AFO 343 – Overview of subscriptions per borrower
343.1 Introduction
This AFO enables you to see at a glance the subscriptions in which a routing list member (borrower) participates. AFO 343 shows the subscriptions per borrower and enables you to switch from this overview to AFO 342 (‘Routing lists control').
In addition, the system allows you to assign special characteristics to a routing list member. These characteristics then apply for all subscriptions for which the routing list member is included in the routing list. The following (status) modifications are involved:
·
delete a routing list member from all routing lists; if the routing list member is included in a routing list for a subscription for which a single issue is routed, then the patron is not deleted from the routing list;
·
temporarily remove from routing; you can temporarily remove a routing list member from routing, for example because he is on vacation or is ill by not including the routing list member on the routing slips or including him at the end of the routing list (you can specify which option you chose using a parameter in AFO 361);
·
permanently remove from routing; you can permanently remove a routing list member from routing, for example because he has resigned and may be deleted from all the routing lists. However, if you attempt to delete the routing list member from a routing list for a subscription for which a single issue is in routing, the system will not delete the routing list member. In such a case you can/must define the routing list member characteristics as ‘permanently remove from routing'. Then the routing list member will be removed from the routing list in question once the issue is returned to the library;
re-include in routing; this status change allows you to override the two statuses just described.
343.2 Viewing subscriptions by routing list member
