Step-by-step guide

  1. Access SLED in Colleague; available in this security class:  

    CORE.SLED.UP
  2. The SLED form:
  3. Create a SavedList name:   
    1. MUST BE IN ALL CAPS
    2. CANNOT EXCEED 20 CHARACTERS
    3. CANNOT INCLUDE "SPACES"
  4. Unlike XSAV, you will know right away if that list is already taken, because records will appear on the form before you added any.  Just cancel and create another savedlist name.  Recommendation is to pre-pend the name with your initials.  If the list does not exist, you will get a prompt to "ReEnter" or "Add".  Click "ADD"

On Line 1 of the form, click on the "Detail Option" on the right side


Paste the list of IDs into the box.  Depending on how you have the IDs, there may be a blank line at the bottom.  Also, check the top line to make sure you do not have a "Column Heading".  

CLICK    SAVE

and the IDs will appear on the SLED form, in the same order you have them on the spreadsheet.

CLICK   SAVE-ALL

NOTE:  There is another form, SLCR, that is often referenced in Colleague Documentation.  That requires some limited knowledge of programming language.  This process will not use a pre-existing list, it will create a list using the criteria mentioned in the form.   IT Recommends using Informer to generate a savedlist as the selection process is easier to manipulate.
