Export RFID Pad Server Settings
At my library, the installation of RFID equipment & the entry of the required IPs in Sierra are handled by two different departments. Typically, I'll see a ticket that a new PC/RFID pad has been added & receive a request that the IP be added to Sierra.
In addition to the RFID Pad Server Settings table in Sierra, we maintain a separate spreadsheet of assigned IPs, machine names & information on when & whom the request came from to add or replace them.
While adding & replacing more than 20 IPs this morning, it dawned on me that this process, or at least a periodic check to make sure that only valid/in use IPs are included in the table & that what's in the table matches other records that we keep (like that spreadsheet) would be improved if we could export what's in the table to more easily compare what's recorded elsewhere.

Exporting the data makes sense as there would be fewer mistakes and quicker completion of this task.

We are planning on doing an audit of the RFID Pad Server Table. As it is, I anticipate it being a very tedious process. It would be less so, if the table could be exported.
