    • Product Version: 18.01

    Problem Symptoms:
    * The Global Blocks do not have a word description in the text field when a block is placed on a patron's record.
    * The number shows up in the drop down list and so does the text but after the desired block is selected, the text does not show
    * The Global Blocks brought over from version 16 *do* display the text
    * In demo library usm50 the text is stored for new block texts

    Cause:
    Columns 3 and 4 of type 1 (global) of the ./xxx50/tab/tab_delinq.lng are not blank

    Resolution:
    Remove information from columns 3 and 4 ./xxx50/tab/tab_delinq.lng for type 1 lines

    Example
    Change

    Additional Information

    To make the block text display next to the block number, you must click on "Update".
    1. click on the triangular drop-down button to the right of the Global block you want to set
    2. from the drop-down of blocks, double-click on the number of the desired block; you will now see the number but no text next to it
    3. click on "Update" (on the right-hand side): the text will appear.
