| + | * **Lists** - Lists take the same form as those that you can create in the staff **[Search]** dialog. Lists are constructed of search criteria and are therefore dynamic in nature. If you display the list, all items or readers that match the criteria of the check //at that moment// in time are displayed. Lists can be displayed either in the OPAC or by using the **Lists** search type in the manager dialogs. | ||
| + | * **Packages** - Packages take the form of Catalogue packages which contain a reference to an actual item which matches the check integrity criteria at the point at which it is run. As the system is not dynamic, no additional items will automatically appear in the results. Packages can be displayed either within the BISON package system, or by using the **Packages** filtering type in the Catalogue manager dialog. | ||

| - | === Item Cores without accessions / Item accessions without cores === | + | * __**Item Cores without accessions / Item accessions without cores**__ - Any item in the catalogue consists of two parts (internally to the database) - a Core containing data which is common to all copies of that item, and an Accession which contains unique information regarding a specific copy of the item. High library environments may have multiple Accessions linked to a single core (i.e. multiple copies) while simpler libraries and libraries in primary schools may simply use the system in a 1:1 relationship. In this case, multiple copies of the item will have a single Accession and a single Core for each item. These two checks are designed to find inconsistencies in the system and remove records which are no longer required. **CAUTION: The fixes for these integrity checks involve the removal of records.** |

All loans to these readers are automatically returned. |
| + | * __**Readers not in an existing group**__ - This fix assumes that reader not in a valid group are no longer valid, or have left the library. **Caution: The fix for this integrity check is to delete the readers**. | ||
| + | * __**Readers without a valid circulations profile**__ - This fix adds the default circulations profile to the problematic readers. | ||
| + | * __**Readers not in an existing audience**__ - This fix adds the default audience to the problematic readers. | ||
| + | * __**Readers not using the default profile**__ - This fix adds the default circulations profile to the problematic readers. //Note that not all readers may be using the default profile (e.g. staff and special readers) and may need the default profile. This state may therefore be intended.// | ||
| + | **For all integrity checks results which may be an intended state, it is better to create a dynamic list and investigate the items / readers manually** | ||
