Retrieving Routing Records
Routing records are not actually database records composed of fields. They are entries in the routing file.
NOTE
When you retrieve a routing record in Serials, a list of the serials currently routed to an individual displays. If your library is configured to use patron records for routing, retrieve the patron record to see a list of the serials currently routed to that individual.
NOTE
In Serials Check-in, Binding, Claiming, To Bindery, and Check In Bound, you must begin the process of adding an individual to a serial's routing list before Serials can offer the option to search for that person's routing record. See Adding Individuals to a Serial's Routing List.
To retrieve a routing record for a serial:
- From the Function list, choose a function that retrieves checkin records. See the table of Record Types Accessed by Searches.
- Retrieve the checkin record associated with the routing record.
- Select the Routing tab.
Searching for Routing Records by Entering Routing Initials
This search method is only available in Routing.
- In the Initials box, enter the initials for the individual's routing record.
- Choose Search.
If the routing file contains an entry that exactly matches your search, Serials retrieves and displays that routing record. For a sample screen, see Routing Record Display.
If there are no matching records, Serials offers a browse display. Note that, since Serials does not allow you to create routing records with duplicate initials, all routing record browse displays are "no-hit" browse displays.
