3. Fill in the text boxes as appropriate for your symbology, and then test your

barcodes using the instructions in the next section. When you're finished,

click Save.

Important:

You must fill in all fields that are enabled. If you don't know the

How to test a barcode

1. In the Barcodes tab, choose Test. The Test Barcode dialog appears:

2. In the Barcode text box, scan the barcode or type it, and then choose Test.

When the validation process is finished, a message appears notifying you if

the barcode passed or failed. If the test failed, contact your barcode vendor or

Follett Software's Technical Support to ensure your symbology is set up

properly in the Barcodes tab.

Protecting your Follett applications with passwords

For security purposes, Circulation Plus/Catalog Plus allow you to change the

passwords you use to access the Circulation Plus/Catalog Plus applications such

as Cataloging and Circulation Desk. This ensures that only those users who know

the passwords can access the applications.
The Cataloging and Patron Maintenance tabs in System Setup are protected using

the password for the corresponding application. For example, to access the

Cataloging tabs in System Setup, you must enter the password for the Cataloging

application. The Circulation tabs and the Site tabs have their own passwords,

called the Circulation Setup and Site Setup passwords.
In addition to these passwords, you can also specify a password for overriding

block conditions that occur during transactions in Circulation Desk. A block

condition occurs when a patron violates a circulation policy, such as exceeding

the maximum number of checkouts. In order to proceed with the transaction, you

must enter the Circulation Desk Override password.
To use the security options in Circulation Desk, you must define a password for

Circulation Desk. To use the security options in Cataloging, you need only define

one on the Limit Cataloging Access dialog; you do not need to define a

Cataloging password.

Note:

If you don't want to use passwords, you may delete any or all of them.
