Did you know you can try any app you want on the Alma sandbox? In Alma production, only certain apps are available based on what we have configured at Harvard, but on Alma sandbox, everything is enabled so that you can test any app at all. We encourage staff to try apps on sandbox to see if any might be useful. To have the app enabled on production, send in a ticket to LTS and we'll take it from there. |
Introduction
Cloud Apps are add-ons to Alma that customers write and share with other institutions. At Harvard we implement only certain Cloud Apps in production. If you see an app on the Alma sandbox that you would like to use in production, please contact the LTS Alma Support Center.

- This app can "Scan In" a list of barcodes
- Please contact LTS Support to become a Registered User of this app.
- For Tech Services units,
- You can use this app to put an item into the Acq work order, or change the status of the work order. You must use the correct status codes.
- This app can be used to mark a Tech Services work order as Done. The app can also change the status of a work order.
- If the items are not yet in an Acq work order (i.e. they are "In Place"), and they are going to HD/RD, you will need to first scan them into an Acq Work Order, and then scan them in a second time as Done.
- REMINDER: once you mark an item as Done, it will go into Transit to its destination. If you are doing clean-up work and the items are already at their destination. contact LTS for assistance.
- For Fulfillment units (circ desks),
- this app has the same effect of the Scan In menu items. For example, you can use it to return batches of items on loan.
- The app is a little slow, but you can do other work while it’s running. If you do, however, you lose out on any error messages. There is no status bar to indicate anything is happening.
- We STRONGLY ENCOURAGE you to test this app in the sandbox environment to ensure it works as you expect with your given workflows.
- The app accepts a plain text file containing only barcodes (no header field)
