JWF Editing a Bibliographic Record: Space Bar/Shift Key

When editing a bibliographic record using the Java Client be aware that depressing the space bar while holding down the shift key results in the cursor moving to the end of the tag being edited. For example, if you are enhancing a GMD for a sound recording by adding the extension (CD book), if, after you have typed the CD in upper case and still have the shift key depressed when you hit the space bar, instead of allowing you to type the word book where you want it as part of the GMD extension, the cursor will move to the end of that 245 tag. If you do not notice that this has happened and continue typing, the word book will appear at the end of the tag after all the other text and the unfinished GMD will display as [sound recording (CD ].

JWF Menus: Receipt Printers

What if you have a receipt printer but do not always want to print the receipt? Nothing you can do about this in the C-client but in the J-client under the Menu bar selection: Preference > Peripherals > Receipt printer, if you check the “Display receipt printer dialog” box you can set a do not print option.

With this property set, when a receipt is going to print, a windows print dialog box pops up and with one more click you can choose to print or not by clicking “ok” or “cancel”.

Please note however, that if you have the “No builtin raster driver” checked (see first screen above), this dialog box will not present; the receipt just prints.

JWF Menus: Font Settings

A better display of diacritics in bibliographic records can be obtained through font selection. In the Menu bar, click on the word Preference > Click on Desktop > Click on Font Settings. For Window Text select from the drop down menu the customized font: Arial Unicode MS. Font size 12 will give you smaller print; font size 14 can be used if larger print is desired.

The Menu Text font displays in the Menu bar across the top of the Workflows screen and in the Wizard names that display on the left side of the screen. The Window Text font is used for all other text displays.

JWF Modify a Serial Control Record

In most instances if you make a modification to an existing serials control record, it will be necessary to click on the Modify Control button at the bottom of the screen in order for your changes to be saved. This Modify Control button not only initiates the modification process but also acts as the save button to retain those changes. There is an actual save button in the MARC Holdings tab so changes to the MARC Holdings record do not require you to save those changes with the Modify Control button. However, changes in the Extended Information tab do require you to use the Modify Control button to save those changes. If there is no save button and you've made changes to elements within a tab, click on the Modify Control button to save the changes.

Setting Properties for SmartPort in JWF Acquisitions

To set properties for using SmartPort through Acquisitions go to the Behavior Tab of the Add Basic Order wizard. Click on the raised bar that says “SmartPort.” The settings used here are the same ones used in the Cataloging toolbar for using SmartPort there. Those settings are described in the Cataloging group of technotes under the section called Importing/Linking which are found at: (http://will.state.wy.us/wyld/technotes/#catalog)
Select the WYLD Technote for "SmartPort Settings."

The SmartPort setting in the Cataloging Search Source Wizard do not carry over to this Acquisitions wizard. The information from the SmartPORT Settings Technote has to be re-entered in the property settings of the Acquisitions wizard.

Add Basic Order Wizard & Add Brief Title Helper in JWF

The Add Brief Title Helper is affected by the property settings of the Add Basic Order wizard. To set properties for using the Add Brief Title Helper click on the raised bar that says “Add Temporary Title.” Under the Behavior tab one of the options you might want to select is the option to add an xx call number to your brief title record. To select this option there should be a check mark next to the entry for Add call number and a check mark next to the option to Auto-generate temporary xx call numbers. You may also want to have a check mark next to the option to Add item when adding a new call number.

The properties you set here for this Temporary Title carry over into the Add Brief Title Helper in other Acquisition wizards. For instance when using the Add Brief Title Helper in the Add Orderlines wizard, an xx call number will automatically be generated for a brief record you have to add to your order.

Deleting in JWF Call Number & Item Maintenance Wizard

It is possible to delete holdings in the Call Number and Item Maintenance Wizard by selecting that option in the property settings of that wizard. This setting is found at the bottom of the Behavior tab.  Place a check mark beside these delete options if you wish to delete call numbers and item records using this wizard. This will not enable you to delete a bibliographic record with this wizard. You will still need to use the Delete Title, Call Numbers, and Copies wizard to remove a bibliographic record.

Cataloging Hot Keys in JWF

Hot keys can be used to activate functions without having to use the mouse. Hot keys work when viewing the combination of hitlist and bibliographic record that is the default display retrieved when searching. In some instances these hot keys work differently when only the hitlist or only a bibliographic record is displayed. To change that combined hitlist and bibliographic record display, the Show/Hide Viewer Helper must be engaged so that only a hitlist results when searching. Some of the hot keys function differently depending on what screen is being displayed when the hot key is selected. Hot keys may also work differently depending on which wizard is being used. These hot keys have been tested in the Item Search and Display Wizard, the Call Number and Item Maintenance Wizard, and in the Modify Title Wizard. The WYLD Technote "Cataloging Hot Keys in Java Workflows" provides a list of the hot keys and their functions in each of these three wizards. Select this technote from the Cataloging group under the section called General which can be found at: (http://will.state.wy.us/wyld/technotes/#catalog)
