Banyen Semi-Monthly Reporting

Twice a month we send a list of all new titles to Banyen (run every two weeks)

Before doing a Banyen Export, do a HiPoint Blurb Dump then run ItemMaster and hook it up again.

In Data Tools, click HiPoint Blurbs.

Import the blurb dump in the top part of the screen by going to Data Drop > copy and paste file name > Clear Old Data > Import New Data

Processing HiPoint blurb dump

Under Banyen Export (bottom part of screen):

For mid-month, enter <= 15 then month and year

For month end, enter >= 16 then month and year

  • The data will be exported as an RTF file and will open up automatically
  • Save file as \data department\banyen updates\Dempsey New Titles yyyymm_MMM_1 or 2 (1 indicates the first extract of a period, 2 indicates the second) as a .docx
