[Previews Catalogs]

Lance, it is both Magazines and Books. I have found several Titles that I know are books listed under the wrong Publisher.

[Previews Catalogs]

Press and Hold the SHIFT key when you select the Menu Option Check for Updates.

[Previews Catalogs]

Mark, it it strange because the seem to go into random publisher folders.  For the same update, Previews Catalog cover went to 'Slave Labor" for Lance and 'Gabe Martinez' for me. So, they may be in some other publisher for you. If you download covers, check the Log to and search for 'Previews Catalog' to see if and where they might have been written.

To add to the weirdness, in my update, the Previews Catalog cover got put into the folder for Publisher "Gabe Martinez". Here are a few of them:

[Universe X: 4]

Try Title "4" (seen here at Atomic Avenue: https://atomicavenue.com/atomic/series/30522/1/4

Wile it has A Universe X Special on the Title page, it also has a large 4 above it.

And the indicia has:

"4tm Vol 1 No. 1. October, 2000...

So the actual Title is just "4" per the indicia.

[Viewing my collection]

If all you want to see are Items you own, you can use the View drop-down menu (in the top left area of the main window) and select Items to Show->Owned Items.

As for  designating a comic for sale, there is a For Sale check box column. If it isn't showing, you can use Menu item Setup->Columns to View and select it to be displayed (and move its location to where you like).

After it is displayed, 'checking' the box should mark it as For Sale.

There is a lot more to do with selling but I don't do this so have little experience. But I think once all the items are Checked For Sale, you Sidekick to place them on Atomic Avenue.

 

[Inhumans vs X-Men series]

The Title would be: IVX and you can see the issues on AA at: https://atomicavenue.com/atomic/series/52366/1/IVX.

 

[Downloading Picture Files for 2021 Archive Edition]

Once they are all downloaded, open CB and use Menu Item:
File->Install Pictures and Movies...
Then navigate to the location of the downloaded files and select the first one.
After that, they will all install, one file after the other into CB's Picture folder location.

This process could take a little while as there are a lot of pictures in the zipped files to decompress and copy.

[Downloading Picture Files for 2021 Archive Edition]

That sounds about right. These are very large files. I just started all 4 (or 5?, it's been awhile) downloads at one time and then did something else while they finished.

PS It is more about your connection speed then the specs on your computer (although SSDs would help in the write part of the process).

[Mercy Sparx (3rd Series) Issue 1 variant question]

It looks like this should go in Mercy Sparx (3rd series) as a new variant 1/E blank cover variant.

You can see it at the Grand Comics Database (GCD) here: https://www.comics.org/issue/1248491/.

[How do I get the mobile app to refresh so that the issues I added appear in the collection?]

Okay. Trying to think of some possibilities, if you click the folder Icon between the two arrows in the top right corner, and the Titles window has Show All Titles selected, and the Title is not showing up, then:

1) The Title may be in Books or Magazines (the Titles window will only show Titles for the type you are currently viewing. i.e. Books, Comic Books, or Magazines).

Try, in the Find box in the top center of the main window (making sure it is set to Title Name or Barcode), type in some of the Title you are looking for. This look in all types and not just the one being viewed. NOTE: If it is in a different type, it will be at the bottom of the suggestions listed.

or go to the different types (use the drop-down box in the top left corner to change the type being views) and use the Title window to search for the title.

2) You might try menu item File->File Tools and use Rebuild Lists, specifically Series Information and List of Owned Series.

[How do I get the mobile app to refresh so that the issues I added appear in the collection?]

If I follow what you are asking, then you are:

Scanning new purchases with the Mobile App. But when you open CB on your PC, you don't know how to get those purchases into the database.

Now, I have not done this but I believe you do this through Sidekick. Click on the "Check Now" button next to "Check for New Sales and Purchases".

[Cannot Submit New or Corrected Data]

Currently, I am not having any trouble submitting corrections.

One thing you might check is:

Use Menu item Internet->Login Information

And enter you Userid and Password as you would if logging on to the CB Website.

If that doesn't work, you should send an email to support at support@comicbase.com.

 

 

[Additional Reporting Options]

I will let HC comment an the ability to customize reports (my guess is that Crystal Reports doesn't lend itself to that).

In the mean time, to get a report of books of $20.00 or more, do this:

Run a Find (CTRL+F).
In Find drop-down box, select Item Fields->Price
In the next drop-down box, select Is Greater Than or Equal To.
In the Box type 20.00 (or just 20 since it is an even dollar amount).
(make sure the List Only Items In Stock check-box is Checked)
Then click Find button.

When the result set is displayed, use CTRL+A to select all the rows.
Right-click to bring up the pop-up menu and select Quick Report (or press F7)
This will create a Report.
This may or may not be what you are looking for but it may be close enough until something better comes along.

============

You can't 'print' a Report to Excel but you can Export it.
If you run a regular Report (using the Menu option), click on the Preview button to generate the Report.
If you use the Quick Report, it automatically goes into Preview.

In the top left corner, the first icon (circled in Red in the attachment) is to Export Report. Click on it and a save dialog box will be displayed.
Use the drop-down box to change Save as Type to an Excel format (the part circled in Blue).

[How do I use Comicbase as a database where I can do simple cataloguing things]

First, what Edition of CB are you using (Free, Express, Pro, or Archive) and what are you running it on (Windows or Apple (with a Windows emulator like Parallels)?

As far as CB crashing goes, I can't help you. CB runs fine for me (Archive Edition on Windows) and I can't recall the last time it has crashed.

As for using CB, the basics are relatively easy.
Assuming you have never used CB before (have no existing database), when you first run it it will as you to Create/Name a Database.
(I am going from memory here as it has been a long time since I have installed on a new computer without an existing database but this should be really close to what is needed).

Once that is done, you should see some Title and the Issues in that Title.
To 'add' one of you issues, you need to Find that Title which can be done in a few ways.
1) click on the icon between the two arrows in the top right corner or press CTRL+T to bring up the Titles window.
At the top are two radio buttons; One for All Titles and the other for Titles in Stock (you own). Initially if you click the Titles in Stock, nothing will show up as you haven't entered any, yet.
In the box below the radio buttons, Type in the name of a Title.
NOTE: With this method, it will be looking for a Title Title, exactly as you type it. Leave off the leading artitlces (mostly 'The').
2) On the main window, at the top center is a box where you can type in a Title.
The grayed out text in the box should be Title name or barcode. If it isn't use the drop-down arrow to the left to select Title or barcode.
NOTE: This Find will look for what you type anywhere in the Title so you get a greater chance of finding the Title without the exact name. This makes it the better choice when trying to find a Title.

Type in enough of the name to get a small list of possible Titles. Try for what would make it distinct. You can type Superman but will get a lot of Titles listed. Also a particular Title may have different Series or Volume numbers. for example, Superman has 1st Series, 2nd Series, 3rd Series, 4th Series, and 5 Series along with two Canadian Series. You can use the down arrow on your keyboard to scroll through the list and a little information will be displayed showing the Year range for the series.

Once you find the Title, scroll to the Issue number for the issue you have.
Then Change value in the QTY column from 0 to 1 (or more if you have multiple copies).
At that point, you have 1 Issue in the Database that you own (or have Quantity in Stock for).
You can change other values such as Condition (Grade) and Cost (what you paid) as need.

NOTE A potentially easier way to find the Issue is to use the Barcode on the issue (assuming it is a comic published after 1970's).
Either scan it into the Find box at the top center of the window (if you have a barcode scanner) or type in the numbers. This will usually take you right to the correct Title / Issue.

That is the basics for entering your issue into CB. There is a better way if you have a barcode scanner (or like to type in barcodes) and the is with the menu Items->Add by Barcode (or CTRL+I).
When the Add by Barcode window is displayed you can scan each comic and it will be added to the list. Once finished scanning, click Save and all the scanned items will be added to the database by changing the Qty to 1.
Note: Before clicking Save, you can change the Add Qty, Condition, Cost or Selling Price for any or all of the issues scanned.
Note 2: By clicking the check box Display Items After Saving in the bottom left corner, when you click save, a find is automatically done and all the issues entered will be displayed.

Hopefully this will help you get your issues entered.

PS Some issues are either not in CB (while it has a lot, it doesn't have everything ever printed) or are in CB but not where you thing they might be.  Asking in the forum and you will probably get help finding issues.

I am not addressing the download to Excel here as this is already a little long. you can explain the exact steps you are doing I can see if you can help with that.

That issue can be found in The Amazing Spider-Man (Public Service Series) #1 ( on Atomic Avenue: https://atomicavenue.com/issue/265107/Amazing-SpiderMan-The-Public-Service-Series-1)

I found this by doing a Find on Storyline Skating on Thin Ice.

NOTE: Be sure to run File->File Tools->Rebuild Lists (Advanced Lists of Contributors, Storylines, and Notes).

Also, don't miss the colon after Belle (Belle: Ghosts & Goblins One-Shot).

(personally, I am fifty-fifty on whether One-Shot should be in the Title but either way could work.
