Global blocks don't display the block text (just the number)
- Article Type: General
- Product: Aleph
- 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

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.
