Searching All Serials for Bindable Issues

You can search all serials in your database for bindable issues. When bindable issues are found, Sierra displays the checkin card containing the issues that are ready to be bound. You can either print pull slips one-by-one as bindable issues are found or queue the pull slips and print them in batch at the end of the search. See Printing Pull Slips for further information.

For information on how the system decides which issues are bindable, see Determining Which Issues to Bind.

To search for issues to bind:

1. Choose Binding from the Function list.
2. Choose a method of searching for issues:
   • Select Range to search a range of records.
   • Select Review to search a review file.
   • Select Index to search a database index.
3. Choose Start to start searching. Sierra searches for records with issues to bind. When it finds issues to bind, the system displays the checkin card with the binding unit selected.
4. (Optional) If you want to bind issues other than the ones highlighted in the checkin card, select the desired boxes.
5. Choose Print Pull Slip on the Card tab. How Sierra manages the printing of pull slips depends on your settings and login options. See Printing Pull Slips for further information.
6. Choose Next to go to the next record or Previous to go back to the previous record. Choose Finish to quit searching for issues to bind and to exit the current record. Sierra displays a dialog detailing the number of records scanned and found.
