Two Options for 'Bill Reason' to be Removed November 27
As MSC staff were investigating a separate issue, it came to our attention that two options found in the 'Bill Reason' dropdown menu for manual billing should not be available. These two Bill Reason options are OVERDUE and LOST. These specific bill reasons are a part of automatic system functions on the backend and should not be used to manually bill users as it can induce errors in the LOST process. You should continue to use the Mark Item Lost Wizard to manually mark items lost.
MSC staff will begin removing these two options from the 'Bill Reason' dropdown on November 27th. If you have any questions, please open a help desk ticket.
'Montana Shared Catalog Overview' Recording Available
The MSL Learn Webinar Series held on November 14th featured MSC Trainer Keiley McGregor sharing an overview of the MSC including training and support resources.
The 30 minute recording is now available here. Presentation slides can be found on the ASPeN event page.
Attention SMS Libraries
The SMS notifications sent from our system have included library name and phone number at the end of the message. However, it recently came to our attention that the library name and number comes from where an item checked out rather than the user library. As this has been confusing for patrons, we are removing this part of the SMS message.
If you have not yet requested this service for your library, see our two KB articles for more information:
If you have questions or would like to add this service, please open a help desk ticket.
