Creating Checkin Records

To create checkin records, you must be assigned permission 142 (Create checkin records). See Permissions Used by Sierra for more information.

To create a checkin record:

  1. Retrieve or create the bibliographic record to which you want to attach the new record.
  2. In the Summary tab:
    1. Choose Checkin from the View drop-down list.
    2. Choose Attach New Checkin.

The system creates a tab for the new record and switches to that tab.

  1. Follow the steps described in Entering Data into New Records.
  1. After entering data in the fixed- and variable-length fields, Sierra adds the checkin record to the database and then prompts you to create a checkin card for the record.
  2. After creating the checkin card, select the Record tab if you want to review the new checkin record.
  3. To save the new record, choose Save on the toolbar. Or, to save all new attached records, select the Summary tab and choose Save All on the toolbar.
