Cleaning up Branches and Loan Rule Determiner Tables in Sierra

Program Description
Are you drowning in loan rules? Not sure if you need more itypes? Want to delete some branch codes but don’t want to blow up the system? Come and learn from our experiences reducing our branch codes from 200+ to 26 and our loan rule determiner table from 300+ to 33 lines. You will come away with a project plan and the confidence to tackle loan tables gone rogue. We are a public library, but this session is suitable for all library types.
