DESTINY

=Access Levels:= Everyone has the appropriate access level in Destiny. If you are having problems, it is probably due to an inaccurate file in Infinite Campus. Do you have two accounts in IC? That will be a problem when information flows to Destiny. If you only have one account, is your employee number correct? Your location? Check everything for accuracy. If it is correct, your account will update automatically and you will be able to log in using your District 50 credentials. Check with your building =Patrons:= Patrons are automatically added through Infinite Campus. It is an automatic process but does depend on the timely addition of a patron (student or staff member) and the accuracy of the file in Infinite Campus. If your student or teacher is not in the system within a day or two of enrolling, you should check with your Infinite Campus person.
 * I can't log in to Destiny. How can I get access?**
 * How do I add a patron into Destiny?**

If you would like to add a patron in Destiny before they show up (overnight), just go to Back Office and do a quick add; Name (exactly as enrolled with no nicknames and District ID. Do not complete all information, it will be automatically done through the nightly update process.

=Photos:= Photos will be uploaded to Destiny by the IT department once received from Life Touch or another vendor. = = =Questions & Support:= For how-to questions, use the ? and Help feature within Destiny. If you still have a question, contact Follett Support. Be prepared to give your customer number. Support one another. Discuss in one of your monthly meetings and determine a procedure for asking each other.

=Reports:=

To help you weed, determine publication dates in one of your sections by pulling a Shelf List.
Here is a helpful report that you will need occasionally. It is best to choose an Excel file as the Output. Then, you can go into the .xls file and manipute the date however you want to. See the attached report I pulled and manipulated for Metz.
