Step 3

• In the box below where it says What do you want to do today? select View devices on my property.
• Click on the Go button.

Step 4

• PIC  (Property Identification Code) - can select All PICs or just one.  
• Report Type: most common types of reports are:
  1. All devices currently on my PIC (no date range) - use if you are setting up Stockbook for the first time and you want to export all tag bucket files of all NLIS tags purchased into Stockbook.
  2. Device Purchased - use if you only wish to export the tag bucket file of your most recently purchased NLIS tags.
• If you selected “Devices Purchased” you will need to select the start date and end date for tags purchased in that period.
• Click on the Go button.

Step 5

• Next, double check the tags displayed are correct.

Step 7

• Click on the down arrow in the window that opens up.
