PC- The Ubuntu Maniac

Dear all,
In the last post, we have talked about the basic modules we used most frequently. Now we are moving to the other regular and important modules like Tools Module and Report Module. In the tool module, there are so many things which so useful and can be executed to reduce many workloads. Here three parts are there like Patron and Circulation, Catalogue and Additional Tool. In the patron and circulation section we will have discussed about importing new patrons bulky, then importing patron images bulky, then about notices and slips which helps to generate and send notices to the users about all transactions to the library, Bulk Patron Management which helps to modify/ delete patrons, than about creating patron cards, etc. In the catalog section batch management can modify the bibliographic record/ item level modification/ deletion bulky, generating barcodes and spine labels, exporting all bibliographic records, uploading local book cover images bulky were discussed. In the additional tools section setting up the calendar to calculate holidays and fine rules and CSV profiles helps to import/ export data into .csv files (likely to MS Excel), Log viewer helps to check all modifications from the staff end, task scheduler helps to do a work in a particular date/ time, news displays can be done in both staff end or user end, QOTD can be displayed in the user end, access files can help to work by accessing the files stored in the server, uploading files can help to upload and work in staff end directly.
In the Report Module, various reports can be generated to track all the library activities of all modules. Reports can be created in two ways, one is setting it up manually step by step or you can create through pasting SQL codes. The codes are available on the internet.
