    Print Letter to Patron - adding new letter options to box

    • Article Type: General
    • Product: Aleph
    • Product Version: 20

    Description:
    In the "Global Patron Information" tab in Circulation, there is a "Letter" option on the right side of the screen. This option brings up a checkbox containing letter options that can be sent to a patron.

    I see a section in pc_tab_exp_field.eng called "BOR-PRINT" that contains the available letter options for this box.

    Question - is it possible to change these options by adding new ones? If so, are there other files to edit or is this the only one?

    Resolution:
    You're referring to the following lines:
    BOR-PRINT L Patron Circulation Summary LIST
    BOR-PRINT L Library Card CARD
    BOR-PRINT L Renew List RENEW-LIST
    BOR-PRINT L General notice - opening hours during holidays A
    BOR-PRINT L General notice - return books by end of semester B
    BOR-PRINT L Message to library patrons C
    BOR-PRINT L Print Option D D

    The third column indicates the print file to be used, which are, respectively
    bor-list.xsl
    bor-card-label.xsl
    bor-list-renew-all.xsl
    borrower-letter-a.xsl
    borrower-letter-b.xsl
    borrower-letter-c.xsl
    borrower-letter-d.xsl

    As a test I added the following line to pc_tab_exp_field.eng
    BOR-PRINT L Print Option E E
    and copied borrower-letter-d.xsl to borrower-letter-e.xsl

    Then I ran util I/6 after dlib to the bib library and restarted the PC server. I was able to print the new report.
