Where the marked item data originates
If “marking” items doesn’t update
Voyager, what’s the purpose?
Saves you from having to jot
down notes with a pencil
and paper
The “marked items” data
can be leveraged for batch
updating of Voyager
Can also be leveraged in the
canned reports Access file
ShelfLister “Marked Item” values
are a configuration option. They
can be anything that is appropriate
for the project at hand.
Voyager server -
ASCII
(S)FTP file from Voyager server
…using the FTP/SFTP
client of your choice
A ShelfLister marked items file
… is a pipe-delimited (“|”) flat file
It’s still a flat file, but now it’s in Access
Access makes it easier to
“slice and dice” the data
An example…
You can do the equivalent of
all those Access steps with
one UNIX command…
What is this
“Pick and Scan”
thing?”
It’s in the
documentation.
142 (for example) items batch updated…
This table just has a bunch of ID numbers.
I wanted the titles and authors and...
If we import the Marked Item file
into the Voyager ‘reports.mdb’
canned reports Access file…
We can join that table with
other tables in a query…
…to get any additional data
