Fund Library Authorization WizardFund Library Authorization WizardThe Fund Library Authorization wizard is used to the control the libraries for which a fund cycle can be used to order materials based on whether the fund cycle is authorized for the holding code library.
The specified libraries in a Fund Library Authorization policy are compared to the libraries of the holding codes to determine if the fund cycle is permitted to be used to order materials for a library. If a fund cycle or fund cycles can be used to order materials for only one library, or for multiple libraries, a Fund Library Authorization policy must be defined for every unique combination of libraries. A Fund Library Authorization policy is not required to be defined for all libraries; an empty Library Authorization field in the fund cycle record indicates that the fund cycle is authorized for all libraries.
Examples:
| • | A fund cycle can only be used to order materials for the Education Library. The Fund Library Authorization policy named EDUCATION specifies only the Education Library. |
| • | A fund cycle can be used for the College Library and Institute Library, but not the Vocation Library or the Law Library. The Fund Library Authorization policy named ACADEMIC specifies the College Library and Institute Library. |
At least one library must be specified in the Libraries field when creating a Fund Library Authorization policy. An empty Libraries field in the policy is invalid.
From the List Policies window, you can create, display, modify, copy, or remove the Fund Library Authorization policies. Click Close to exit the wizard.
