My data!—All about archives
created by
Feb 17, 2021
Most Circulation commands and operations are designed to modify individual pieces of data one entry at a time; utilities, however, can change large amounts of information in your database at once. The Utilities window allows you to create your own set of essential utilities; we provide the general templates that help you build utilities that modify, transfer, remove, update, or verify the information you require. Once you've created custom utilities, there won't be a need to adjust the particulars very often.
Take some time to explore the categories and subcategories and set up some Saved utilities for which you'll be able to easily access and run in the future.
Utilities change large amounts of information in your database at once. Be absolutely positive that you want to perform the selected utility before clicking Run; once these operations have been performed, they can not be undone. If a utility was incorrectly run, your only recourse will be to restore from a daily Archive.
