The delivery type tells Horizon that it is a Home Service BTYPE. The delivery type also specifies how borrowers with the corresponding BTYPE will receive Home Service items (delivery or mail) so the appropriate wording will be printed on issue slips.
Horizon comes with three default delivery types for you to use:
You should not edit the default delivery types or create new ones. However, you may want to review the default delivery type records so you are familiar with their fields.
To review a delivery type record
1 | Open the hb_delivery view in the Table Editor. |
Horizon opens the List Home Service Delivery Types window.
2 | Double-click the delivery type you want to review. |
Horizon displays the Edit Home Service Delivery Types window:
3 | Review these fields: |

A short code or abbreviation for the delivery type. (For example, “direct.”) |
|

A description of the delivery type. (For example, “Direct delivery for Home Service Borrowers.”) |
This option specifies whether this delivery type is for institution borrowers. This field should be marked only for the “Institution Borrowers” delivery type. |
4 | Click Close. |
5 | Repeat steps 2 through 4 to review other delivery types. |
