Screens and settings
ISBN Request Page
The status line, warnings, action buttons and the form, copy sheet, printings, barcode, copyright page and history cards on the page of an ISBN request.
The header of the request page shows the title, the status, the form and edition, the assigned ISBN and the application number at the Ministry of Culture and Tourism. The line below the header gives the next step and who takes it. On a request linked to a catalogue record, the Catalogue record button opens the record.
Warnings
The warnings at the top of the page show these situations.
- The publishing board sent the request back, or the Ministry returned the application, with a reason.
- The request was cancelled.
- No publisher certificate is entered, or it has expired.
- No Ministry officers are listed.
- The ISBN range message has not been fetched yet.
- The ISBN range message has not been refreshed for more than three weeks and does not know the number of the request.
Action buttons
Which buttons appear depends on the status of the request and on your permissions.
| Button | Request status | Who uses it |
|---|---|---|
| Send for approval | Draft | Production coordinator |
| Approve, Send back | Awaiting approval | Publishing board |
| Back to draft | Awaiting approval, Ready to apply | Production coordinator |

| Enter the ISBN, Ministry returned it | Sent to the Ministry | Ministry officer |
| Add volume | Set request | Production coordinator |
| Cancel request | Before a print date is entered | Production coordinator |

If a button you expect is missing, the reason is shown below the buttons. For example, if you prepared the request, it says that another member of the publishing board has to approve it.
