[IUG] Hopefully some easy questions

[Mark Simon <marksimon at nypl dot org>]

I'm new to this product, We're creating some custom reports for tracking
various holds and I was wondering:


   - When I pull up a list in 'View Holds' and Select printing through FTS,
   where can I find that file and how is it delimited (we obviously will have
   some huge files and need to be able to control formatting)
   - When using Scheduler to Create Lists/Review Files, I get unhelpful
   messages from the Scheduler : Job has started, Job has Completed and Job
   has Failed. Nothing identifies the specific job that was running except the
   Start time. Other than keeping a list of unique start times and referring
   back to it constantly, how can I make my tasks self-identifiying in the
   noticwes?
   - Create List is a wonderful tool for non-programmers, but a bit-head
   likes to play with real data. Has anyone had any luck connecting the back
   end to a data warehouse or SQL tool? Does Innovative supply ODBC connectors?


Thanks,
