Modify Book Copy                                   

 

Inputs                                   
     
Location
A pull-down menu containing all of the branches that belong to the Springfield Library. This menu currently contains only the main branch, but is expandable as the Springfield Library expands.
Floor
A decimal number of the form DD, where D represents a digit from 0 - 9. Thus, a particular book can only be on a floor from 0 - 99.
Circulation Status
A pull-down menu containing the choices:

{available, on loan, overdue, on hold, out of circulation}

Only one of these choices can be selected.

      (Note: call number was already entered as an input from previous module - View Book Copy)

 

Outputs                                   
     Upon acceptance and verification of the book data the book copy information will be modified and saved to the database.
     If an unrecoverable error (such as read write errors to the databse) occurs the module will output the error code to the error handling module.

 

Imports                                   
     None

 

Error conditions                                   
     Syntax errors on inputs to the fields with required formats. (i.e. invalid number range for floor number)
     Input missing from field.

 

Description                                   
     
Modify Book Copy Window
This window contains a numeric entry for floor number. There are pull down menus for location and circulation status. The floor field requires an integer ranging from 0 - 99.

Buttons Present: MODIFY, SAVE, QUIT

MODIFY
Once selected, the system will allow the user to implement modifications to the appropriate fields of the book copy.
SAVE
Once selected, the system will attempt to update and save the (current) book copy information that may have been modified. If there are any format errors in the information fields, a message box will pop up and display a message with a list of each field that was incorrectly entered/modified.

NOTE: The 'SAVE' button will not work if the user is not currently in modification mode. (i.e. 'MODIFY' button must have been pressed)

Buttons Present: OK

Selecting 'OK' will close the message box.

Once all of the fields are error free, the system will update and save the book information.

QUIT
If selected, any data changed/entered into any of the fields will be lost, the book information will not be updated to the database, and the window will be closed.

 

Walkthrough                                   
     The user clicks on the 'MODIFY' button, thus allowing the user to edit/modify the book copy information. The user then can modify the appropriate data of the data fields and press the 'SAVE' button. If there is an error in one or more of the fields these errors are displayed in an error window once the 'SAVE' button has been pressed. Once all errors are corrected (if there were any), the 'SAVE' button is pressed once again to save/update any changes made of the book copy information into the database. If at any time the user wishes to leave, clicking on the QUIT button will abort the modification of the book copy information.
