Unpublishing Programs

To modify program records, you must be assigned permission 754 (Update Program Records). See Permissions Used by Sierra for more information.

You can display program descriptions on the WebPAC for public viewing for as long as your library wants. When you know the date your library wants to unpublish a program, follow these steps to set the unpublish date.

To set the date to unpublish a program:

  1. Choose Program Management from the Function list.
  2. Retrieve the program record you want to unpublish and open it for editing.
  3. In the UNPUBLISH field, enter the date the system should remove all information about this program from the WebPAC.
  4. Choose Save to save your program record information or Close to close the record without saving.

To keep a program on permanent display on the WebPAC, do not enter a date in the program record's UNPUBLISH field. To republish a program at a later date, adjust the value in the PUBLISHDAT field and UNPUBLISH fields accordingly.
