Using the Collect Data function
The Collect Data function allows you to save collected Item IDs to a memory card. Data Manager software can
import collected Item IDs from a memory card and save them as formatted text files. You can use these text files
to update the data in your circulation system (for example, in-house use).
Before you begin…
Use Data Manager software to create different collection category labels. Once created, export the collection
categories (along with lists) to a memory card.
When you use the DLA to collect Item IDs from RFID tags you can save the Item IDs to the memory card in
any of the collection categories that you exported onto the memory card.
You can save collected data to a specific category. This helps ensure that the imported text files do not
contain “mixed use” Item IDs. For example, you would not want to save “in-house” and “weeded” items in the
same category.
Collection display features
You can clear individual items from the display list before
you save the data to the memory card. You can also clear the
entire display list.
Display list counter
Displays the number of search items read / the total number
of items in the display list.
In the example:
• The display list contains 34 items.
• Seven of these items are search items.
Item information
The DLA displays the primary and secondary lines for each
item on the display list.
• This information only appears if the memory card
contains a shelf-order or search list that includes the
item.
• The information displayed in the primary and secondary
lines is defined by the export format assigned to the list
in Data Manager software.
