[Wactclc-alma] Changing temp location issue

[Kim Mitchell]

Thank you Kirsti,
I followed the directions on the link below but it made no difference. The barcode continues to autofill.
Since I can't change it, we moved to Chrome.

I wonder if this behavior is being caused by Firefox trying to autofill a form based on previously-entered data?

It will be ok!

Thank you Wade,
I'm testing on both the PCs with scanners at the circ desk.
Historically we use Firefox.
The last time we changed multiple items via scan in items and it worked as expected was Friday (Firefox)
Log out and in to Alma, same results. Both computers.

Changing browsers , both Chrome and Explorer function as expected via scan in item. The book's barcode I scan in is changed. However the "recent" barcode and title still dangle just below the scan field.
In Firefox, it seems to bring up the most recently scanned barcode and changes that one.

Kim,

If you log out/back in to Alma, does it still do the same thing?

If you use a different browser?

What about a different PC / barcode scanner?

I agree with Shellie. Right now, it feels more like a barcode scanner issue, than something on the Alma side.

When was the last time this workflow of changing multiple items via scan in items worked as expected?

Thank you Shellie,

I've continued testing this and here is the snap shot of those results.
The scanner correctly reads the barcode for Emotional life of the toddler the first time(line 2). I was able to change location.
Scanning this same barcode again brings up this other book that I don't have at the desk. (line1)
The barcode of writing and reading across the curriculum seems to be staying in the memory, if that's possible???

Hi Kim,

It seems like an issue with the scanner....based on your comment that you can type in the barcode and get the result you expect.

Anyone have ideas about what could be going on with the scanner?

Hello,
>From Scan in items:
[cid:image002.jpg at 01D3D8B8.C9A656A0]
Change type temporary,
Location New Magazines,
When I Scan the barcode I have in hand, the most recent item scanned shows up below and changes are made to that item not the item I am currently scanning .
I notice that when I manually enter the barcode the correct item's location is changed.

Any suggestions as to what is going on with the scan process?
Thank you
