An item’s attributes may be modified after the item has been created. This will most commonly occur when an item is moving shelving locations, changing local duration or fine levels (or circ modifier), or adding an item alert, tag, or note.
Attributes may be modified one at a time, or multiple at a time.
There are a few areas in the web client that allow you to initiate item attribute changes.
- In the Staff Catalog > Bib Record > Holdings View
- In the Staff Catalog > Bib Record > Item Table
- In Item Status.
- On the Checkin Screen
- In an Item Bucket
Each location has an Action option for editing the item or holdings. Regardless of where you initiate the process, the Holdings Editor will open.
Editing a single item #
Click on the attribute you wish to change.Â
The attribute will expand. Make your change using the available form (drop down, free text, yes/no).
Once you’ve selected from the menus or entered new text, click Apply. Changes applied will now appear in green.
To save your changes, click Apply All, Save & Exit to close the Holdings Editor.
Editing Multiple Items #
You have the option to edit multiple items at one time. They do not have to be the same item. If you are changing the items’ attributes to the same option, you can edit them all at once. Using Item Status is likely the easiest way to begin this process.
Once the Holdings Editor has opened, you can see the attributes for each selected item.
To make changes, select the attribute you wish to edit. Check boxes will appear next to each selection. You may change all of the items, or deselect to only change some. Enter or select the new attribute from the drop down. Click Apply. Your changes will appear in green.
Click Apply All, Save & Exit to save your changes and close the Holdings Editor.
