After several attempts to install, I've finally managed to get Evergreen (2.1) up and running at a basic level. However, I have lots of questions that don't seem to be answered in the Evergreen 2.0 draft documentation or the Evergreen 1,6 final documentation. I'm running Evergreen as a test system without any "real" ordering or acquisitions.
I've managed to enter a few entries manually by using Cataloguing | Add New MARC Record, clicking on the K book template and ticking Fast Item Add, which allows me to type a class number and item barcode. However, this seems a bit cumbersome - is there a shortcut that will load the standard template automatically (there seems to be only one)? What is more problematic is that I've managed to add some entries without copies and can't seem to find these in searches, other than by guessing the TCN. Is there a route to the work records that I've added accidentally without any copies, or a "browse" screen for copy-less works? I can see an "Add volumes" command but can't work out from the documentation how to locate a work with no copies (ideally by author or title) and then add copies. Equally, I can't see an option in the staff client to edit a MARC work record to add missing fields, or to change copy locations. Is all this covered in some documentation that I've missed?
