Record Navigation and Status
Changes and how
they affect Uploading
AlphaNumeric Mode
BookTrakker is designed to make it as easy as possible for you to move
between records and change the Status of records without having to
go into Edit Mode.
Jump
to Record
In BookTrakker, in the Detail View of Inventory, the focus of the
cursor is ALWAYS in the Rec#
field. You can navigate to any record number by just typing it on
your keyboard, then pressing Enter. Suppose we are on Record
Number AN37220BT and wish to go to
AN1234BT:
|
 |
| Type AN1234BT on your keyboard, press Enter, to get
to:
|
 |
|
|
The advantage of this method is that when an order
comes in you
do not have to use the Find button to get to the
record; just type in the number and
press Enter, and you are there.
Changing Status
is equally as simple.
Change
Status to SOLD ( Ctrl-S )
|
Caution: In
AlphaNumeric Mode you must use the Ctrl
key PLUS the single letter
key to make changes in Status. |
The process for marking an individual book Sold is similar. Just
hold down the Ctrl key and type the letter
S on your keyboard. A message will appear:
|
 |
|
|
| Note that the focus is on the Yes
button. This means you
do not have to click the button, just press
Enter on your keyboard
to confirm the sale of the book.
When you press Enter, the cursor will turn
into an hourglass, and after a few seconds you will get:
|
Status will change to Sold, Quantity (QTY) will decrease to 0,
and the record will be marked for upload for the next upload
cycle.
|
|
|
Change
Status to ON HOLD ( Ctrl-H )
If you wanted to put the book On Hold,
hold
down the Ctrl key and type
in the letter H (case insensitive),
then Confirm the change by pressing Enter
on your keyboard or by clicking Yes:
|
 |
|
|
| You end up with:
|
Placing a book On Hold also marks it for upload in the next
upload cycle. The online services know that any upload record from
BookTrakker that has any book set as anything other than Available
means they remove the listing from their database.
|
|
|
Change
Status to AVAILABLE ( Ctrl-A )
If the book does not sell then you can reset it to Available by
pressing the Ctrl key and typing
A (case insensitive) on your keyboard, which brings up the
message: |
 |
|
|
Again, the focus is on the
Yes button. If you want the record to
be uploaded as Available then press
Enter or click Yes, which will mark the
record as Available, set List Online to Yes, and mark it for upload
in the next upload cycle.
List Online is how you tell BookTrakker that you want your record
listed online. If List Online is set to No, then the record will
not be uploaded. |
