming convention of yyyymmdd_internalrptname.pipe. The report log lists the pipe-delimited report file name. This pipe-delimited file can be opened using a third-party application, such as a spreadsheet application.
Sorting selections made within the report are not applied to pipe-delimited files. For example, if you sort the report by zip code, the zip code sort is not applied to the contents of the pipe-delimited file
The entries listed in the Brief Entries attribute of the User Address Format wizards are used to supply information for the address fields in the pipe-delimited file. The City/State field (if it is used) is evaluated as one field, not as two separate fields for the city and the state. The report will check user records for the fields listed in the Brief Entries attribute and print only the populated fields in the pipe-delimited output.
Pipe-delimited Key File
The pipe-delimited key file defines each field of the pipe-delimited file for a particular notice.
The following pipe-delimited key file defines the fields for a recall notice for a charged item.
|date|Library|street|line|city, state|zip|user ID|user name|street|line|city, state|zip|group ID|salutation|notice text|call number|item id|title|author|original due date|recall due date|price|accrued fine|closing text|
For example, this is a pipe-delimited key file for a recall notice for a charged item, and the notice output that is produced from the file.
