De-Newing

De-newing is a function that uses Symphony reports to automatically convert the Item Types and/or Locations of new items to the main collection after a set period of time.

De-newing configuration

De-newing reports are currently set to run once a week in the evenings. Libraries have between 10 and 25 reports, each targeting different selections of their new items such as Adult Non-fiction, Juvenile DVDs, Romance, etc.

SWAN examines each library's desired set-up and attempts to configure the changes into as few reports as possible. Reports run at night and e-mail the results to libraries to use the next day to gather items, remove appropriate stickers, and reshelve them.

Taking advantage of de-newing

If your library wishes to set up de-newing reports, please send in a ticket to SWAN and we will work with you to find a time and configure the reports. Please bear in mind that de-newing is meant to edit item information. If you only wish to generate lists of new items to pull and process through Global Item Modification, this is better suited to a set of BlueCloud Analytics reports.
