05.04 Deleting/Culling Records in Data Entry

Deleting/Culling Items (Option One – just a few items)

  1. Open LibCode and Data Entry.
  2. Choose the record of the item for culling.
  3. Click on the Catalogue Detail Tab, the ‘Minus’ button and OK at ‘Delete Record”.
  4. The item will appear in RED in the catalogue list.
  5. To permanently remove deleted records, the catalogue file should now be packed using the Pack menu option’ in Utilities.

If your school requires a print out of Culled Items (no matter how few) you will need to mark these as ‘Written Off’ and cull using the Cull Items option in Utilities.

Marking Items as Written-Off for Culling

  1. Open LibCode and Data Entry.
  2. Choose the record of the item for culling.
  3. Click on the Barcode Detail Tab.
  4. Click on the drop down box of the Status Field and choose W (written off).
  5. Click on drop down box of Status Date and click on Today’s Date and OK.
  6. Click Save.

See Culling by Buffer File if you have LOTS to delete… you can just scan a list of barcodes into a file and then use that list too.
