    Set appropriate Item Status in LCF item entity to determine item availability

    Commissioning is required for this feature in server versions earlier than 10.8.2.  

    The LCF circulation status code (CIS) parameter has been added to Item Status parameters. This allows libraries to match a Spydus Item Status with a LCF status code, which will be returned when the appropriate API calls are made.

    If no CIS is selected, and the status is not one of the known defaults (on loan, lost, etc), the default 03 (Available) code will be returned.

     Return all EANs from LCF API

    The Manifestations LCF API calls now support querying the following IDs:

    Exclude  'API only' user accounts from requirement to change password at first login

    This feature requires a minimum server version and patch: 

    • 10.8.2
    • 10.7.4
    • 10.6.6
    • 10.5.12

    API only user accounts will not be required to change their password on first login.

    Apply Spydus charge parameters when setting LCF charge type field

    This feature requires server version 10.8.2 or higher.  

    When the LCF charge type is set in Charges parameters, Spydus will apply that CHT charge type if the selected charge is paid via the LCF API.

    Support for Retrieving/Viewing the Authorization entity for authorization type AUT03 within LCF v1.2

    This feature requires server version 10.1.6 and above.

    If libraries are using the AUT03 LCF authorisation type, this can be mapped to a borrower Privilege Level code using the Circulation General Parameter Privilege level for internet access. This can then be applied to borrower accounts using the Privilege codes field in Borrower registration.

    Borrower Privilege Level codes are maintained in the ZBL lookup table in Table Manager
