WorldShare Record Manager Release Notes, May 2023

 

Release Date: May 25, 2023

Introduction

This release of WorldShare Record Manager provides one new enhancement in addition to three bug fixes.

  • Display of the temporary shelving locations in the Local Holdings Record (LHR) MARC 21 editor for 877 and 878 fields
  • Bug fixes:
    • FOLIO libraries only: Some user credential or API key configurations in FOLIO resulted in failed TCP/IP record exports from WorldShare Record Manager 
    • Dropdown in Enumeration/Chronology column on a Label Print List is limited to 10 selections 
    • Record Work Lists: Preview Record(s) after Edit Action Applied for LBD and LHR entries in a work list produces an error

These enhancements are the direct result of your feedback.

New features and enhancements

Local Holdings Record (LHR) MARC 21 editor

For LHR 877 and 878 fields, you can now choose from a dropdown menu for subfield $I (Temporary Location)

When entering data into 877 or 878 fields in the LHR MARC 21 editor, you can now select from a dropdown menu for Temporary Location subfield $I.  Previously, you needed to type the Temporary Location data into the subfield $I.

878 subfield $I Temporary Location

Bug fixes

TCP/IP record export

FOLIO libraries only: Some user credential or API key configurations in FOLIO resulted in failed TCP/IP record exports from WorldShare Record Manager

Depending on how your FOLIO administrator specified your TCP/IP record export/import settings, WorldShare Record Manager may have either supplied a success message when the record did not successfully export or the TCP/IP export action would hang.  Now, the TCP/IP record exports to FOLIO correctly function.

My Labels

Dropdown in Enumeration/Chronology column on a Label Print List is limited to 10 selections

When selecting entries under the enumeration/chronology dropdown on a Label Print List, you could only select up to 10 entries at a time.  Now, you can add more than 10 for label printing.

Record Work Lists

Preview Record(s) after Edit Action Applied for LBD and LHR entries in a work list produces an error 

In an LBD or LHR record work list using a barcode match script, for a given list entry when selecting View --> Prev Record(s) after Edit Action Applied, an error window would appear.  Now you are able to see the preview successfully.
