OCMSLS Mandarin "Daily Use" Information

This contains "How-to's" for various types of situations. Created in response to fielding your questions and visiting and helping you with your catalog! Please remember this is stuff I've put together in conjunction with some of the Official Mandarin Documentation so always look to their "Users Guide" and "Daily Use Handbook" as what I've done is by no means complete and is subject to updating. 

Please see the Custom Reports link for any reports referred to below.
