3M™ Digital Library Assistant User Guide
Using the Setup Lists screen
The Setup Lists screen allows you to view and activate the lists and collection
categories on the memory card.
The Items column displays the number of items contained in each list or category.
The Date Loaded information displays the date/time when Data Manager software
exported the lists to the memory card.
The checkbox in front of each search list allows you to select the search lists that you
want to be active while using the DLA.
All search lists are selected each time a memory card is inserted into the DLA.
DLA Lists
Data Manager software is used to create various lists from extracted circulation
system data, and export selected lists onto a memory card that is used by the DLA.
Order lists – a list of items in shelf order—in the order that they should appear on the
shelf (required for the Check Shelf Order, Shelve Items, and Sort and Shelve
functions).
Search lists – a list of items the library would like to find (the order does not matter).
These lists can include missing or lost items, etc. (required for Search for Items
function).
Pull lists – a list of items (hold lists, weed lists, etc.) that you intend to pull (required for the Pull Items
function).
Collection categories – the Collection Category labels that you created in Data Manager software and exported
to the memory card (required for the Collect Data function).
The DLA’s Save function allows you to save the Item IDs of any currently displayed items to a specific
category.
Deactivating search lists
All items on any active (checked) search list will be searched for during the Search for Items, Check Shelf
Order, Collect Data, Pull, Find, and Sort & Shelve functions.
All search lists are selected each time a memory card is inserted into the DLA.
1. From the Home screen, press the Lists button.
The Setup Lists screen displays the order lists, search lists, and collection categories on the memory card.
2. Use the DLA stylus to clear (uncheck) the checkbox of any search list that you want to deactivate.
You can press Check all or Uncheck to select or clear all the lists at the same time.
