Re: [LM_NET] TARGET: Follett Circulation Plus 5.0 users and overdue letters

Nancy,
I empathize it's one of the real weaknesses of Follett -- I hate their reports but 
haven't found any way around them. Let us all know if someone has a brilliant idea.

Subject: TARGET: Follett Circulation Plus 5.0 users and overdue letters

Hi Everyone,
 
I've emailed Follett's tech support about this, but while I wait, I
thought someone else may have experienced this problem! We have
Follett's Circulation Plus (version 5.0), and each time I run overdue
letters I have to spend hours reformatting the letters (taking out
excess space, trying to format the letters so they are one page per
student, etc.). Plus, for students who have both overdue books and
fines, I have to completely replace the text I've created for the letter
since I can't run those letters correctly from the system. Is there a
way to export or extract information that will give me names of students
AND the titles of the books they owe? The extraction tool seems to only
give me the number of books, or the amount of money owed total. 
 
I do use overdue letters and will continue to. But does anyone know how
to make this work better in Circulation Plus?
 
Thank you!
Nancy
