About Running Jobs:

  • Perform changes on sets of records
  • Changes can be actual changes to the information, or include withdrawing (deleting) items
  • Records can include bib, holding, and items, but only one type of record at a time
  • Some jobs run on some records will have effects on related records. Some logic is built in and some you can choose - for example, if you delete items, you have several choices for what to do with the related holding and item records - keep them, keep them and suppress them, or delete everything if it is the last item on the record

Example: withdraw (delete) items
