Textbook Tracker: Show Menu

From COMPanion

Use this menu to move between various Textbook Tracker services and modules such as Patrons, Items, and Circulation. For example, if you need to manage patron information, select Patrons from the Show menu. To check items out or perform other transactions, select Circulation.

Most of the selections in the Show menu have a corresponding section in this guide. Refer to each specific section for detailed information about each function.

• Circulation (Cmnd/Ctrl+T)—Shows the Circulation window. Select this option if you want to check out, check in, place holds, charge fines, place reservations, accept payments, or perform inventory and other circulation functions. The Circulation window is always open while Textbook Tracker is running; use this menu command to bring it to the forefront.

• Patrons (Cmnd/Ctrl+L)—Opens/shows the Patron management window. Select this command to examine, add, modify, or remove patron records.

• Items (Cmnd/Ctrl+I)—Opens/shows the Item management window. Select this command to examine, add, modify, or remove title or copy records from your library.

• Run Alexandria—If a Textbook Tracker Data Station is installed on the same computer, Alexandria is able to quickly launch it if you select Run Textbook Tracker from the Show menu.
