These are the fields in the Edit screen that let you <b>pick</b> from a <b>list</b> of possible values, with that list being fully configurable by you the user.<br /> Examples of pick list fields are Location, Owner, Format, Genres and Subjects (both multi value pick list fields), but also Author, Publisher and Series.</p> <p>Now, a lot of the questions we usually get about Book Connect are related to pick list fields and can usually be answered with:</p> <blockquote><p>“Just use the Manage Pick Lists screen”</p></blockquote> <p>Renaming Locations, Merging duplicate Authors, fixing author sort problems, fixing typos in author names, etc… it is all done in the Manage Pick Lists (MPL) screen. An important and powerful screen, but… not so easy to find if you don’t know where to look or don’t even know what to look for.</p> <p>With today’s Connect update, we are making this a lot easier: We have improved the Manage Pick Lists screen itself AND made it more accessible / discoverable:</p> <p>In short: </p> <ul> <li>Improved Manage Pick Lists (MPL) screen </li> <li>Easy access to the MPL screen right from the folder panel </li> <li>Refreshed Edit Comic screen, with better pick list fields and direct MPL access </li> </ul> <p> <a

It has been part of the Connect web-based software for many years (since May 2015!). For the CLZ mobile apps, this “batch editing” ability was introduced much later, in July 2020.<br /> However, when we did that, we were forced to completely re-design the feature’s user interface, to make it work well on the small phone screen. And a strange thing happened: the UI/UX we ended up with, turned out be much better than the original Edit Multiple design of the Connect web-based software and the Collector desktop software 🙂</p> <p>So today, we are bringing that new Edit Multiple setup to the Connect web-based software!</p> <p> <a href="https://clz.com/books/web/whatsnew/2023/10/30/complete-re-design-of-edit-multiple-feature#more-18030" class="more-link"><b class="btn btn-books ps-5 pe-5">Read more</b></a></p> </div> <hr> <div class="wp-tags"><span><a href="https://clz.com/blog/tag/batch-editing" rel="tag">batch editing</a></span> <span><a href="https://clz.com/blog/tag/edit-multiple" rel="tag">edit multiple</a></span> <span><a href="https://clz.com/blog/tag/key" rel="tag">key</a></span></div> </div> </div> <!-- end post --> </div> <div class="content-container"> <!-- post --> <div class="blog-post"> <div class="header"> <div class="product"> <div class="icon"><img src="https://static.clz.com/img/clzmusic/app-icon.svg" width="28" height="28" class="wp-post-icon" alt="icon"></div> <div>CLZ Music Web</div> </div> <h2><a href="https://clz.com/books/web/whatsnew/2023/10/30/pre-fill-screen-orange-highlights-and-a-clear-button">Pre-fill screen: Orange highlights and a Clear button</a></h2> <div class="date">Oct 30, 2023</div> </div> <hr> <div class="wp-content-container"> <div class="wp-content"> <p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" src="https://static.clz.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/movie-connect-pre-fill-redesign-150x150.webp" alt="" width="150" height="150" class="alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-18041" />This update is all about the Pre-fill screen, you know, the screen that appears when adding items and lets you pre-fill fields while adding, like Location (= Storage Box for comics), Owner, Purchase Date/Store/Price, etc… </p> <p>This Pre-fill screen was introduced in Dec 2020, with a fixed set of fields. Then a year later, in March 2022, it was made completely user configurable, so that *you* could choose which fields appeared on the screen.</p> <p>This screen turned out to be a popular tool, but we’ve seen one problem with it:<br /> Sometimes, users pre-fill a field for a specific movie (e.g. Purchase Price or Quantity), then forget to CLEAR it for the next items they add.

E.g. items that you added manually, or items that you imported. The Link with Core tool is mostly used by users coming from other software and are switching to CLZ.</p> <p>Today’s update is a “behind the scenes” update, to make the Link screen faster and to improve search results.</p> <h3>Improved</h3> <ul> <li>The search now uses our elastic search engine, giving you better and more meaningful results for your unlinked items.</li> <li>Better uses of indexes and the elastic engine makes everything much faster too! </ul> <p>On top of that, we’ve improved the search results in the Link with Core screens for some Connect flavours specifically:</p> <ul> <li><strong>Comic:</strong> Now takes series popularity into account.</li> <li><strong>Movie:</strong> Now now also digs into our vast library of “alternative” and foreign titles for movies to obtain a result that matches your movie. </li> <li><strong>Music:</strong> Now also uses Discogs for finding results.</li> </ul> <h3>What is Linking with Core?</h3> <p>Connect is built around our central online database: Core. All factual data and cover images are used and shown directly from Core. If you have been using the Add screen to catalog your items, then most, if not all of your items will already be linked to Core. </p> <p>If you’ve added some items “manually” or if you’ve imported a list from CSV (or from somewhere else), there will not be a lot of data in them. </p> <p>To automagically fill in data for your items, the items need to be linked with Core. If you have unlinked items, you can link them to Core using the Link with Core screen which is found in the menu top left! </p> </div> <hr> <div class="wp-tags"><span><a href="https://clz.com/blog/tag/key" rel="tag">key</a></span> <span><a href="https://clz.com/blog/tag/link-with-core" rel="tag">link with Core</a></span></div> </div> </div> <!-- end post --> </div> <div class="content-container"> <!-- post --> <div class="blog-post"> <div class="header"> <div class="product"> <div class="icon"><img src="https://static.clz.com/img/clzmusic/app-icon.svg" width="28" height="28" class="wp-post-icon" alt="icon"></div> <div>CLZ Music Web</div> </div> <h2><a href="https://clz.com/books/web/whatsnew/2023/09/29/connect-is-now-available-in-french-spanish-and-hungarian">Connect is now available in French, Spanish and Hungarian!</a></h2> <div class="date">Sep 29, 2023</div> </div> <hr> <div class="wp-content-container"> <div class="wp-content"> <p>Earlier this year, we updated our Connect software to make it fully localizable / translatable.
