Offline Circulation

Library Materials

Click Choose File (or Browse, based on your browser), and then find the Follett Remote folder on your computer.

Find and select the circulation .txt file you want to upload, and then click Open.

Notes:

If you have multiple data files, choose the oldest file first to ensure checkins and checkouts are tracked accurately.
If the Follett device you used previously only had minimal charge, the year of the file name can be corrupted. If you cannot find the file to upload, look for a file with the date you performed the remote circulation, but with the wrong year.

In the Date of Transactions field, make sure it matches the date in the data file name.

Use the information in the following table to select the appropriate checkboxes:

Checkbox	When to Use
File may contain check out transactions for visiting patrons (Library Manager only)	If the data file includes circulation for patrons from other schools
Record in-library use	If you want Library Manager to record circulation statistics for materials used in the library only
Do not create temporary records	If you want to prevent Library Manager from creating a temporary record when it does not recognize a barcode number during the import
Limit the Job Summary details to errors and warnings	If you want Destiny to limit the Job Summary to only transactions that resulted in errors or warnings. Deselect this checkbox to record every circulation transaction.

Click Upload Scans. The Job Manager opens once the file is uploaded.
Click Refresh List to update the job status. Once the status of the Offline Circulation file changes to Completed, click View to review it for any errors or warnings.
After you confirm that the upload went as you expected, delete the data file from the Follett Remote folder on your computer.
