[IUG] Creating a list for the Latest issue received

[Siôn Romaine <sromaine at u dot washington dot edu>]

Hi,

In the WebOPAC, there's a "Latest Received" link that shows you the 
latest issue checked in on each checkin card. Has anyone figured out how 
to produce a review file in Create Lists that will give you a list of 
these Latest Received links for each checkin record?

I know that you can create a list of checkin card issue boxes and then 
export the list, but you have to export information for all checkin card 
issue boxes and you end up with information for all the boxes on the 
checkin card, rather than just the last/latest issue received. Now that 
this season of "Librarian Idol" is over, I could devote my evenings to 
sitting quietly by the fire and reading through countless fascinating 
lines of issue box information, but I'm getting hooked on "So You Think 
You Can Shelve" and I really just need the information for the last 
issue that was checked in.

If any of you clever and big-brained Innopacers have figured out a way 
to do this, or, alternately, created a script that will allow you to 
manipulate your export text file so that you only get the Latest 
Received, can you please let me know?

Many thanks,
