There are two levels of passwording:

• Login
  The login is often shared by several people in a department. It sets the module as well as the default settings for the Millennium program. It defines such things as
  • Screen colors
  • Screen icons
  • Session sounds
  • Printers that are available as "system printers."
  • You statistics group
  • The modes that will display
  • The tabs that will display
  • How fixed length fields display the
  
  
• Password
  The password is unique to each individual. It defines what functions you are allowed to do in the system.

A. Click on the Millennium icon for most function. The ending letter of your login name determines which module you will access.

a = Millennium Acquisitions
c = Circulation
d = Database Maintenance/Cataloging
s = Serials
z = Administration

B. A few functions require connection through the telnet interface. Choose the Anzio icon and enter your character-based username and password.

1. A. The bibliographic record is the core record in Innopac.
2. The  record number sequence is distinctive for each type of record in the integrated library system.  [I.E. The numbering for item records is unrelated to the record numbers of their parent bibliographic record.]
3. The last digit of all numbers is a check digit. Note: An "a" can be used to replace the check digit when the check digit is unknown.
4. The letter identifying the record type proceeds the number.

• b = bibliographic record
• c = checkin
• o = order
• p = patron
• r = course reserve
• v = vendor
• a = authority
• e = resource
• l = license
• t = contract
• n = invoice  
• cc = checkin and card

Modes are tasks that you can perform. Modes vary from module to module. (For example, check-in is only available in the circulation module.) Modes are set in your login and the mode functionality is defined in your password. Modes such as Global Update and Rapid Update allow you to manipulate large sets of data. The Create List mode is a powerful tool for gathering records with like elements.

Each login is able to control certain display options through Admin-->Settings. You can control such things as:

Using Settings Options

Settings control prompts, templates, and other features for the different modes in the Millennium applications. In the Settings window, related Settings options are grouped on tabs. Each Millennium application offers Settings tabs specific to the functions performed in the application.
To open the Settings window, choose Admin | Settings. A window similar to the following appears:

The following settings can have a different default value for each Millennium application, even when those applications are started using the same login through the control bar:

• Templates
• New Records
• On-the-fly Records

NOTE: Saving a settings option in a module started from the control bar does not change the default in any other module, unless the settings option is one that is allowed to have a unique value. e.g. Setting a default template in Millenium Circulation does not make that template in Millenium Cataloging

Record Display Settings

The options in the Record Display tab affect the brief record display of bibliographic records. The tab can contain the following options:

Claiming Settings

The Claiming tab contains options for claiming in Millennium Serials.

Create Lists Settings

The Create Lists tab contains options that affect searching in Create Lists mode.

Export Records Settings

The Export Records tab allows you to set default output values for exporting MARC records.

Funds Settings

The Funds tab contains options for fund adjustment and fiscal closing in Millennium Acquisitions.

Global Update Settings

The Global Update tab contains the options for the Millennium Cataloging Global Update mode.

Invoice Settings

The Invoice tab contains options for creating new invoices in Millennium Acquisitions Invoice mode.

Macros Settings

The Macros tab allows you to customize your keyboard function keys. The system offers the ability to customize function keys F1 through F12, plus these same function keys in combination with Alt, Ctrl, and Shift, e.g., Alt F1, Ctrl F1, Shift F1, etc. If you have customized your function keys by using macros, you can press the function key or function key combination to activate the macro. For example, if you set F10 to "Colorado Springs," then you could key F10 in the City field for new patron records instead of keying the city name every time.

New Records Settings

The New Records tab provides options for creating new records in Millennium.

On-the-Fly Records

You can specify default templates for creating the following record types:

• bibliographic
• item
• patron

Templates Settings

In the Templates tab you can build a custom list of new record templates for each record type. When you add templates to your list of Preferred Templates, these templates are not saved to your local PC, but are accessible to you wherever you access Millennium. If your settings on the Admin | Settings | New Records tab is "Prompt for template," Millennium displays your list of Preferred Templates from which you can choose a template for the new record, when you create a new record.

Rapid Update Settings

The Rapid Update tab sets the defaults for Rapid Update functions.

Receive Settings

The Recieve tab sets the defaults for receiving new materials.

Reports Settings

The Reports tab allows you to customize which columns display in the reports you generate in the Headings Reports mode. By default, all columns are shown in headings reports.

Search Settings

The Search tab allows you to customize search options for Millennium Cataloging.

Session Statistics Settings

The Session Statistics tab contains the following option for displaying session statistics.

Millennium Statistics Settings

User preferences can be customized on the Statistics tab of the Settings panel, which is available under the Admin pull-down menu.

Windows Settings

The Windows tab contains options that specify whether Millennium runs in a single window, or in multiple windows.

It is possible to use shortcut keys to reduce mousing. See III manual page 100742 for details on the Shortcut Keys.

Staff typically work in the staff view through the Millennium modules. The public accesses the catalog database through the web view (OPAC) at http://catalog.lib.cmich.edu.
