Aleph alerts that what once was lost now is found

Did you know? The Aleph GUI can notify Access Services staff when patrons check out an item with an incorrect item processing status (IPS). Let Aleph do more to help patrons have an accurate description of an item’s true status!

When a missing item is labeled as “Missing” or “Lost” (IPS = LO, MI, MT, or SE), it may later be found. The Aleph GUI can display an alert message during check out (or CLICs processing) that the IPS should be corrected. (Aleph will then remove the IPS.)

To enable this on-screen notification, please make a change to the following file on your desktop PC:

C:\Aleph21Prod\Circ\tab\circ.ini

In the “General” section, add the following lines:

[General]
DatesDefaultSubLibrary=[MAIN SUBLIBRARY, e.g., XX001]
UpdateDatesDefaultSubLibrary=Y
NotifyProcessStatus=Y

For more details, please see the OLS Support Site for the Aleph client installation instructions (see step 19-G).
