Creating Programs

Program Registration enables you to create new library-sponsored programs for which patrons can register. To create a new program:

1. Choose Program Management from the Function list.
2. Choose New from the toolbar.
3. Enter data in the new record.
4. To create a new program for which registration through Sierra is required, set the REGPOSSIBL fixed-length field in the program record to a value of  "TRUE". You can also create programs for which registration through Sierra is:
   • optional
   • not required
   • required by a third party
   • moderated by library staff
5. Enter additional record information as needed.

See Variable-length Fields in Program Records and Fixed-length Fields in Program Records for further information on the individual fields in program records.

6. Save your changes. Program Registration sends the new record to your system's database. To close the record without saving changes, choose the Cancel button.
