To process data from a Telxon unit
1 | Start the Telxon Inventory process. |
The default location of this process is the Inventory folder on the navigation bar.
Horizon opens the Telxon Inventory window, then displays the Profile Telxon Inventory window:
2 | Complete or update these fields in the Profile Telxon Inventory window: |
In this field |
Do this |
Enter the location of the collection for which you want to process inventory data. For a list of valid locations, click Codes. (The Location field defaults to the location that you specified when you logged in.) |
|
Enter the name of the collection. For a list of valid collection names, click Codes. |
|
Horizon sets the Call No. Type from the collection name. If you want, enter an alternate call number type if your library has set the Call Type field in the item record to override the default call number type set in the collection record. (For more information on setting the default, see About Inventory Setup.) |
|
If you do not want Horizon to report exceptions for missing call numbers, incorrect call number types, and misshelved items, then mark this box; otherwise, leave this box blank. |
|
Enter the name of the file you uploaded from the Telxon unit to the workstation. If you need to browse for the file, click the Files button. |
3 | Click OK. |
Horizon displays the Telxon Data File Processing window:
4 | After the bar indicates 100 percent, click Close. |
5 | Do one of these options: |
• | If Horizon finds exceptions, the system displays an Exceptions Message window. |
When the session ID number displays, make note of it in case you need to print the Inventory Exceptions report just for that session, then click OK.
• | If Horizon encounters no exceptions, Horizon returns to the Telxon Inventory workspace. Continue with step 7. |
6 | After Horizon has successfully processed the inventory file, erase the file from the Telxon unit. To do this, do these steps: |
a | Press 3 at the Inventory menu on the Telxon unit. |
b | Press Yes to confirm the deletion. |
7 | If you want to process more files, choose File, Profile Telxon Inventory. |
8 | When you have finished processing all the files for this inventory session, run the exceptions reports and find missing inventory, as necessary. |
