Summary
There’s a number of places in MackinVision, particularly in the Circulation Desk and Serials areas, where a date, date and time, or just a time is specified. The format of these three types of dates and times are determined by a related parameter. Staff with the applicable User Privilege operations can edit the parameters as required. As they are Support parameters, it is strongly recommended that they only be changed in consultation with a Support representative.
