Line item features

Line item alerts are predefined text that can be added to line items that are on selection lists or purchase orders. You can define the alerts from which staff can choose. Line item alerts appear in a pop up box when the line item, or any of its copies, are marked as received.

Create a line item alert

  1. To create a line item alert, click Administration → Server Administration → Acquisitions → Line Item Alerts.
  2. Click New Line Item Alert Text.
  3. Create a code for the text. No limits exist on the number of characters that can be entered in this field.
  4. Create a description for the text. No limits exist on the number of characters that can be entered in this field.
  5. Select an owning library from the drop down menu. The owning library indicates the organizational units whose staff can use this alert. This menu is populated with the shortnames that you created for your libraries in the organizational units tree (See Admin → Server Administration → Organizational Units).
  6. Click Save.

Line Item MARC Attribute Definitions

Line item attributes define the fields that Evergreen needs to extract from the bibliographic records that are in the acquisitions database to display in the catalog. Also, these attributes will appear as fields in the New Brief Record interface. You will be able to enter information for the brief record in the fields where attributes have been defined.
