| - | ==== Creating New Readers ==== | ||
| - | |||
| - | The recommended first process after identifying existing readers to perform a creation of new readers that are in the import file. To do this, click the **[Create]** toolbar icon. This process is automated and does not require further user input. | ||
| - | |||
| - | Once the creation of new readers is complete, a new search is performed to match up the now existing readers. You may again need to select an alternate search method such as **[Search] > [Name]**. | ||
| - | |||
| - | At the end of this process, all readers in the list should show a green tick and possess a barcode. | ||

| - | ==== Updating Existing Readers ==== | ||
| - | |||
| - | Once new readers have been created, it is recommended to //then// perform the update of existing readers. | ||
| - | |||
| - | By this time, all readers in the list should show a green tick and be matched with a record in the database. To start the update process, click the **[Update]** toolbar icon. Read the confirmation carefully, as this confirmation is an inverse confirmation to force a contemplative pause before updating the //entire// readership database. | ||
| - | |||
| - | Once started, this process is automated and does not require further user input. The process is completed and the Import Readers dialog can be closed. | ||

| - | ==== Dubious Reader Matches and Non-Matched Readers ==== | ||
| - | |||
| - | {{ :pergamonmystic:linkedhelp:mystichelp_bison_0002.jpg?200|}} | ||
| - | In some cases, either a reader will not be matched or you may have doubts over a match. This doubt may be caused by the forced use of the **[Search] > [Name]** matching method when names in the import file are very common (e.g. the ubiquitous 'John Smith'). | ||
| - | |||
| - | In these case, a double-check can be performed by **right-clicking** a row which in the readers list. Mystic will attempt to match the reader with readers in the database based upon a range of other values. | ||
| - | |||
| - | If any matches are made, the slide-in menu will appear listing the possibilities and stating which and how many fields were able to match. If any of the provided options are better than that already selected, choose the menu item to replace the match. | ||
