Usually this means the wrong import type is selected on the left. Make sure you have Items selected, and the import should run correctly.
We recommend running a report, first! The Copy Information Report and Patrons Information Report can show you exactly which items and patrons will be affected–just make sure the selections in the report match the selections in the desired utility. When in doubt, reach out to our support team at support@goalexandria.com.
Make sure that your Google account has two factor authentication turned off, and the “allow less secure apps” setting turned on. Note: Sometimes it takes a day for Google to allow access after changes are made. Check Email Preferences to ensure you’re using the correct settings.
Go to Notices. Scheduled reports will have a calendar icon to the right. Select a report you want to pause, and turn off the Schedule. You may want to keep a list of these reports so you can remember to re-schedule them when school resumes.
Also disable emails if you have automatic email notifications turned on in Circulation Preferences.
Get a list of loaned items (including temporary items) along with their due dates with the Loaned Items Information report! Turn on Page Break on Major Sort if you’re sorting by level (grade) or location (homeroom) and using the Detailed or Complete formats. Then you won’t need to run a separate report for each.
Use the Copies added selection to see copies your library attained at a certain point in time (enter the date range or relative date). Note that you are selecting the date you want to see, not the date you don’t want to see. For example, to get a Weeding List of books your library has had more than 5 years, you would use the date range of March 1990 (or some earlier date) to March 2016.
