Hi Ros,
Glasgow did experience your problems a) & d). We reported these to III, and
they are now resolved by the installation of a 'bundle of patches for Rel
2002 phase 3' which also fixed some issues in other modules.
We also experience problem b) but we think this has always been the case on
our system. We're not aware of problem c).
Regards,
Karen

Subject: Minor glitches with Milser since release 2002 v 3
Colleagues in Serials have reported a range of small but irritating little
problems which have appeared only since the latest release was loaded.
I am interested to find out if other libraries are also getting these, or
are they unique to Durham and a local problem range?
a. UPDATE boxes appearing after you have done your update
If multiple boxes are selected then when you do things like update the boxes
the system does the change - and then up pops the same update box again and
you have to cancel. This is really irritating. Examples: highlight 3 check
boxes, choose update boxes as a group (CTRL/U)
A window pops up and you make a change and click on Submit
The system invariably seems to think you want to do another update the the
box appears again and you have to cancel with ALT/C
This occurs at various points and is irritating after a while with
repetitive work
b. INSERTING FIELDS INTO CHECKIN RECORDS - NON MARC
When inserting a couple of fields into the Checkin record, we see MARC tags
for them which we do not really want as this is non-MARC.
This only happens with Identity and pattern fields.
Identity shows as 843
Pattern shows as 853
This is just a minor irritant which we don't think was there before.
c. INSERTING FIELDS - field group tags appear in the input box
Sometimes now when inserting a field the field group tag appears in the
input box and unlike with searching of the indexes this does not get
overwritten when you start to type and you have to remember to delete it.
Random as to when this happens
d. RETURN KEY IN NOTES FIELD UPDATES
Prior to release 3 you could press return in a note box and it put in a a
hard line feed if you wanted one in a note.
Now if you press return it puts in a new line but then submits the update as
well.
This is not a major problem but it is a change and you cannot now organise
your notes with manual line breaks in them.
We can work round all these, except the repeat update boxes is a nuisance,
but are other people seeing this now?

Ros Pan
