Background

When Rightsline launched, rights records were migrated from Alliant into Rightsline.  The rights populated in BroadView by Programming were not migrated into Rightsline.  Alliant and Broadview rights records were not exact matches of one another.  Thusly, when a migrated rights record is updated - the steps below are necessary to void the old Broadview rights record to make room for a new rights record.


Possible reasons to use this Job Aide:

  • Broadview does not have correct rights information.
