Suspending Routees
Sierra can automatically suspend and reinstate routees based on dates you enter in the system. Routees can be suspended:
- for a range of dates in the future
- effective immediately, and automatically reinstated on a future date
- indefinitely
The names or initials of suspended routees are grayed out on the Routing tab. Suspended routees do not print on routing slips. Email notifications are not affected.
To suspend a routee:
- Choose Routing from the Function list.
- Retrieve the routing or patron record of the individual whom you want to suspend from serials routing.
- Depending on when you want to suspend the routee, enter the dates as follows:
| To suspend a routee ... | then ... |
|---|---|
| for a range of dates in the future, | enter the beginning and ending dates for the suspension in the Suspend Date From and To text boxes. |
| effective immediately, and automatically reinstate them on a future date, | remove any date in the Suspend Date From text box. Enter the last day of the suspension in the Suspend Date To text box. |
| indefinitely, | enter the beginning date of the suspension in the Suspend Date From text box. Remove any date in the Suspend Date To text box. |
- Choose Close to save your entries.
NOTE
Enter the suspension dates in each serials check-in unit that contains the routee.
