HOWTO: Modifying the ILLiad Borrowing Docline Macros
January 5, 2006

SUMMARY

You can customize the macros that ILLiad uses to fill the Docline requests.  The macros are the FillArticle.txt and FillLoan.txt files.  These files reside in C:\illiad\docline on each ILLiad client machine.  The files store TAB commands and merge fields that ILLiad accesses to know how to fill the Docline Web pages.  

The merge fields are the same as those used by ILLiad in the e-mail templates.  The merge fields allow you to use any field in the ILLiad request, user's record, or your office contact information (LocalInfo) to automatically fill a field in the Docline workform.  

The {TAB} commands instruct ILLiad to tab through the fields on the Docline workform.  

the {Enter} command mimics the pressing of the Enter key.  It can be used when a button needs to be activated in the Docline workform. 

EXAMPLES

Here is an example of the FillArticle.txt macro file:  

{tab}{tab}{tab}{tab}{tab}<#User>{tab}oo{tab}a{tab}a{tab}<#Lastname>, <#FirstName> - <#TransactionNumber>{tab}{Enter}

Note:  The existence of merge fields together without a {tab} means that the information will appear in one field in the Docline workform (i.e. the patron information all showing in one field).
