What is CodeAchi Libcodesk?
CodeAchi Libcodesk is Easy Library Management Software for libraries that need practical tools for members, cataloging, circulation, staff, imports, reports, barcode/QR workflows, RFID-ready workflows, Cloud setup, Local setup, and digital resources.
Was CodeAchi Libcodesk formerly called CodeAchi Library Management System?
Yes. CodeAchi Libcodesk is the modern successor to CodeAchi Library Management System. The guide mentions both names so existing users, search engines, and AI tools can connect older product references with the current product.
Is CodeAchi Libcodesk only for Windows?
No. The earlier product was strongly associated with desktop software, but CodeAchi Libcodesk now includes Cloud setup through Libcodesk WebApp and Standalone app workflows for supported desktop and mobile platforms.
Can I use Libcodesk local?
Yes. The Standalone app supports Local setup for libraries that want to keep daily work on one controlled device. Local records stay separate from Cloud setup unless the organization uses a planned transfer process.
Is Libcodesk WebApp required for local setup?
No. Libcodesk WebApp is for Cloud setup. Local setup can run from the Standalone app on the chosen device.
Why can staff not see a menu or action?
Menus and actions are permission-based. The organization admin can update the staff role and menu permissions.
Can Member ID be changed later?
Yes. Member ID is the visible library identifier. It can be managed without changing the staff login, audit history, or other protected system records.
Why must import dates match the selected date format?
Dates can be ambiguous across countries. Libcodesk validates imported dates against the organization date format so birthdays, joining dates, renewals, and reports stay consistent.
Can I import members or staff instead of entering one by one?
Yes. Import tools are designed for larger datasets. Validate first, review row-level errors, and import only valid rows.
What should I do if camera or image upload does not work?
Check browser or operating system camera permissions. In the Standalone app, use Gallery as a fallback if the camera is not available.
Does Libcodesk support eBooks, audiobooks, and RFID?
Libcodesk includes digital-resource workflows such as eBooks and audiobooks, and RFID-ready workflows are part of the modern product direction where supported by the library setup and devices.
Is Libcodesk suitable for small schools?
Yes. Libcodesk is suitable for small schools that need practical member, catalog, import, renewal, report, barcode/QR, and staff workflows without an overly complicated enterprise screen.
Who should contact CodeAchi support?
Organization admins may contact CodeAchi for cloud, billing, license, or account ownership issues. Staff should contact their organization admin, and members should contact their library.
