BH - Book Bundles
Book Bundles Overview
Important!
This program will only operate if your Book Hire module has been set up to run in 'Non-tracking' mode.
An example of a book bundle might be 'Year 8 Core Subjects Bundle'.
This is a multi-purpose program that allows you to:
- Search for existing book bundles using specific criteria.
- Produce a screen list of existing book bundles that also provides the ability to view, edit or delete these bundles.
- Add a new book bundle.
Book Bundles Tab
Important!
This tab is only available if your school is running the Book Hire module in 'Non-tracking' mode.
This is an information only tab. It displays any bundles that this book belongs to. Book bundles are setup using program Student Admin > Book Hire > Book Information > Book Bundles.
Adding a New Book Bundle
Click the 'New' icon at the top of the screen to add a new book bundle.
Viewing and Editing Book Bundles
To view or edit an existing book bundle, use the search screen to select bundles from the database.
You can use 'Year Group', 'Subject', 'Bundle Number Range' or 'Charge Amount Range' as filters, or display all bundles by entering no selection criteria.
Click the 'GO' button (or press 'Enter') to execute the search and populate the 'Book Bundle List' screen.
This list screen displays the book bundles matching your search criteria initially sorted by bundle number.
The bundles on this screen can be resorted by clicking on the heading links above the 'Book Bundle List'.
Click on the 'View' or 'Edit' Action link to access the book bundle.
A book bundle can only be deleted by using the 'Delete' Action link when there are no associated loan records for that bundle.
