[Wactclc-alma] [External] Bulk Change Due Date

Mon Apr 13 09:39:34 PDT 2020

That pulldown shows the user group description, rather than the user group code. Codes have to be unique, by descriptions do not.

If you want to clean this up, go to Alma Admin / User Management / User Groups, and delete the user groups you don't need or want, and edit the descriptions on the others to make them match the user group codes.

Thanks Wade! I appreciate your assistance.

I was able to update the due date to 6/18/2020 on 61 items.

I do have another issue that I have encountered. I noticed a lot of entries for the same user group in the drop down menu. Is there a reason for this? Is there a way to clean this up?

Two suggestions:

  1.  If you're updating *all* the due dates to the same exact date, no matter whether the patron is student, faculty, or staff, you can leave the "User Group" field blank.  Leaving the "User Group" field blank will change the due date for all patrons.
  2.  Set the "To Due Date" to be "06/29/2020."  That will catch anything that has a due date anywhere between March 20 and the end of your Spring Quarter.

Hope this helps!

Hello all,

I am also experiencing issues when trying to do a Bulk Due Date change. Our IT dept just recently resolved the issue with the student and staff expiry date. When I try to run the changes, I have 0 results. I am wondering if I need to change how I have entered the fields. I am leaving some fields blank (i.e. Material Type), so that it will capture everything. Since I know that expiry date isn't the issue, could someone please tell me what other issues I may be having?

Thanks!

I ran into a similar issue. Check patron expiry dates, if the due date extends past the expiry date, it throws an error.

Do your library calendars extend out to 6/30?  Maybe you need to make the HH:MM on 6/30 the same time that the calendar shows the library closing that day?

Hi All,

I am trying to update our due dates, so they are all due at the end of our spring quarter, which is June 30th. I keep getting errors. Any ideas on why this may be happening?
