Retrieving Biblio Edition ID

How to find a Biblio Edition ID number from BiblioSuite if needed

GreenLight can pull data from Bibliographic systems such as Biblio, Firebrand or ONIX to help create artwork and keep it in sync with production specs and sales requirements such as pricing.

When connecting to Virtusales BiblioSuite API GreenLight accesses this via an Edition ID which is linked to the ISBN.

If the Editon ID is not available to GreenLight then an alert is shown with an offer to go to BiblioSuite to quickly retrieve the Edition ID and continue.
