| The Operations Management window automatically orders/sorts all pending operations (i.e. reports, utilities, imports, or exports) and allows you to view summaries and open, email, or save operations that you (or others) have previously completed. Simply think of Operations Management as a nerve center that consolidates all operations that you, the current user, the system, and/or others (depending on your security permissions), have been performing; in essence, a specialized transaction log for past and future operations.  Image Removed
Once a report, utility, import, or export has been initiated, you can open Operations Management to track the progress of the current operation and allowing you to view (or save) previously completed operations. Completed operations shown in the “queue” include the name and status of the operation and are affixed with a time/date stamp. An operation that is currently running provides a Cancel option. Image Added Each time Operations Management is opened, the Date Range drop-down filter defaults to Today; in other words, only the current user's newest (i.e. today) operations are initially visible in the Operations Management queue. Each operation is ordered chronologically from newest-to-oldest, so you can see if there are any operations scheduled ahead of yours. The Operation Type dropdown filer defaults to All Operations, which includes pending (or completed) automatic system operations like the Daily Operations system utility (which clears expired holds, reservations, and overdue items that were declared “lost”). For reasons of accountability and transparency, Operations Management will retain all information for canceled and completed operations for a week at least; operations older than a week can be removed from the queue by choosing one of the Remove older than XX days selections from Operations Management's Actions menu. Your security privileges (i.e. Remove All) determine whether a particular user has the ability to remove canceled or completed operations from the queue. By default, all operations older than 90 days are automatically removed from Operations Management. |

| Operations is where you access Reports, Utilities, Exports, and Imports, and contains the feed of recent operations for you to email, view, and download. Operations is a transaction log for past and future operations. Image Added Completed operations shown in the queue include the name and status of the operation, and the time/date they were initiated. Some operations (reports, exports) that are currently running provide a Cancel button. The status of an operation can be one of four things: Running. This status shows the operation currently being performed; it provides the progress of the operation, the date/time that the operation began, and a Cancel button.
Waiting. This status indicates that an operation is pending but has not yet been started. This can happen when the server is busy with other activities. Users with the proper security privileges are able to cancel waiting operations other than their own.
Canceled. This status indicates that an operation was canceled during (or before) completion and includes a time/date stamp and the user who canceled it.
Completed. The operation was completed and results are available; operators can open it, download the results, or send the results via email to whatever address they want—different from those specified in the Notification tab(s) of the Reports window. Image Added | Email Operation. This opens the Send Email window, where you can email a link to download and view the operation file. Your Email Preferences must be configured for this option to be available. | Image Added | Operation Information.

Daily Operations Every day, our software runs certain chores that clean up the system by removing things like expired holds/in-stock holds, setting Union Site copies to In Processing, looking for cover art, updating fines, and so on. At the end of each Daily Operations cycle, Alexandria will archive the operations to the log and deliver the results to Operations. Daily Operations and other system activities can be viewed by all operators, but only some users have the security privileges (i.e. Manage All) to remove them. Show by type  Image Added
