If you assign a workstation ID to each workstation from which your staff creates workslips, you have these benefits:
• | Acquisitions staff can create batches of workslips at multiple workstations simultaneously. |
• | Horizon identifies which workstation created which batch of workslips. |
• | When Horizon displays workslip batches, it displays only batches for the current workstation’s ID. Staff can view workslip batches from any or all workstation’s from their own. If staff choose to display all workstation’s IDs, the default sort is by workstation ID with the most recently generated batches first. |
If staff creates workslip batches from a workstation without a workstation ID, then Horizon pools those workslip batches with all workslips from other workstations without workstation IDs. (For more information about batches, see “Working with Workslip Batches” in the “Purchase Orders” chapter of the Acquisitions Guide.)
Whether or not you assign each workstation an ID, you can have multiple workstations receiving items at the same time.
1 | At the workstation to which you want to assign a workstation ID, start the Workstation Workslip Options process. |
The default location of this process is the Acquisitions\Acquisitions Setup Menu folder on the navigation bar.
Horizon displays the Workstation Workslip Options window.
2 | Enter the Workstation ID you want to use for this workstation. |
The workstation ID format is free-form text. The display of this field is generally limited to 30 characters. As an example, you might choose to use a staff member’s name, such as “Mary’s Desk”, or a department identifier, such as “Audio Visual” or “Acq002.”
