OASIS 2.9.3
June 2014
Advanced Cataloging
New Features
- It is now possible to add a field/subfield using Find/Replace.
- Fields and subfields can now be renamed.
Improvements
- When using the Advanced options, Find/Replace now assumes an asterisk (*) search and the Wildcards selection is made.
- On Remove Field/Subfield, if Remove Entire Field is selected, it is no longer necessary to require the user to enter a subfield.
Catalog (including Web OPAC)
New Features
- Catalog supports a new permission called Change Login/Password to control users’ ability to change the username and password in My Account.
- Duplicate detection for records added from Record Fetch has been implemented.
- Items that are added via Record Fetch now create holdings for each occurrence of 852.
- The Setup page has been enhanced to allow the user to reset Record Formats and Record Templates to the current default.
- A new key has been added to the Z39.50 Searches databases to control whether 852 fields should be removed when importing records through Record Fetch. The default is to remove.
- Clicking on the Catalog tab now returns the user to the initial page.
Improvements
- The RESERVED status in Record Details now shows the total number of hold and reserve transactions.
- If logo_redirect has an empty URL, clicking the logo image will take the user to Catalog’s initial page.
- The cover image no longer displays when using List and Compressed List formats.
- Databases that return 0 results are no longer listed on the Results page.
- In My Account Current Transactions and History, the Author is now a link and searches the Author index if clicked.
- The holdings are now listed in the Print format in Results and the Bookbag.
- The MLA and APA citation styles have been corrected. The update installer will update the corresponding record formats for all installations.
Adjustments
- The Reserve At pick list was unavailable if the user did not have access to Cataloging. The only requirement is Hold/Reserve access for OPAC.
- The Data Pager was causing the session to reinitialize on Internet Explorer 11.
- The Contact Your Librarian contact is now emailed when reserving/holding items in a non-scoped environment, or if the library record lacks email address.
- Bibliographies whose filenames contained apostrophes could not be deleted.
- After clicking the Setup button and logging in to the setup page for a particular installation (coming from a logged-in session), it was not possible to Edit or Add to Sort Formulas, Record Icons, or All Material Types.
- After searching in Standard Search using a Lexile (or other RP) range, if you switched to Advanced Search your query would generate an Invalid Lexile range error.
- The Tabvue button has been enabled on the stand-alone Oasis (Web OPAC).
Circulation
New Features
- Clicking the Circulation tab from anywhere within Circulation will take the user to the initial Circulation page.
- Call Number is now sortable in Library Transactions.
Improvements
- In new installations of Oasis, RDA field 264#c is handled along with 260#c for displaying Date of Publication. Existing Display.cfg files can be modified as follows: ~Global/Date~%bib:260#c%%bib:264#c%
- The filtered and/or sorted state in Library Transactions is now preserved as the user goes to and from other areas of Circulation.
Adjustments
- Circulation no longer sends the user to the Directory page after the application pool has recycled.
- When entering Loan mode by clicking an entry in Library Transactions, the Item link in the Item pane loaded the wrong bibliographic record.
- The presence of the Patron Picture no longer causes the data to shift under the wrong column headers on the Fine Payment screen.
- A crash that could occur when adding entries to Holidays & Exceptions in the Schedule with the error ‘Item has already been added’ has been addressed.
- Transactions created using Item Specific Reserve did not include call number.
Group Editor
New Features
- Group Editor supports a new permission called Change Login/Password to control users’ ability to change the username and password in My Account.
Record Editor
New Features
- Record Editor now allows the user to set visibility using the Mark Invisible checkbox.
Improvements
- The Calendar that is used for 853#e (date of expiry) now allows going forward a year at a time.
- When editing an existing bibliographic record, if the record has no 852 initially, a holding is now created, if the user adds 852 data.
Adjustments
- Record Editor failed with 'Session Expired' if there were mixed-case subfields ('a' and 'A') when an attempt was made to modify or save the record.
- Corrected an issue where 008 was not added to the patron record when the Default Patron group was unspecified.
Reports
Improvements
- Overdue Notice 1 Per Page report has been added.
- Item List reports have been updated to support RDA field 264.
Adjustments
- The Item List reports now sort by Title. When Title was specified as the sort, the sort had been by Call Number instead of Title.
- The call number was blank in all of the Statistical Reports Loans and Renewals by Dewey Ones, Tens, and Hundreds.
- The Spine Labels report printed too high on the page, causing the top of the call number to miss the label.
