[ISLMA-Share] RSA school library tip

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

Even though I have sub folder instructions with pictures and everything
when i'm absent, invariably they don't understand that with Sirsi's
Workflows circ program you have to click on the wizard/icon that brings up
the search box for patron (student) names and so I return to numerous
post-it notes with names and barcodes/titles.  I asked the RSA and Martha
there gave me this tip which I found very helpful.   This will
automatically bring up the search box when one clicks on 'checkout to user'.


I got to thinking there may be a way to have the user search box come up
each time you do a check out.  After some looking I found you could.

You will need to log into a WorkFlows session using the SUPER login.
Place your cursor the on CheckOut wizard and do a right click.
Select Properties.
Go to the Helpers tab.
Place a check mark in the box in front of Start with search helper at the
bottom of the Helpers tab.
Click OK at the bottom.
Close WorkFlows
Be sure to answer yes when you get a popup box that says something like
properties have been changed do you want to save the changes.

You will need to close any open WorkFlows and reopen using your normal
WorkFlows login.

Now when you open the CheckOut wizard the User search box will open on top
of the Checkout wizard.  After you checkout to a patron and click the Check
Out to new User button the User Search box will appear.

I think this will work for you.

Hope this makes sense, let me know if not!
