| - | * **Aspect** - | + | * **Aspect** - The Aspect option is now largely //deprecated// in Mystic v1.5. Selecting the **Aspect** option preserved the size and position of the Catalogue Items Manager between sessions. |
| - | * **Maximise** - | + | * **Maximise** - The Maximise option is now largely //deprecated// in Mystic v1.5. Selecting the **Maximise** option maximises the size of the Catalogue Items Manager when next displayed, filling the workspace area. |
| - | * **History** - | + | * **History** - The History option automatically loads the circulations history of a selected item. |
| - | * **Paging** - | + | * **Paging** - The Paging option displays a menu in which the user can select the size of the page (i.e. number of items) to display when a refresh of the list is performed. It is recommended to keep the page size as small as possible, and use the **[Back]** and **[Forward[** toolbar icons to move between pages. |
| - | * **Barcode** - | + | * **Barcode** - The Barcode option displays a menu in which the user can select how barcodes are generated when the **[Create]** button is selected. **[No Precalc]** performs no actions, and issues the barcode in the **<New...>** format; **[Precalc]** pre-calculates a new barcode based upon the last number used; **[Scan Before Creation]** requests a barcode from the user (e.g. scanned from a new book with the barcode already applied). |
| - | * **Purge** - | + | * **Purge** - Determines whether any item removed from the database is instead transferred to the **[Purge Bin]** rather than removed. (Note:Any item removed //again// when already within the purge bin is totally removed from the system). |
| - | * **Donate** - | + | * **Donate** - The Donate option is now largely //deprecated// in Mystic v1.5. This option states that once a catalogue is made, is can be used to update a record in HUB Bibliographic database. |
| - | * **Search** - | + | * **Search** - This option states that when a serial number (e.g. ISBN) is entered on a new item, the HUB Bibliographic database be searched when the user moves on (e.g. by pressing **[TAB]** or selecting a different field with the mouse). If found in the bibliographic database, the Catalogue Item Manager will populate what fields it can with data from the recovered record. |
| - | * **Update** - | + | * **Update** - This option states that //in appropriate fields which would support the action//, pressing the **[Enter]** key on the keyboard will update the record in the same way as clicking the **[Update]** button or **[Update]** toolbar icon. |
| - | * **Manual** - | + | * **Manual** - This option states that automatic item list refreshes should **not** be undertaken, and the list should only be updated when the user //manually// clicks the **[Refresh]** toolbar icon or otherwise undertakes another action which would update the list (e.g. pressing **[Enter]** in one of the filter criteria fields). Setting the list refresh to manual //greatly// reduces the amount of network traffic, preventing the list from updating itself on each new record creation or minor record modification. |

| - | * **Remove Scanner Affixes** - | + | * **Remove Scanner Affixes** - These two fields provide a way to enter any scanner affixes that should be removed from any input //prior// to the barcode being used within Mystic. One of the most common affix that needs to be removed is the tilde (~) prefix. |
| - | * **Strip Then Buffer** - | + | * **Strip Then Buffer** - The Strip-then-buffer option tells Mystic to strip any inputted barcode back down to its most basic form (e.g. 000101 becomes 101) prior to buffer it back to the correctly recorded [[:pergamonmystic:linkedhelp:lookup_module_hid|HID Formats]] for catalogue accession numbers. Setting this option allows for the rare cases (usually as a result of importing several generations of library catalogue) where older barcodes have a long format but which need to be modified to a shorter standard format now adopted by the library (e.g. [000101] strips to [101], then may be re-buffered to [0101] if the new standard barcode length is 4). |
| - | * **Minimum Barcode Length** - | + | * **Minimum Barcode Length** - This option states what the minimum barcode length should be when scanning / typing barcodes. If a barcode smaller than this minimum is entered, Mystic will buffer the barcode to the minimum length before performing creations, searches etc. |
| - | * **Allow Attachments** - | + | * **Allow Attachments** - States whether Mystic should allow attachments to Catalogue Items. |
| - | * **Allow Duplicate Barcodes** - | + | * **Allow Duplicate Barcodes** - States whether Mystic should allow duplicate barcodes, or to challenge the user when an attempt is made to use a barcode already in the system. |
