You can quickly access all application commands from the set of toolbars.
Tabbed Toolbars
The Main Toolbar gives you convenient access to the most often used library features.
On this toolbar, you can find two useful commands that let you add new items and new borrowers into the "working" tables.
The Add Items/Borrowers toolbar gives you access to "add data in bulk" features. You can import your data, type in, or in the case of books, you can use the auto-cataloging by ISBN feature.
After reviewing new records, you can move all data to the main library database.
Do you want to process your data quickly and improve the efficiency of the auto cataloging feature? Then, you can add new items from the ISBN lists.
Did you add your data from another file? And, your items do not include many details but have ISBNs. Then, you can use the auto-update feature and improve the quality of your data.
Add LibraryItemsThe Edit/View Table toolbar offers you access to the various tables used by our library system.
You can move records between similar tables. For example, if a lost item is found, you can move it back to the main library table. Likewise, the old borrower renews the library membership. Again, you can move the borrower to the library patron's table.
By mistake, somebody deleted items from the library. You can review this in the log table.
Once in a while, you should decrease the size of your library database. You can do it by deleting old loans and old log transactions.
It is recommended that you back up your library data regularly e.g., once a week or once a month. You should especially do a backup after entering new records.
You can set the automatic backup feature in the Options.
When moving our application and data to a new computer, use the backup feature.
Always backup your data and the folder before running the advanced feature if you are unsure about the final results. Examples of advanced features: search/replace, modify data fields, customize forms, import.
BackupThe Maintenance toolbar offers you access to the set of advanced functions.
Would you like to check your items in the library against the records in the system. In this case we recommend to run inventory audit procedure. The inventory audit procedure lets you assess which items exist in the library rooms and which are lost.
