List Management Options Overview

For your convenience when using Online Selection & Acquisitions (OSA), options are available that allow you to quickly take action on one, several, or all displayed lists.  Depending on the status of the list, the level of the logged on user, the permissions assigned to the user, and the function being performed, the available options may vary.  

 

For example, lists in Released Status will only have the View, Add Note, Archive, Distribution Report (incl. 3x5), and Download MARC Records options available.

 

The List Management Options are available in two locations, as shown in the examples below.  The top example shows a My Lists display of the users lists, where the drop-down list at the end of the row displays the available List Management Options.  The bottom example shows the List Detail view for that same list, with the List Management Options located above the list of items.  The lists of options are identical except the View option is not available on the bottom example because the list is already being viewed

 

The options shown on both examples below take the same action against the list.  

 

The table below contains either a description of the option, or the option name as a link which will open a Help topic providing detailed information about that function.

 

Add Items to a List Awaiting Review

You can now add items to a list that has a status of Awaiting Review Level X.  You must have a Review Level assigned to your user account that is equal to the X in the Awaiting Review Level X in the Status.  For example, if the list Status is Awaiting Review Level 2, to add items to that list you must be logged in as a user assigned a Review Level of 2.  To add items, locate the list on the Awaiting Review list of lists and select the Review option.  Then open the list from your My Review list of lists.  Add items to the list as you would normally and then proceed appropriately.  You can Order the list, or submit to the next level of review, as appropriate.

 

Edit a List Name - Click the link to the left to learn how to edit an existing list name, or change the name entirely.  The list must have a Status of Constructing.
