Maintaining the Locations Served Lists

To access the Locations Served option in Admin Corner, you must be assigned permission 31 (Circulation Parameters). See Permissions Used by Sierra for more information.

You can maintain the Locations Served lists in the Location Served table with these menu options:

Menu option Purpose
A > ADD an entry Adds a location code to a Locations Served list in the Location Served table.
M > MOVE an entry Changes the position of a location code in a Location Served list.
D > DELETE an entry Marks a location code in a Location Served list for deletion. See the option for undeleting for more information.
U > UNDELETE an entry Removes the delete menu option's mark for deletion from a location code in a Location Served list. A location code is not deleted from a Locations Served list until you choose to quit and make your changes permanent. The DELETE an entry menu option only marks a location code for deletion. If you mark an location code for deletion and change your mind before you quit the program, choose the location code and the UNDELETE an entry menu option.
