Processing multiple items
The Circulation Assistant supports processing multiple items even if your LMS client does not
support it. The extent to which this feature is effective depends on your LMS. The following
methods of processing multiple items are available:
Queued method with popup detection
This is a patented method that is available in conjunction with the auto synchronisation method
for compatible LMS clients. In this method, the Circulation Assistant sends the asset number one
at a time to the LMS window, waiting a predefined time for the LMS to process the item, before
sending the next item and simultaneously monitors for popup alerts (such as on-hold notification
and error messages) from the LMS client window. If the LMS client displays a popup alert, the
Circulation Assistant pauses for the user to action the popup before sending the next asset
number. If the user does not action the popup window within the predefined waiting period, the
system will “time out” and abort the action and you will need to process the item again.
