Catalogue records can be updated using the 'Discovery' scheduler task. This can help you ensure that any required available information for the resource is added, like the summary and any necessary keywords. This data can help your borrowers find and decide on what they wish to read next.
Once the task has been setup, it will run on a regular basis, but can also be run manually. We recommend you check the settings before scheduling the task so that you can specify what will be updated.
To set the task up, first load the Management page of your library system then select 'Schedule' from under 'Tools' on the right-hand side of the screen. Next select the pencil icon on the same line as 'Discovery' to open the settings box.
This screen allows you to select which fields will be updated. The settings here only affect resources retroactively, it is not possible to change what fields are brought onto a book record at the point of cataloguing.
Tick each of the fields that you wish to update.
Each of the options map to fields within a book record (with the exception of the Meet the Author links which are stored internally).
The remaining two options under 'Actions' change aspects of how this task is run.
These options are 'Update Empty Fields Only' and 'Force Complete Update'.
Click 'OK' to save the changes. These changes will only take effect when the 'Discovery' task has run via the scheduler. You will now need to schedule the task to run in order to make the changes to your resource catalogue.
